Sunday no spend catch up

Well, strictly speaking it didn't end up being a no spender. I spent £15 on lunch and on coffee and cakes. Hub managed to spank £32 (not including the train fare which we agreed could be a business expense) - it is amazing how quickly it adds up. But both these expenditures are very much down on the usual. Its hard to be totally no spend and keep up social occasions. All in all I am quite pleased. WE are going at it again next week. Mainly because we really do have no money. Its all a bit depressing having to dip into the savings I managed to build up. But I guess its better than being in debt. I still have to find a job. I have no idea how I am sposed to do this when I don't seem to have any Bub free time. I am also trying very hard not to be totally depressed about everything. I am not quite sure what the matter is, but I really do feel proper deep down sad and it doesn't quite seem to be going away. Saying it makes me feel a bit better. Its probably to do with not being able to find work and the arguments it has caused. THe household spend was way down too. I had a budget of £100 a week. Which seems like a lot to many of you budgeteers, but for some reason I found it hard not to come in under it. I have managed in the past to more or less stick to £50 a week. And this week I am very pleased to say has come in at £28.39. And mostly that has been to do with Hub buying eggs and ham for brunches. Otherwise I reckon we could have gotten away with just buying bread and milk.

I need to find a job. For everyone's sake. Its also hard to be around each other the whole time. Someone needs to get out of the house for a bit!!
