Yesterday was expensive... $50 for my half of cabs, tickets, and drinks and a show in Georgetown, plus $40 for dinner. And I got a new iPhone (finally!) and then had to buy a couple new charging cables and a new case
Oh, and I spend $5 on hangover breakfast McMuffins this morning.
We just signed our life away via buying a townhouse on Wednesday... bye-bye large chunk of money. So this weekend we moved. It wasn't too bad all things considered.
Friday:
$28 on celebratory dinner out... also very little food in our rental and dishes/silverware packed
Saturday:
$60 U-Haul
$45 pizza & pop for friends helping us move
Sunday:
$63 groceries
$8 Target (a few things for our new house... the first of many I'm sure)

We're still on the new house buying spree, so this weekend was horribly non-MM
Friday- $125 at the grocery store Sat- $65 on dinner, another $35 on drinks at places within walking distance of our new house Sun- $194 at Target, $361 at Cost Plus, $30 at Homegoods
Friday $100 doctor and meds for DD2 (strep) Saturday $50 Barnes and Noble, $95 dinner out for my mom's birthday $69 Old Navy. But I got 6 sweaters/hoodies/pullovers for DH for 97 cents each! Sunday $180 groceries (just supplies for DD2's birthday party...not groceries for the week ) $75 to take myself and 5 little girls to see Cinderella for DD2's birthday $45 gas for H's truck
I thought it was very cute. I'm not a mom that pushes or buys princess stuff, either. I appreciated that the prince was a good guy. In this version, he first meets her when she's not all fancied up so I liked that, too. Plus, that wedding dress...
Not very. Fri: $18 thai food Sat: $140 groceries, $25 brunch, $250 nordies, $90 hair cut, $25 booze to bring to a friend's Sun: $30? FI met some friends at a bar for the game.

For being sick and stuck home... not really. I ordered Chinese delivery Friday because I wanted soup and was not about to go to the store. However, it supplied meals for Saturday too so I guess not too bad. I made an Amazon order too. I bought a birthday gift for a friend, but was not quite at free shipping so I added on a few more things. Yea.... Not really MM
It wasn't. Friday - $150 Whale watch tickets for Boston Saturday - $40 haircut $8 lunch $30 Application fee for my new rental $25 dinner/drink to watch the game Sunday - $45 groceries $11 supper
Friday $170 Groceries (this is still higher than desired, but I'm still putting it down to being in the "restart pantry" mode)
Saturday $20 lunch out $60 games (finally made it to the one geek game store in town, and found some amusing options) $0 went furniture shopping, and found a few couches we kinda like, but want to get rid of the current set before we buy a new set...
Sunday $15 rice cooker from amazon prime. I begin to see how dangerous amazon prime could be...
ETA: And... oops. I forgot the biggest purchase - $180 on Saturday for a small Smart TV for my office, which currently is playing Pandora.

Not too bad.
Friday- 23GBP for some groceries Saturday- probably 50ish GBP at the pub for drinks for my husband's birthday 80GBP for the babysitter Was expecting to go out to dinner, but we drank too much so we skipped dinner and went home.
Sunday- 80GBP for afternoon tea
Quite reasonable, but we are still getting over vacation sticker shock.
This was apparently car care weekend at Casa de Papiercherri. DH is officially free to a good home. I think we spent about $2k between tires, brakes, oil changes, and air filters, and that's doing a large chunk of labor himself. At least the air filters are washable? Ugh.

It wasn't even close to MM.

Sunday: returned half the stuff to Home Depot that I no longer needed after borrowing supplies $-50, more shopping $90 (three pairs of pants that match the suit, five tops), $30 gas, dinner with friend $0 (we trade off and it was her turn to buy) I'm sure I'm forgetting things...
