Day Two

Well spent way more that I would have liked to do today but we have things that had been planned for ages such as the dog groomer coming and other half going out in Manchester with the lads.

I have a Shih Tzu called Dave and a miniture Pug called Pete, the Pug is great and doesn't need any grooming at all, just a brush 2-3 times a week as his fur doesn't really grow (but he malts like crazy all year round) it just stays nice and short.

My Shih Tzu on the other hand looks like nobody bloody owns him if he isn't cut at least every 12 weeks in spring/summer and once during autumn/winter and each time its £30. I must say at this point it is £30 VERY well spent as Angie (from Posh Paws Mobile Grooming) that comes to cut him is lovely and she does such a great job, she is so good with him as he can be a right pain in the arse when being cut. Dave only has one eye so can get nervous with the sound of the clippers but Angie is amazing, she is slightly mad and I regularly catch her singing to him (usually 80's rock) while she is cutting him but it seems to help calm him down so its fine with me lol and he does look a very pretty boy when she is finished.

for anyone that is looking for a great dog groomer that comes to you her details are below, I can't recommend her highly enough.

As for other half's night out I really thought it would blow the budget, especially with it being in Manchester. I was pretty pee'd that it was in our 1 month (now 3 month) challenge but he agreed to get the tram there and back and he would only take £40. Even that amount made me sad, I really wanted to not spend anything that wasn't a necessity but like I have said it was already planned so I just had to except it.

Much to my surprise at 00:20 I got a drunken text message (spelling all wrong and more kisses than usual) saying he was walking down the street kebab in hand and had over £10 left to give me back!!!

Hip Hip Hooray he is learning to live for less at last :-)

Must admit I was very proud of him and I still have no idea how he managed a night out in town with tram tickets, drinks and a kebab for less than £30 and to be honest I don't really care I am just glad he did it.

So day two saw £60 spent on none essentials but I still don't think it was too bad and if anything it just gives me the challenge to make it back somewhere else.
