Today will be NSD no. 2

Saturday we went food shopping. Signature to be updated, I can!!!8217;t find the receipt so will wait until it comes up on my phone app. Stupid me!

Yesterday I met up with my sister so another spend day at coffee shop. Got some new jeans, I fell over on Saturday and ripped mine, but they were spent using a voucher. Spends for coffee, a doughnut and tram fare. Within my weekly budget there so that!!!8217;s okay.

Working from home today which is why today will be a NSD. I really need the rest of the week to be NSD also to build them up.

Just catching up on reading this thread.

Apple - sorry to hear about you losing that much money how annoying. Will gladly play along with fat busting competition for grandma's

Kat - Glad to see you back on here. Still jealous of your Seattle trip Ok I have watched much to much Grey's Anatomy.

Lauralozzle - hope you weren't injured in your fall and no one saw you take a tumble.

Right back to the grindstone lunch over.

NSD 3 today!

All pitfalls and man traps avoided.

It is cold though.

Up to 3 NSDs. Weekly shop done so should build up a few more NSDs now.

Exercise done daily so far. Healthy eating going well but still need to drink more water.

Ombudsman complaint done and posted.

apple muncher - Thank you. Am really pleased with all the sorting out of things in the flat the past few months.
Thanks for the comments regarding going back to work. It was a tough day as it was the school I was working in when my Mum had the fall. Brought back some emotions. They have been supportive and hopefully I will feel better as time goes by. I work in the front office, so time does go by quickly.
NSD - 3/18.
Brought my own lunch into work.
Walked from the bus stop near work and back after work which is about 10 minutes each way. Then this evening got off quite a few bus stops earlier so about another 15 minutes.
Grateful for:
Getting support in work.
Self care.
Having a chilled out evening.

Great to hear that going back to work was ok for you Kerry Woman

I am on NSD 3 today. I needed bread, but made a loaf using flour etc that I already had, as opposed to buying one

I will have to spend tomorrow though, as I am running out of washing up liquid. Although... I have some shopping vouchers from a survey which I could use instead of cash. Does it count as a NSD if you buy something, but use vouchers to pay for it??

So long as no money changes hands, then you can keep your NSD.

Good Evening Turtles... NSD 3 in the bag. Gym session 2 in the bag for the week. Back in early tomorrow for cardio.

Calling14 - nice to see you again. Where do you suggest I visit in Seattle? I have a list of things from my friend but do you have ideas?

I have decided to up my savings per week to a well rounded amount that I am not going to print because my mother watches this thread and has done since I stopped doing them and will know all my business...hahaha!. This will be tough - saving the money that is, not keeping mother in the dark.

I've removed my CC from Amazon and haven't spent any of my weekly allowance yet. I'd like it to stay where it is until Friday (weekly payday) to allow myself to get ahead instead of chasing my tail.

Other than that life is simple; work, eat, gym, sleep, repeat.

Today I am grateful for a relaxed journey to work, for headspace, for a good day, for my hat and gloves, for the French theatre company being really good this afternoon, for a lift to the bus stop from a lovely colleague, for a good line management meeting, for dh making a delicious shepherd's pie.

DawnW I wouldn't have thought so.

managed my NSD, some lovely lady gave me her parking ticket & the kids did get some sweets but hub paid. as a rule I only count money he spends from the main bigger budget not money that is just his (bdays extra jobs he does etc) though I guess its a grey area. Either way we had a lovely day.

I am really trying to make the most of things we already have, I started last month to read my kids books we haven't read before & I have contined this. each night I choose one & they choose the other. using existing tickets to go to the aquarium is part of that. money is tight at the moment but there is no reason we can't make the most of things.

I downloaded a diet app to count my calories, I have been running/ exercising & it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference, although I do feel better in myself. I am hoping tracking what I eat more specifically rather than guessing will help! I usually do slimming world but while I have a budget of 200 per month to live off Im not sure I can justify the cost so Im hoping some old fashioned calorie counting and moving my butt will work

filled my car up & came in £8 under budget so moved another 10 pounds into savings. budgets now;
1060 emergency fund
700 Paris spends
100 xmas 18
115 spends

hope everyone has had a lovely start to the week. hugs to all that need them xx
