Claireabelle, it was only one splurge and it doesn't happen all the time, so i hope you had a good time and lots of good memories and are now ready to get back to debt busting. Plus you've got two weeks off to catch up!

Thanks mate.

Just done our finances and we're ok for the month... plus OH pointed out that we have loads of food and booze after the barbie so shouldn't need to go shopping for a wee while! Silver lining (sort of :rolleyes: )

I feel like I have changed my spending habits, but not my way of thinking about money totally. I'm definitely more prone to slipping up on the weekend when I don't have my spreadsheet glaring at me! :rotfl:

I have had the most non-dfw weekend i could have had (unless I had gone mulberry bag shopping) and all I have to show for it are some amusing photos, a 10 quid sainsbury's barbecue and a sore head... i have spent about half of my month's budget and I need to slink away and think about what I've done, in the naughty dfw corner
All I have done today is

• eat leftover bbq sausages for breakfast (I told you it was bad)

And I will

• not go to greenwich to watch the football
• do some free (ish) pampering, mani/pedi/bath as I am officially on annual leave now
• line dry my 30 deg washing
• not dwell on bad debt-busting weekend as that's the first time i've slipped off the wagon since last august, and what i've spent this weekend used to be a normal getting-in-debt weekend for myself, so can dust myself off!

Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend too :T

Claire

hope you had a great time at the barbie:beer: If you are going to fall off the dfw wagon at least enjoy it:beer: :beer: . We will let you off with the naughty step

Well, I can't be too smug as we had a BBQ today for lots of people and I forgot to make ice. So I paid £1.92 for 2 bags of ice from Tesco which I felt VERY ashamed about.

Anyway, the good stuff:

-the lady before me at the Tesco recycling bank left without scanning her card so I picked up her clubcard points
-Spent £61 on the weekly shop- not bad at all as that's my danger area. And that included a pair of flip flops and bikini for my hols and 2 pairs of shorts on sale for my son
-Made an excellent pasta salad using a can of mixed beans in vinaigrette-very cheap

Hi guys, had a really non DFW day today (but still better than it would have been a while ago), but we decided to have a NSD yesterday (used nectar points to go to movies - and paid by swiping the nectarcard - how cool) so could go out for lunch today.

Other than that have done:
- surveys
- comps
- updated spreadsheets and quicken
- storecupboard breakfast and lunch

Hmm, thats about it, now gotta go back to watching Germany lose the Euro, Grrr!

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend
Aussie

Evening all,

Never ventured out today so didn't spend any money.

My few DFW things

• wash 1 load on 30 deg quick wash,drying indoors
• packaged up Ebay item sold yesterday
• got 2 bids on Ebay items

That's all I'm afraid.

Today I have:

~ done piggyclicks and lightspeed checks
~ eaten all meals according to mealplan, using stuff already in the house
~ stripped the bargain chicken after roasting and portioned out the meat – it made a roast dinner, and there is enough meat portioned out for 2 days of sandwiches for me to take to work tomorrow and Tuesday, a portion of shredded meat to use in tortilla wraps with salad, a large portion to make into chicken curry (which, depending on what else goes into the curry – veggies, pulses, etc - may yet split into 2 meals for 2 people!) and we are currently boiling the bones for stock in order to make a risotto (and there are some little bits of meat left over which we will add to this). Phew…not bad for one reduced chicken! :j
~ popped to Sainsbury’s Local when we realised that we didn’t have any carrots and needed one for the stock. Obviously arrived at the right time, because I picked up 2 Taste the Difference Garlic and Coriander Naan breads (69p each reduced to 15p, which will go nicely with the chicken curry above…;)) and 2 large Taste the Difference Tarte aux Pommes (reduced to 75p each from £4.39 each!!!:eek:). Have popped the naan breads and one of the tartes straight into the freezer. The other tarte we have had some of for tea (Mr P couldn’t believe his luck!:rotfl:) and will finish up over the next couple of days - its best before date is Tuesday…I think we’ll force ourselves to get through it by then!!:p

Hope you had a great Christmas, Sophiesmum!:xmassign:

Claireabelle – relax…you are on holiday – and at least nowadays you recognise that its not been a good DFW weekend. Like you say, so many of us used to do something similar just because it was a weekend!!! :rolleyes:
