    Never mind how did you forget that, more to the point is how on earth can you still have easter eggs in the fridge :confused: ?

    Lol I was thinking the same thing.

    I spent £2.80 on a frappe today and 36p on a stamp for a letter to a DCA. Tomorrow should be an nsd though, and most of next week.

    I know what you mean, I was going to wait and go to the post office tomorrow but thought that would mean another spend day so I did it all today.

    Well today I had my first spend day of the month.

    I topped up on groceries £7.81 The groceries werent needed so I guess its deffinatly a spendy spend day :-(

    Hoping I can last out until Tuesday next but i'm not sure as I had a check of the car tyres this morning :eek: and i'm not liking the look of the nearside front tyre. Jeez man.

    And then there was a mention that man cookers AKA BBQ's are half price in Sainsbury's :mad:
    :p
  • Not had a NSD yet this month but have made a chart which is now stuck on my computer with all the days of the month to tick off whenever I have an NSD. Hopefully that will inspire me.

    That and not bringing my purse into work ha ha!!

    slinks on in the early hours of saturday hoping no one will notice ...

    I've ahem spent £243.49 on friday :eek: . Dentist was £165 & that went on my cc, then did a MR.T which came in at £24.00 for clothes (got loads of stuff for DD at silly prices like 75p & £1.50 ) then remembered we were there to buy food so did another £ 57.99 :o .

    Oh no, I just remembered we went to the pub & I spent £5.95 there, so total spend today is £ 249.44 :o

    hangs head in shame & slinks off again ...
