    How did your list go, Tink?

    Looking forward to a new, fresh, MS week! Only £3 of this weeks budget left, when am I gonna learn?! So attempting a NSW which I think will be pretty easily done. fingers crossed.

    Got past payout point on STP last night, so will attempt another 20 or so tracks of that tonight before tea. Want to do a dooyoo review today aswell - also got 25p on todays scratchie!

    Alright, last week I spent about £28. I managed to pay my board practically free - using musicmagpie cheques ect.

    Rang up the bank and I have £490 in :j most I've ever had in there, so when my savings account opens that's about £350 I can easily move over. This £30 budget is working a treat!

    Spent over my £30 budget already this week. Spent £10 on cat food (will last them a good month though) £10 on OH mothers birthday present then £22 (i know, alot!) on foundation and foundation base.

    Although I did manage to get my lunch on Friday for free (boots points) returned my £50 camera I got last week, got a £15 amazon voucher, and did technically save £13 on future MIL's present.

    Oh dear. Have seriously fallen off the moneysaving bandwagon :( I haven't been on MSE for weeks.

    Had a NSD today though!

    Hey Nicki! :hello: Well done on the NSD, I haven't been on my thread in ages, moved over to DFW!

    Well my savings account is finally up and running, grand total of £682 now. My goal is in my sig, will be boosted up in April. I should get back to posting on here, to clear my head more than anything!
