Yeh it is weird, but I guess shall have to get used to it!! We're fine if we dont say much to each other haha! And thank you! Altho there was no chance of a NSD this weekend..


SATURDAY
Shop - bread, milk, newspaper - £2.27
Shop - drinks - £2.35
Club - £10 [ish ]
Total Spend: £14.62

I think thats pretty good for a saturday! Did plan on taking DS to the indoor play centre but thought since was such a beaut day took him to the park and said we've save the play centre for a not so nice day, so saved lots of money by doing that!! Ex OH babysat while I went down the local club for a few drinks with a friend, was actually really good night n was so much cheaper to be local [no taxis] n paying 'working mens club' type prices rather than going into town or whatever.

SUNDAY
Shop - newspaper, chocolate for DS - £1.40
Total Spend: £1.40

Went for dinner at my Mums today as DS was with his dad for the afternoon

So, altogether last week spent £155.52 [if I added it up right lol] and had 3 NSDs!!
Goal this week is to try and beat that, and go for as many NSDs as I can!

Hiya - well done on keeping up the spending diary! i keep trying to start butthen stop straight away!

haveu thought about posting on the "what have you spent today" thread - think it is on dfw board. Be more motivating as more people on there!

good luck

Hey,

Good luck with your journal. I'll keep popping on to cheer you on! It's really hard to keep your thread alive and kicking on this part of the site. It's best to go to DFW for challenges, chatting ect. But I stick to this part for my journal because I'm not in debt!

I think I might start writing my spends down like this as well (sure I can find a notepad at home) I just guess at what I've spent and i'm normally pretty far out!! Been meaning to do it for awhile, thanks for a kick up the bum
