Hmm, Persil, fairy liquid, shower gel or bubble bath.......
I need never buy shampoo again!

Today my hair is...... tied up!

I might struggle for a NSD today because I'm finally going to pay off the remaining £160 of my Halifax overdraft and will [STRIKE]need [/STRIKE]want to celebrate with a bottle of wine and chocolate.

Now I have discovered a possible way round this. My OH has left five £ coins on his bedside cabinet and I feel that he would want me to buy the wine with it to celebrate with me . It would be the supportive thing to do, right? :rotfl:

well im still stuck, need to go out and get some little things like toiletries for my holiberries after work altho it shouldn't come to much. Tomorow i have a mystery shop and need to pick up my prescription which i have to pay for, do you think this counts as i actually need to get this and budget for it?

Well..yesterday wasn't a NSD for me, I knew I had to buy milk, bread and "stuff".......ending up spending around £50 - nearly half of it on theatre tickets for me and DD, and the rest on food - everything was either a whoopsie bargain or something we need for holiday, so I shouldn't be too despondent.

But, what I did notice was that I sat at my desk *craving* a diet coke at 50p from the machine, but then rationalising that if I held out til lunchtime, I could get 3 for £1.....however, at lunchtime I forgot all about it, so showed I didn't really need it, water was fine. I just had the urge to spend because I had the means to do so in my bag.

Am at home today packing for hols, so hopefully won't spend....although DD has asked to go for a swim later.....will try and distract her with the promise of making gingerbread men

After expecting to spend on chocolate today, I am very pleased to report that at almost home time I have not spent anything!!

So now I need to try and drag that out for the rest of the evening so I can record another NSD!

I have to take the kids to karate and then skiing, so the lure of the coffee shop while I am waiting will be difficult to resist. But I will give it a go!

I know tomorrow won't be a NSD as I have grocery shopping on order and a mystery shop to do which requires "spends" so if I can sneak a bonus one in today, all well and good!

Oh well today could have been a NSD for me today but my friend asked me to get her something from the shop on my way to hers and I forgot to get the money off her when I got there! It seems a shame to ruin a NSD just for £1.06 so I feel like spending more now haha I won;t tho!!

As I'm not planning on going out this eve I will record this as another no spend day! - hopefully this will force me to stay in!
