Good morning everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:
Wasn't around much yesterday, and didn't see a thread for yesterday
, so I though I'd best make sure that we had one today. :rolleyes:
Couldn't be simpler, just post your 'daily spends' whether large, small, budgeted or unbudgeted, and 'watch' your spending habits improve:
Usual, and only, rule - from the thread's founder 'moozie':

Hi, I haven't done this before but like the idea! I've spent £8 on the car park as i was late! But at least i've bought lunch with me so won't be buying that. Tink xDebt to clear: feels endless...
Weight loss to go: 42lb/13.5lb
Maybe someday i'll be skinny, organised and debt free..

MOrning Rog - I couldn't find a thread yesterday and should have set one up - didn't want to step on anyone's toes though.
Yesterday - £6.09 essential groceries (Bread and ham for sandwiches, also butter as will need some next week and it was on offer), semi essential - smoothie (on offer and I have to get my five a day somehow!) and non essnetial - I couldn't resist 2 iced fingers with jamd and cream for 49 pence!.
Today, I have brought in the NoTW voucher so that I can do a Tesco shop for storecupboard bits - beans, tomatoes, passata, pasta, rice, wine, chocolate... whoops maybe not the wine and chocolate! I will try to work out how to use the calculator on my mobile so that I spend just the £30! Also need petrol - £70 ish.
Have agood day all.0 -
No spend day today, as have no cash at all until tomorrow.......
I don't usually post on here but will do from now on...
Starting with a NSD is a good thing, right??I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
wine, chocolate... whoops maybe not the wine and chocolate!

Hello all.
A NSD for me today, biked into work this morning need petrol but can run on fumes for another day at least. I'm at a market research tonight so will get paid £35 for that so that’s my petrol and some other bits bought and my budgeted amounts for petrol etc can just be put as extra against my credit card, so smiles all round.
Got lunch in the drawer from home hubby made dinner last night and made us both lunch so another saving.
Was at the gym last night and I ache a little today, got a bargain too if I go every week for 8 weeks I get a free months membership. That’s another incentive to go, I'm really enjoying it too, just need more Market research evenings to pay for it.
Anyway, keep it up guys remember a no spend day is a happy day.0 -

In that case, free, I'm truly sorry that I missed it.
Edit: Have just found the thread that you started, free. I 'missed' it because you started it at 7 o'clock, and I'm not very often allowed out in the evenings. :rolleyes: :rotfl:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser.

MOrning Rog - I couldn't find a thread yesterday and should have set one up - didn't want to step on anyone's toes though.
Peb - you would not have been 'stepping on anyone's toes'.
The beauty, and one of the main strengths, of this thread is that it has no 'ownership', as such.
When 'Moozie' started the thread, all those years ago:rolleyes: , she openly stated that she would not be able to run it everyday, and she openly welcomed the help that she got from a few of the regulars, in particular from Posting Always Posting (PaP) who kept the thread going, long after 'moozie' moved away from the board.
PaP, also, finds it difficult to juggle her full-time job with 'managing this thread' and has been quite happy for anyone to start it, if she is not about, and normally there is no shortage of people, such as Kizzy, free and mickey mouse, who are only too happy to start it. I have been 'doing it' for the last couple of weeks, because kizzy was on holiday, and had other problems:
What we, generally, do is wait until about 10 o'clock - if PaP hasn't started the thread by then, please feel free to 'start it'.
The only thing we would ask is that you retain the title; 'PaP/Moozies What have you spent/what will you spend' followed by the date. This not only reminds posters of all of the hard work of PaP and Moozie in keeping the thread together, but avoids anyone from unintentionally starting up the thread again, or, as I did yesterday, from missing it altogether.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
