    Balance June 2015 £26,046 (paid off 32%)

    DMP mutual support thread no 434

    Hello, :wave: I haven't posted much before and I've never done one of these. Money is just running through my fingers like water at the moment so I REALLY need a challenge.

    Is it too late to be added to the thread?

    I want to try 10 NSD in Sept. There's no reason why I can't so ... here goes!
    That money talks - I can't deny,
    I heard it once - it said 'goodbye'!

    No NSD for me today as had to go food shopping...... £165!:eek: :eek: But about £50 can come out of a seperate budget due to me buying myself an sonic toothbrush and some bits for DS (treats/baby budget respectively) but still too much money!:o :mad:

    Had to spend money today (and I hated it ! lol) ..... I needed some winter shoes and had run out of SR flour and a few other bits so popped into town. I didn't buy anything I shouldn't have done though (whereas normally I would !) so am quite pleased with myself :D !

    I have to go to the post office and get some parcels off tomorrow and also need to buy some sellotape (wrapping Xmas pressies :eek: and ran out half way through :mad: ) ........ so will be another spend day for me tomorrow.

    Hopefully Tues and Weds will be NSD's though !
