i'm sure you'll be able to get through this month, i bet if you read back in your diary you'll find a similar situation which you worked hard and got through. You're not afraid of hard work and that will always go in your favour.

Yes - I'll find the money from somewhere I'm sure. Didn't get much done yesterday, had a bit of a nothing evening, found out some stuff that got me a bit down and so just moped about and listened to music... all on spotify though so still no money spent!! Cheered up just before I went to bed and back to feeling positive again today though! I'm heading out after work today - am going to a friends for dinner then out for some drinks... I'll be drinking Soda Water and aiming to make this my 4th NSD!!

Will be spending Friday Night as I'm meeting a friend for dinner, but planning of making the most of this free artsfest for the rest of the weekend - just got to try and get someone else up for going to it with me!!!!

Aw, hope you're ok. As long as you can mope but come out of it you'll be ok! Out tonight and tomorrow will keep you busy at least!

ElizabethJH

Yes - it was a nostalgic mope - wishing that things could go back a year.. but no point looking backwards - I'm a great believer of not even looking forward but concentrating on the here and now and making the most of whatever is happening today!!

Ok so today I have a confession... it hasn't been a NSD - I bartered a pair of shoes down from £30 to £5 in New Look... now they are returnable luckily... and I'm not sure I can justify them - but I guess as I had allowed myself £20 for my entertainment and it's going to have to come out of those funds!! I'll keep the receipt and if I'm desperate I can take them back I guess...

BUT they are lovely

Cool! Can you come shopping with me please?

If its budgetted for - then why not? Everyone needs a little treat as long as it is DFW (which they certainly are!!) and the money is from a budget.

ElizabethJH

I suppose it's ok as it's from the budget!! They're missing a buckle hence the amazing price, easily fixed though with a little sewing!! And if I get my needle and thread out for these then it might encourage me to do the rest as well!!!

ElizabethJH

Woo it's Friday 2 weeks until pay day as well! Checked my balance and nothing unexpected has occurred! Stayed on Soda Water last night - had dinner at my friends - breakfast there and even asked for sandwiches to take to work!! Am spending tonight though as meeting friend for dinner - will keep it to a minimum though!! Also may just have a date tmw To take me to Artsfest - (my lonely I have no-one to take me messages have paid off) but that's dependent if he's here or in London!! Unfortunately boys are one of my weaknesses when it comes to money - especially first dates - my lack of money embarrasses me, so I tend to pretend that I can afford anything!! Am determined to be good though

Ooh, hope it goes well, you never know he might be old-fashioned and insist he pays for everything!

ElizabethJH

Oh I don't think this one will I've been lucky the last few dates I've been on have been total treats and I haven't had to spend a penny.. but this guy is tortured soul musician... in other words broke! Still doesn't mean I can't stick to Soda Water and still not spend anything - we're just going to a free gig that's on
