    NSD!

    I was meant to go to Asda but couldn't be bothered :rotfl:

    I will go tomorrow I think....
  • Please can you put me down for £20 this week as its payday on Wednesday so always spend a bit more in that week, so no point putting myself up for a complete fall. I would normally spend more than that so that is reducing it some.

    Spent £2.20 on lunch today as I was unorganised yesterday to get something ready for today.

    Hello all!

    Total spend last week was £16.74. Ooops! Still, not too bad.

    Limited money this week so my aim to spend is £10 again. Roll on payday!

    Hi guys

    Can I join in??? I'd like to aim for £15 per week.

    I've just done a HUGE online shop and I have a salary scarifice cash card ( money comes from my salary onto my card to buy lunch at work) so food/drink during the day shouldnt be a problem.

    Its the " oooh lets have a pizza tonight" or "ohhh I really need to buy a new DVD"

    NSD again - this time t'other half couldn't be bothered with Asda...:rotfl:
  • a010.gif Kmac_Edin another Scot (I say Scot as I live in Glasgow but I am not really a Scot more of a Londoner who lives here)

    I have updated the list on the first post.

    Hope everyone is getting on well. I spent £10 on dinner out yesterday, boyf paid the rest. So leaves me £20 for the rest of the week.

    Exams are now over so normal service resumed tomorrow (oh no that means work arrgghhh!:eek:) which means hopefully less unexpected spends. That reminds me I better go and rustle up some sort of lunch for tomorrow and try to have a NSD.

    :T F_F for exceeding your NSDs for Jan. I was lurking on your diary yesterday when I couldn't sleep, you make for interesting reading. Well done seems like you have made so much progress (note to self must try harder:rolleyes:)
