    Morning all,

    I forgot to update yesterday & have a cheeky £6.70 to declare - top ups of bread & milk & gave in to the fries this week too :o .

    It's a NSD for me today but tomorrow I'm out for pub supper so with only £23.30 left I'll be having soup & water I think :rolleyes:

    keep it up guys :D

  • Today should be a NSD for me, third so far this week then. I'm going out for dinner on Friday night (£6 for a MASSIVE plate of noodles!) and a few drinks so trying to keep the money for then!!

    So far I have spent £5.40 on two pairs of gloves in the Accessorize/Monsoon sale. One is for SILs birthday (£3!) and the others are for me (£2.40 from £12.50!)

    I'm off out tonight as well, but will confess on here when I come home!

    I spent £15+ on essentials, so they are not out of this budget (thank goodness!)

    To be honest, I went to the shop for butter and bananas, and was having such a pants days I just thought 'f-it' and stocked up on the stuff I'd normally leave to the weekend... so, again it will come off next week's shop (like the chicken I bought, because defrosting it this evening would be too much hassle...)

    Anyways, I'm waffling... as usual.
    Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
    Overdraft - £2668 :eek:- to be cleared by February 2010

  • Didn't manage a NSD today! Managed to spend £3.55. 55p on white chocolate fish n chips for BF who is feeling poorly and £3 in poundland on mutipack crisps for uni (save spending 70p!! extortionate price for just a packet of Walkers, not even big eat!!) Preparation for future NSDs I like to think!!

    Right:
    • £5.40 on gloves as above
    • £5.99 on foundation from Ebay (I love mine, but it's been discontinued and I ran out this morning)
    • £1.55 milk/bread
    I also spent £10.10 on dinner tonight, but this is budgeted for under my Entertainment money, so not included in this.

    Total today £12.94....I'm just over £20 in spends for this challenge this week and should stay within budget by Friday - yay!
  • Wow this week is going quickly can't believe it is Thursday tomorrow.

    Ok this evening I spent £7 (should have been £12 but I got student discount) theatre ticket which was budgeted for but I am £5 up so think that might go for PAD. I also spent £2 on drinks at the theatre. No other spends for me today.
    :j

    F_F seems like you have been bargainous with your gloves. I never have more than one pair or I will never find them.

    Raychee don't worry we all have days where we think f-it and at least you bought essentials.

    sazzledazzle what is a lottery collection round? Did you win the £10? (Sorry I am nosey!:o)

    **purpleprincess** well done on the NSDs you are really racking them up.

    Ladymay where did you get a themos so cheaply? Does it work well? I always think the cheap ones will leak.

  • Should have been a spend day today as I needed cotton wool pads but as I was going to tesco Mum asked me to get something nice for dessert and unfortunately she only had a £20 so she ended up paying for my cotton wool and diet coke! :D
    Just keep swimming
