    Well I'm just rubbish. Forgot my packed lunch today so today will have to be a spend day. Just need one more by sSaturday, but this has been a real eye-opener as to how much I spend (actually no, not how much, but how frequently...)
  • rest of the month has gone out of the window - even down to portion of chips last night :-)
  • I was planning a NSD today, but thought I had better put some diesel in the car or we would run out! so now going to think if I need to spend anything tomorrow and try to do it today and have a NSD tomorrow instead! I only need 2 for my target as I started mid month, but its my sons birthday on Sunday and not sure if I have sorted that out or not! Hopefully i will have NSD on thursday and friday and that will be target sorted!

    Tell you what though, I have only been doing this for a couple of weeks and realised that I spend on to many days! wonder if I'm organised I could limit spend days to 2 a week? Hmmmm! Let you know about that!!!

  • Should be an NSD for me today after all... the mechanic came round to look at the car at lunchtime, but luckily it looks like the problem is with a part that I have already bought, and he can't do anything until Friday, so I won't need to pay him until then anyway :)

    Do need to get some bread, but have a couple of rolls left, and some bagels in the freezer, so will try to make that all last til Friday.... then hopefully will achieve my target for the month :)
