    I'm also aiming for a NSD - my trip to the pub comes out of my entertainment budget, which is still looking quite healthy! If I go to the cinema afterwards then it's free as I have a cinema pass, and t'other half gets in for nothing with 2for1 Orange goodness :D

    I'll pop in later and let you know if I made it 4 NSDs in a row :rotfl:
  • Spent 80p yesterday and 60p today but that should be it. Tomorrow aiming for a NSD.
    MAY NSD's

  • So far spent £4.97. Boyf took me out for dinner last night, a very MSE meal out though!! We used the £10 voucher for starter, main and a wine at Pizza Express each! Very good and we were stuffed, all for £20!! And on the way home I bought a bottle of wine as we didn't fancy paying £15 in the restaurant for one!

    Staying in doing uni work today so not planning on spending anything today.

    Hi All,

    I was hoping to have another nsd today but I've just given my friend 50p to get me a kitkat whilst she's off out slipping and sliding down the road.

    Other than that I don't plan on spending anything else. I brought my packed lunch into work today and have enough to see me through the week.
