    More snow = stay indoors & work from home = no spending. Yay!
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
  • Was planning a NSD but stopped for Lucazade etc on way to work and now am angry with myself as that is £1.29 that I could have done with not spending.
    MAY NSD's

    Took me an hour and a half to get to work this morning. Got nearly all the way there and then thought... I'll be really cross if they've closed the school and not told me. But the school was open. :)

    PP - am enjoying the time on my own. :) I finally have OH well trained, and he calls me when he's away. (It took years to convince him that calling every day was an ok thing to do!) Last night I was in bed by 9pm - I wouldn't do that when he was around - unless... ;)

    Another NSD for me. :j (I'm on a triple!) Decided not to go to the pub tonight. That way I get an extra day out of my petrol tank, I don't need to worry about getting home if it snows again (the pub I'd be going to is 8 miles away), I can have a loooooong bath, and I don't need to spend any money! :)

    It's a quintuple (Is that a word??) NSD for February for me :j

    As my week started on Saturday for the purposes of this challenge, it's 6 NSDs. Thanks Crunchie it's Friday tomorrow and I can spend on Saturday!

    All the money I haven't spent this week is going to pay for my train ticket to see my friend and for my haircut, so woo!

    NSD for me today - the snow is so good for not spending money - I just want to get home as soon as possible so I bypass the shops :beer: The canteen at uni is still my downfall (I drink enough tea to keep several tea companies in business!)
