    Morning all!

    I'm going for another NSD with the exception of my lunch which will be reclaimed from work and so doesn't count :D

    Happy Hump Day everyone!
  • I went for lunch yesterday but my friend paid so only spend was £1 on my card for the vending machine at work.

    I will be buying lunch today as didn't get around to making something last night.

    ladymay good luck for the play what are you doing?

    F_F hope you spot does not try and take over the world.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • I'm a little over budget so far - but not too bad - spent 77p yesterday & £2.36 today, along with the £2.84 on Monday.

    Total so far - £5.97. Only got £2.03 to spend to be under target - but hopefully will still come in on the nose !

  • Bit of a bad day today. spent £1.47 on drink and crisps which I could have done without buying, but did bring in lunch which cost me about 40p to make. feeling very down today as been confirmed today that I will be having a pay cut of £1k a year and my overheads are already more than my salary before the cut. Saving grace is that there is no redundancies in my department.
    MAY NSD's

    PP - the one next week is a play by a French playwright called Jean Genet, the play's called 'The Balcony'.

    May have to buy some wing giving beverages - I'm flagging and it's only lunch time! If I get some fruit salad as well though I've decided I can stick it under my grocery budget ;)

    NSD here I come!

    Edited to say (((hugs))) to Sazzledazzle - I'm sorry hun.

  • Hey guys~

    One of my friends told me that if you have a spot, you should put toothpaste on it... if that helps? xD;

    My NSW is going well! Thanks to Dad. Yay! I miss home though, mostly because I was just getting into Left 4 Dead and Final Fantasy 7 AND before I left there were a load of things I wanted to get ebayed which will have to wait until Friday night/Saturday.

    Keep up the good work guys!

    I was thinking the same thing. It's meant to dry it out I think. However, if it doesn't work, at least you'll have a minty smelling chin! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Having a NSD today, and manically cleaning everything with Stardrops. So far I've done the kitchen cupboards, the microwave, the oven (not so good there... or maybe my oven is just too dirty :rolleyes: ), the hob, the fridge and the sink. I'm about to blitz the bathroom next. - WITH my Stardrops! :rotfl:

    I have £8 in my purse, and I'd like to have at least £5 to put in my tin at the end of the week. Will it be possible? Yeah, I think so! :j
    Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
    Overdraft - £2668 :eek:- to be cleared by February 2010

    Toothpaste seemed to do the trick. It's still massive and blotchy, but not as pointy :D Maybe by Monday I will look normal (For me!) again...

    Another NSD for me today hopefully, just a reclaimable lunch to buy.

    One more sleep till Friday folks :j
