42p on a bar of chocolate from the SU shop to stop me raiding the vending machine during my hour long wait for the next bus, which brings my total up to £13.65. Knackered my NSD, but I'll just have to have one tomorrow instead.

Spent £3.09 on shopping today.

Also £17.95 on dry cleaning :eek: (but still cheaper than buying or hiring a suit - OH borrowed it off a friend, but needs cleaning before we can give it back!)

Got exciting stuff to save for now, so really need to cut back as much as possible.

:wave: welcome Lemon Tree I have added you to the first post.

Raychee tell us, what exciting things do you have to save for? Also I never know why dry cleaning is so expensive what do they actually do to the clothes to make it cost so much?

It would have been a NSD for me today if my work colleagvues had not convinced me to bet £1 on a horse race because it is some sort of festival. Well as they say betting is for mugs so I am down a £1 as the horse came 4th and I ruined my NSD. Oh well, at least it has got me thinking about matched betting again think I might go back and do some afer essays are done and dusted. I know tomorrow cannot be a NSD as I need to buy wine to take to bookgroup but that should be my only puchase tomorrow.

Hope the week is going well for the rest of the budgeteers.

Oops again - My budget has been almost used up again! In fact, whatever's left in my purse (probably about 60p - I'm scared to look) will go into my savings pot.

I bought a lovely belt though in the sales, which I needed, and I bought a few groceries (and managed not to buy the Cadburys Wispa which was soooo inticing at the till) - so I didn't really waste any money.

I'll be having a very frugal rest of week. Hope everyone's doing better than me.

I've lost track of what I've spent this week, but I'm over already by a fair bit!

Feeling incredibly disorganised at the moment so trying to sort that out today. Between lack of sleep, daily rehearsals, work and trying to keep up with my studying I've been spending because I'm never home to eat or anything. And the more I worry about money, the more I worry - what's that about???

So, I'm going to get back on it on Saturday - I feel really bad for you PP, you make the effort to continue this thread and I'm faffing about and failing every week - sorry

I spent today £1.20 on a hot chocolate and 55p on can of fizzy drink, plus have dance class tonight so goimg to be very close to budget. Going to have to be NSD for the rest of the week.

Ooh, please can I play? I'm brand shiny new but love a challenge!

I reckon I could live on £20 for a week.

Can I try?

Also, does NSD mean 'No Spend Day'? And how do you get those debt counter things at the bottom of your posts?

I have so much to learn!
