    Thanks PP

    I'm so amazed at myself, although i'm getting to the point where i'm getting obsessive about NSD's. Had another one today. :j

    Hey bigbum, i say creme eggs all year round.

    Hope everyone's having a good week.

    Hi all,

    I managed to spend nothing until today (tues) - although that could have something to do with the lack of shops open.

    I've spent around £16 on groceries and things for my brother today (he got me a lovely big hotel chocolat easter egg so I had to get him something), so I'm left with at least £9 in my purse.

    The rest of the week should be fine. I have no plans, but I'll have to really try not to waste the money on magazines.

    Have a good rest of week everyone (I personally am confused by what day it is after the bank holidays).

    ps - I got some lindt choc mini eggs from B&M Bargains and they are lovely :) (99p) I am a chocaholic.
    Looking forward to the future.

    Well done to everyone so far - ETO you are doing really great with NSDs - you could be in for purple at the end of the week (very special!).
    No spends so far to me - hmmmm maybe I can make it to purple too.

    ooooo purple I had forgotten about that. Good luck anyone near approaching purple.

    My only spend today was a chai tea latte for £1.40 from canteen at work but I had money left on my card from last week so no cash actually spent.

    Beacuse of F_F now thinking I might buy a Euromillions ticket.

    sadsadjenjen did you buy anything exciting?

    babs I have a house full of chocolate that I am trying to eat slowly.
