Hey all
Another NSD for me, have been running a course today at work and we get free meals, so that's all good.
Being cooked for tonight at a friends so that's good too.
Day off tomorrow, uh oh, gonna have to stay away from the shops!! somehow!
Oh dear pp, well we all need a splurge every now and then, as long as you enjoyed it, nothing worse than spending money and not enjoying the end lt, feels such a waste.
Hope everyone is well.

Hello All
I have a confession to make. I have not been including my newspapers in my spending budgets at all:o, It never crossed my mind to do so, don't ask me why
. So from this week forth I shall be including papers as well (gulp).:o
PP I am glad you enjoyed the film wolverine as I want to see it over the weekend. I also saw a very good review for your swiss horror film in my newspaper, however I am a big chicken so just the music alone gets me going.
The generic hay fever tablets are wonderful
See you all friday.:hello:SadSadJenJen

Morning all!
I had a Weekly Spend NSD yesterday as I only spent budgeted for money on lunch out with colleagues to celebrate a birthday.
I'm aiming for a NSD today as well as I am off work and won't have to go out anywhere. Hopefully.

I would like to declare £8.12 for this week. I will go for £10again next week. Note how my spends are getting closer to the target spend!!
I have been putting whatever I've got left over into a pot and managed to get just over £40 in two months - which I spent on a dress and skirt from the House of Fraser sale (just £23.40 for both of them- bargain!!) and a new handbag. So my leftovers for the next two months will be to pay for a manicure and pedicure the day before I go on holiday. Need to get my spending back down or this won't happen.
This week I bought:
Book for holiday (The Return) £3.96
Woman/Womans Own £1.80
Euromillions syndicate £1.50 (we actually won £5.40 between 16 of us)
Olay face wash 86p (had £5 off voucher from Boots)
Thank you pointypenguin for keeping me on the straight and narrow (just!) :TI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
