    £1.94 on vitamins, might be a small shop later tonight. but hopefully not that much :D

    pointy ive noticed bringing my lunches has helped me so much with my not spending. You never notice the £3 here and there but it adds up to alot :( darn those tasty sandwich shops. lol
  • 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:confused:. 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.

    £2 on a cheapo vest on Tuesday and £1.24 today on crisps & jaffa cakes whilst 'on the road'. So total for me so far is £3.24.
    Going to hunt in the cupboards for something to make for tomorrows lunch! - must do some grocery shopping soon, haven't managed to get to supermarket for almost 2 weeks, only thing I've run out of desperatley so far is catfood and I 'borrowed' a pack from my folks.

    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. :D

    Hey pipsmum! How is Baby Pip? Are you calling him by his real name yet? :rotfl:

    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!) :T
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
