Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 3rd May

EverTheOptimist

Evening all

What a boring day I've had, tried to sleep this morning after night shift, have been up since midday. :eek: Nice phone call from estate agent this morning with a cr4p offer from last week's viewing. :mad: Note to self buy alarm clock = turn phone off = not being woken up.

Anyways have lazed around in pyjamas all afternoon, so at least a little NSD out of it.

Spend day tomorrow on lunch, bridesmaid dress shopping :j, have seen a nice dress on Debs website, so cross fingers it will fit all bridesmaids - job done!!

Hope everyone is well.

NSD today, very pleased. I nearly went to Tescos this morning to get jam donuts (im pregnant if thats an excuse) but due to lack of time i didnt. Hoping for another NSD tomorrow too!

Quick update - total for the day = 50p for parking and 50p for mints, so that leaves me with £5.81 (I think!).

Will be trying for a NSD tomorrow.

I discovered the change counting machine at HSBC last week (it's great, and potentially addictive!!), so I'm planning to re-bank whatever I don't spend this week and then pay it straight off one of the CCs as an extra PAD. Then I can draw next week's £10 and start fresh again...well, that's the plan, anyway!

NSD here which is not a bad start to the week. Looks like there have been quite a few today well done budgeteers.

lindsaygalaxy when are you due?

ETO when are you getting married?

EverTheOptimist

Hey pp

Getting married in October, we're quite lucky and getting alot paid for by both parents, so we will NOT be getting into debt to pay for it. Have got a lot of things sorted already (say already we only got engaged at Xmas), just having a headache with bridesmaid dresses at mo, may end up changing whole colour scheme. I'll see how successful tomorrow is.

Sorry for that, you only asked when, didnt mean to give life story.

Hope your revision's still going well.

Congratulations :j, glad you are not getting into debt for a wedding I never understand why people do that. I am sure you will have a brilliant day. Good luck with your bridesmaid dresses.

EverTheOptimist

Thanks pp

Not only not getting into debt for the wedding, am desperate to start married life DF. (current DFD set as April 2010 though working on this being by the end of 2009 at least) So thanks to you for continuing to organise this thread and everyone else for the motivation and tips. :A

Morning all,

Spent £11.30 yesterday on essential stuff and have £8.70 left. I need to use some of the money remaining on parking at the hospital this afternoon but don't need to spend any at the market tomorrow as we have enough veg for this week.

Keep going everyone
