    OK - I'm back and I'm going to go for £0 again. I'm aiming for 15 NSDs on the trot! It is going to be a LOT harder this week, as we are getting very low on some things (especially toilet rolls! :eek:) but this challenge really concentrated my mind last week.

    It would be so good if I could get to within a week of payday and still have £8.91 left of my budget. Here goes!

    F_F how was your trip?
    We lost the footie *sob* but should have had at least a draw due to some sh*tty refereeing (A goal was disallowed but there was nothing wrong with it!)

    Other than that we had a lovely day :D

    Ooh, it's been quiet on here, have we all been having NSDs? :rotfl:

    I have had two (Hurrah!) as the only things I have bought have been from the groceries budget. This means I have spent the cash in my wallet and replaced it by an online transfer, which has gone straight to my PAD account.

    I may have to spend today if I can't womble a voucher for Morrisons from someone at works copy of the Sun. Otherwise I should be NSD again today :j

    Morning all,

    NSD for me yesterday (at last!), today technically will be as I have to post two Ebay items but I can cover that from MS - it's hard to explain but I will actually be better off lol!

    Fingers crossed!

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

  • I only just got in on budget last week, bang on £50. :o So I'm really tightening up now. I'm having £30 this week and I refuse to go over.

    Hello Budgeteers

    I did finish last week on £15.58 putting 42p in my loose change pot so can I be green please.

    Sunday I spent £6.79 in home bagains & wilkos and yesterday was a NSD.

    Thank goodness I don't include Saturday in this challenge - I went a bit crazy in the shops and spent over £100 on makeup:eek::eek:.

    Looking for a lot of NSDs for the rest of the month to atone for it!
