    Evening all

    Welcome Jomilne I have added you to the first post.

    I have only spent £1.50 on the bus to work today as I walked home, suddenly it is sunny here.

    All this talk of teacakes is making me hungry I think I have some crumpets lurking in the freezer, that will have to do. Please don't get me started on the ice-cream I am practically drooling on the keyboard.

    miniscule_mule good luck with possible winning some money. I run the bonusball at work and in over a year I have never won :mad:

    dizzydebs what did you see at the zoo? Were there penguins? They are my favourite, I also like the monkeys and chimps.:D

  • Evening!

    All this talk of teacakes - I'm not sure I will be able to resist!

    It's my first week trying this challenge and it's proving great at keeping me focused...

    Yesterday I spent £2.50 on lunch then met a friend after work (I'd already budgeted for that so I'm not counting it)

    Super-chuffed with today though. Made some Soup on Sunday and took it into work today in a flask for lunch. To top it off... a colleague had made scones so I had a scone and jam and cream... for free. What lovely colleagues! So today has been a NSD for me.

    Now eating a HM pizza for my dinner.

    And had I not joined you people and your challenge i wouldn't have thought ahead etc so many thanks to you all!

    Ooh this pizza is yummy...

    So I'm currently £15/£2.50

    Going good!:rotfl:

  • So far so good, I'm within my budget! Really happy, it feels great. My lovely housemate just supplied me with a slab of cheesecake so that was a lovely unexpected treat. Yum. Sorry, I'm adding to the teacakes, ice cream style temptations. xx

    :rotfl:This thread has descended into food temptation heaven (sorry I may have started it). New joiners its not normally like this - we sound like a bunch of food maniacs!:rotfl:

    (however I have just enjoyed a bowl of strawberries out my veg garden- yummy and free)

  • Gah!!

    Just packed my bag for work and OH reminded me about the stash of flapjacks I'd made on Sunday!

    Happy, happy bunny

    Hope you all have a successful DFW day

    £30 still intact, the weather here is dreadful, we are not leaving the house so another NSD. Toasted teacakes sound just the thing, but I am staying put inside where it is warm and dry. Planning a NSD tomorrow. Good luck everyone with the rest of the week.
