Saving for a new SMILE diary

Well done on the carboot sale but lol at your spending. Perhaps you need to get a job as a personal shopper or something lol

I think i should Yuk - I really am like Becky Bloomwood (shopaholic books/film) - but i don't have hidden debts like she did, everything i buy is from my current account and i have no debt to my name, just savings! So its not all bad lol.

I sorta did okay today - I had to return something to Primark but wouldn't take it back as its been over a month, worth a try i thought, but whilst in there i bought a really nice hoodie for £4.97 (bargain i thought) and also a pair or reduced sunglasses for 75p. So didn't do too badly. Then spent £1.10 in Boots on 2 drinks BOGOF. Unfortuateley OH was working this eve so spent £2.70 in the fish n chip shop whilst over my sisters tonight. All in all a good start to my NS week.

Tomorrow i have promised myself not to spend a penny, same with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Just sorting out my budget then will chill for the evening i think. Fell asleep during the 9/11 documentary last night so OH recorded it for me, the first hour was so sad. I really do feel for the families of the 9/11 victims. You will never ever forget where you were on the day of that tragedy.

Heheh, if it's not on credit cards etc then it's fine. Your money is there to spend as you wish

I've not managed a single NSD this week - I must try harder!!!!I haven't been buying clothes so thats a start, just the usual 'essentials' that always come up! :rolleyes:

Not much planned for the weekend, however I have said to my OH it would be lovely if we went out for the day tomorrow just us, now just trying to think of things to do that are cheap? hmmm. Why does everything cost money! I have some points on brittrips so may just have a look on there.

Currently bidding on a lovely Coast dress on ebay to wear to the wedding in November, bid £35 but only a £1.70 at the moment, not prepared to go over £40. It is a lovely dress though.

Hi Hayley,

You do find some great bargins in Primark! I wish the town i live had a Primark!! The nearest to me is Lakeside or Romford, which i very rarely go to.

What Uni course are you saving for Hun?? Ive only just noticed it in your Sig!

Hey Maria,

Primark have some great bits, soo cheap compared to the other shops i like, Zara, Miss Selfridge, River Island, one top in those shops could buy me a whole basket full in Primark. Its great knowing you can just walk around putting loads in your basket knowing it won't break the bank when you get to the till. Only shop i can do that in lol.

I'm looking at doing Criminology with the OU - have sent off for help with the finance but doubt i will get it.

Yay Friday evening at last, why do Fridays already go sooo slow?!

Anyways, another day i haven't managed a NSD. Wasted £3 on lunch as it wasn't all that, then spent £4.78 in Sainsburys. The shopping would've cost me £12.78 but i had a bag of pennies i wanted to get rid off, so i put them in those coin machines they have and it got me £8 off my shopping.

Still not thought about what to do tomorrow, will chat with OH when he gets home and come up with a plan.

Off to get myself a glass of vino and start dinner.

What a lovely day i've had today with my OH, we decided to go to Rye and it was lovely. He bought us lunch at a really nice posh country pub, and it was just such a nice day. I felt a bit rubbish all day as i am coming down with a cold and couldn't stop sneezing all day, and he's been such a sweetie, which is really nothing new as he's always been a brilliant boyfriend, he puts so much effort into everything being perfect, he truly is the best OH in the world, and the best 5.5 years of my life :happyhear

Just watched Hancock on sky, but i have just headed to bed and left OH watching footie as i am feeling pretty rubbish and just need bed.

Today i have realised i am in need of some new glasses, had my current ones for nearly 2 years, so long down to choice because i can never find any others i like as much as these, so i think after seeing the silly postman pat specsavers advert i think i am going to pop in there next week and get some more, i'll do the 2 for 1 offer and get 2 designer pairs i think. One casual pair and another pair for work. Hopefully won't cost more than £150. I want laser eye surgery but that won't be till March next year i reckon.

Soo many outgoings at the mo, every month it feels like something new crops up and my wages are gone before i know it. At the end of this month half of my wages will go towards paying for the holiday in November. Then Octobers pay will pay for all the new clothes i will need. Then Novembers pay will pay for Christmas :rolleyes:

Today total spends - £8.67 :T
