Time to get this started

Lovely Tuesday

Here I am like a lady of leisure lying in bed with my laptop :j. Stops me spending though :cool:

So my NSD yesterday didnt go quite to plan, spent £25.50 on juice and train fares. The train is for a weekend away in October so was quite cheap really. Still feel a bit guilty about it though but we all need out treats :A

Have taken some inspiration from ShoeGal and going to make daily lists (well I'll do one today and see if it works)

• Tidy house
• Do washing
• Dye hair (self) :eek:
• Try to eat healthily

Aiming for a low spend day today, going ice skating later but its a freebie . Just need the bus fare into town and to avoid buying food there.

Now going to have a look at jobs...again!

hiya hun just reading through other posts! - could you make up a flask and take to work as out of principle i wouldn't spend 10p on hot water!!!

You are getting there and it is hard when you want to treat yourself to nice things (which is why i am broke!) - i'm putting all my £1/2 in a jar for new york spends and my £50ps for a new coat for new york in another - they are ones that need opening with a can opener so no idea how much i will end up with but so far i knowi have £18 in the £1 jar and £8 in the coat jar so hopefully by end of november i will have new coat and nice bit of money for fab treat meal in NY!!

Yep I think I have to get a flask, its just sooo annoying and greedy, were there for over 12 hours!!!

Anyway I've started putting £1 coins away too but it can be easily opened so I think I'd better invest in one of those cans! I've got a lil holiday in October so it would go towards that

Thank You, sooo jealous youre going to NY, I'd love to go!

Ohhhh

There was a dress I LOVED a few weeks ago but wasnt prepared to pay the £90 price tag.

It's now £25 in the sale, this is killing me. How can I resist it????

Put it through the demotivator? It's really going to cost you £25 plus your highest interest rate debt. :eek: It also depends how often you see a dress you love: if it's several times a year you will get over it, if it's once every three years buy it.

What good advice :A Unfortunately I see things I love nearly every day :rotfl::rotfl:

Well I didnt buy the dress although it is a pretty classic lbd so I might invest for the xmas party season!

Ice skating was fun!!! Although I bought a burger and drink arrghhhh what a waste! It was rotten as well!

Today have spent:

Train fare - £2.60 (essential)
Drink - 69p (silly)
Scratchcard - £1 ( very silly and unessential and a loser)

Shoegal just noticed youve lost another 2lb! Woohoo well done:j
Better pop over and catch up with your diary

nicnacnoo

just been ready your thread, you mentioned that you over estimated some fifures on your SOA, why not do an updated one, plus with the lower energy bills it's bound to look better, i would deffo take coffee in a flask, maybe 2, if you like you love your coffee, its alright to drink cold as well yum!

Well done on not buying the dress (yet) hopefully it'll go down again in the sale!

Have you made a to do list for today?
Have a great day, Nic

Hiya :hello:

Thank-You for dropping by . My Dad has given me one of his flasks, he tells me 'it's a good one that is' I'm going to do an SOA for myself first as have to try make sense of the costs that are maybe every 2-3 months rather than every month.

Have applied for a few jobs and going to phone about a potential second job in an hour . Would make life a lot easier.

Also thinking of doing up and renting my spare room, it's really going to waste as a room to dry clothes!
