Hi Primula,
ThanksDunno if I can be classed as inspiration though
Done the scratchies, won some points on BP
Done the washing
Bread and cake in the oven
Still can't decide which room to tackle first, hmmm difficult one that. Time to pick randomly... and today's winner is.. tada... the living room, ah well good luck to me then :rotfl:0 -
Yay, fairly windy today so washing dry in no time :T
Freshly baked stuff out of oven, my flat smells lovely nowand no, haven't started sorting out the living room yet, going to go to the gym first
, then stop off at Waitrose to get the free pack of kebabs they sent me a voucher for (not taking any money with me, so I can't buy anything else while I'm there!)

Still couldn't quite face attacking the mess in the living room, so I've done the bedroom instead (as there is less to do in the first place :rotfl:) Also got the perfect excuse not to tackle it this weekend: I won't be in, I'm off to see some friends out in the countryside-ish. The downside is that I had to put some petrol in the car and am now left with £24 which means I have a maximum allowed spend of £10 on the unavoidable pub meal and drinks.0

That was even better than I managed and I was supposed to be having 2 NSDsI like the scratchies and now have my GF doing them. It's normally only £0.20, but I can remember the wonderful day that I won £5! We try to treat it like loose change, with the eventual tenners being shoved in our Christmas jar.

Do you think I can get the cats to do the scratchies
. Only won £5 once, would be nice if it was more often!

Right, have decided that instead of counting NS days, I'm going to do it the other way round and count spend days
. Only 1 allowed this week, to get fresh fruits, veg and some eggs.
