Am really disappointed as didn't get paid any of the overtime I was expecting so I am going to have to leave paying off debt balances till the end of Oct.. I can't believe that I am looking forward to getting paid so that I can pay debt off with.. does that make me weird??

Nope, not weird - just means you've been spending too long on this site, along with the rest of us :rotfl:

Just been to the pub to pay the deposit for the reception and got a free glass of wine :j so my spends are still perfectly(ish) intact!!

Another NSD for me as well, got £10 in my purse and I'm going to make it last as long as possible!

Am going to try for another NSD today..

Having said that I have been asked out for drinks tmrw night so I have a funny feeling I am going to spend my money then but as long as I am within my limit, that's ok. :rotfl:

Hope you all have a good day.

Hey guys im gonna join this week! Payday today so gonna start from now, ill have half the budget (usually gonna be £15 so i guess i had better half that to 7.50)

Been making sandwiches for the past couple of weeks to prepare for when i started this challenge so should be ok, although my weekly magazines come out tomorrow and they come to 2.40 and im going to the pub tonight so will have to limit to one small coke and make it last!!

:hello: Hey guys!

I spent a whole 90p today in Morrison's on onions, carrots and baby spuds (only 30p each a bag - bargin!) that will probably last me at least 2 week :j!! Down to £6.71 for the rest of the week but its Wednesday so thats ok!

Another NSD today and my £15.00 is still intact. Unfortunately it won't be tmrw as I am heading out for drinks but I am going to desperately try and stay within my limit. Funny thing is before my "LBM" I would have thought nothing of spending 6 or 7 times that amount on a night out - just to be seen to be doing "the in thing"..

Not any more..;)

I am completely addicted, it's crazy.. I wish I had been like this a few years ago.. would have saved a small fortune by now.

Weddings are lovely though huge moneypits.. Have you managed to do it in a debt-free way or are you pushing the boat out a bit? Hope you don't mind me asking but love weddings and all the planning..

You could try reading them online. That's what I do except for a Sunday every now and then..

Evening budgeteers,

I went to the pub after work yesterday and bought some things to supplement my lunch. All this means I am about £22 lighter as I have £17 left of my budget to do me until Friday.
