Thanks Pointy, I'm straight back on it tomorrow. I won't let one bad day keep me down. I want a house more than I want to smoke! :j

And thanks LondonWelshcake too (you must have posted as I typed)! xx

Morning budgeteers,

It is finally hump-day on what seems like the longest week of the year:j
London Welshcake well done on keeping on budget.:beer:
Kate_Pixie good luck today with giving up the smokes.:T

I am hoping for a NSD/LSD today as I have got lunch from the freezer and don't need to buy anything else.:D

Well going well so far. This cold weather is good for not spending.

NSDs Mon & Tues and not likely to go anywhere today (practically snowed in).

Have a good week all

On track for a NSD today as I brought in a flapjack, soup in a flask along with a home made roll into work (10 points to the folks on the OS boards, they have some amazing ideas and recipes)

Off for my Christmas suprise tonight that's all paid for... so definitely on track for this weekk : )

Yay!

Hump day - I like that phrase! I haven't come across it before, but have finally worked it out!

As for the mixed reviews on Sherlock Holmes, at least with that lil' seed of doubt in my mind, I now might wait until it comes out on DVD/TV, so saving me spending at the cinema!

Have a good rest of the week everyone - at least it's easier now we're going down the hump!

managed a NSD today.
Even though opened a late xmas card with a suprise £30 things are so tight this month i'm saving that for next weeks budget.

Well done all, kate_pixie - I hope you got back on track, if not don't beat yourself up, you'll get there!

Am not doing too well, have spent 5.48 so far & it's only wednesday ( my budget was £3.50). My £5.48 would have lasted me till end of Friday as I ws supposed to be on a works trip, fully expensed for next 2 days, but it has now been cancelled, so will probably spend another couple of pounds on Thurs & Fri, but I will still come in under £8.00, which will be over budget, but brilliant for me. I will think a bit harder for next week's budget to really try & get an amount that challenges me, but is still achievable.
