Hi Everyone

I'm going OK after two days. I eat at work (I work with kids and eat the lunch with them) so after 2 days i am still on zero. i went shopping tonight and spent £30 but this was all groceries and toiletries (some nice little bargains too). I ate a pasta dish and some left over chilli for tea. No extras for me and if I do go out it is to the cinema where I have monthly ticket anyway so it doesn't cost me more whether I go every night or not at all.

Keep up the good work everyone and avoid the chocolates and booze.

Well £30 still intact as I havent had chance to go anywhere to spend.Had food shopping delivered on monday so not needed to 'pop' into the supermarket for anything so no temptation ... yet ! !

Expecting to spend something tommorow as need to get some photocopying done but hoping I can remember not to buy anything else!

2 NSDs fr me but, irritatingly, I was supposed to have a week's holiday, of no spending, and selling stuff on ebay and instead I am having to go into work, so need to put extra petrol in car beyond my budget :mad:. Grrrr... best laid plans and all that

I still have a whole £20 note in my purse!!:j:jIt won't last though...DS1 has just been invited to a party at the weekend, so need to get a pressie/card etc. Plus I need to top up my £1 per day pot...haven't done it since Sunday due to not having any change!

NSD today, but did write a cheque yesterday...so can't count that as a NSD, although it didn't come out of my weekly spends.

Have to wait in tomorrow for a dishwasher repair (paid for already) so won't get the chance to spend anything again:rotfl:

well im not doing very well...on day 3 and ive spent £19.12 of my £20 budget! Ive got work tomorrow and that always results in my seeing a bargain and wanting to buy it, or feeling hungry at dinner time and buying loads of rubbish, so plan is, im gonna take in a sarnie n that and not take my purse with me! might take a book n all cos i always end up buying a paper to read!
Hope everyone else is doing better than me!
