    Gahhhh my post just disappeared - *note to self do not highlight anything then press backspace while writing a post - the whole post disappears :mad:*

    Yesterday was a spendy day due to emergency present buying so I bought the spuds I needed too. Only £9.65 left in food budget for the month! :eek:

    Sadly my tooth does have an abcess so I'll be spending £99 odd to have another root canal treatment once I've finished my antibiotics. Gahhhh - oh well that is why I have money set aside for dental treatment in my budget I suppose. Thankfully pretty much no pain unless I poke my gum! :rotfl: (Touch wood! :eek:)

    I'm hoping today will be a NSD but the critical "risk of spending" period is on my way home from work and I haven't left work yet! :p

    Another one for me to-day thank you Spoon, was at a reeeeaaallly booooorrrrring IT course all day, I swear I slept through the middle bit and it never made any difference, who can get excited by spreadsheets??????????

    Anyway, course supplied lunch and I drove home on some fumes, so OH will have to put liquid gold in later, success. Moths are having babies in my purse...............

    Declaring today as NSD #4 :T

    Managed to get out of work without any Whoopsies or general 'almost in dire need of' groceries (but was bought some chocolates by an appreciative customer, so I did bring some munchies home - taking them up to OH's tonight, so I doubt they'll last long :D )

    Off to OH's tonight, so won't be spending anything later on (no chance of a last minute Whoopsie hunt) - hence I can declare now instead of after the store closes at 8pm rolleyes.gif

    Going to try and hold off buying any veg/margarine etc tomorrow - but that depends on the milk situation :eek: Not sure DS will stretch the last 3 pints out until Friday when I'm not here to monitor his kitchen visits tonight :o (He's got through 9 pints since last Friday morning!!!!)

    Hi,

    This isn't a straightforward one, but I want to be on the NSD straight and narrow. Today I did buy chocolate and crisps and a sandwich because I had a really horrible day at work and wanted comforting yummy food, but I did get a free loaf of bread with my newspaper that can be used for breakfasts next week instead of buying any. Can I claim number three with that?


    Plllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeee?:D

    jintyb[/FONT][/B]: :wave:hi - missed you over the last couple of days, glad you’re OK. Oh well, at least the past two days were low spends - much better than a huge blowout
    Got to organise Brighton but we need to make it when BDINI can come along - she definitely needs a crazy night out! Ooh yes, and don’t forget the haggis pakoras - need to get my fix again!;)

    Aww spoon thank u for arranging the entertainment diary around me, how special do i feel now??? :kisses3:

    Very low spend for me today, had to get milk for work (can claim that back tho) & ordered some books off greenmetropolis for my hols, but they came from my selling balance, so not much money from my purse :j

    Am popping out to check on the old bloke round the corner who's not long out of hospital, so will pick him up some bread & milk (wouldn't dream of making him pay me back, but am sure he'll buy me a pint when he's back on his feet!! :beer:) but thats it for tonight & no rubbish or comfort spends so am quite proud of myself :T

    Katenut - welcome back, glad the wedding was so fab, am not sure about the slippery nipple cos i think i stuck to the screaming orgasms... & very tasty they were too!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
