    I am right that spending on budgeted necessary things (like transport to work) does not count as spending for the NSD. If 'yes' today was my/ours second day for May. And yesterday was a LSD - just some batteries for a toy.

    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

    LOL.........how can we resist?

    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??????????


    Meeeeeeee!!! You can do schmarvellous things with spreadsheets. You can work out your monthly budget, track spending against budget categories, monitor your account balances, forecast spending, assess the impact of mortgage Over-payments and work out any interest earned on your savings, work out your net worth............and then you can make a graph of EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

    Spreadsheets are good. Spreadsheets are friends.

    I can still come on the night out can't I?
