Oh and Cheryl, I cycled in today!!! :j

Well done :T

The only extra exercise I've had today was the walk down to Mr M to sort out my tortillas this morning, and an extra 3.5 hours at work this afternoon/evening.

Still, I've got a run of 6.15km/3.82miles to look forward to straight after work tomorrow

Congrats on the job TMV :T

I don't have CW18's organisation skills . I must remember that money spent on Debit Cards at the weekend do not get taken until the next working day If I had I would have had an NSD weekend as I would not have spent on the CC on Saturday thinking that as I was spending on DC I was already having a spend day

Are you counting the day it goes out of your bank as the spend day?

I sometimes pay on a debit card, but count the day I use the card/do the shopping as my spend day.......

Well, for the second week in a row I've done a close and clean shift and managed not to spend a penny on Whoopsies :T

Declaring today as NSD #17 (got it right today )


Tomorrow will be a spend day. Getting low on milk, and DS has finished the ice-cream.
Need to check tonight if I can see anything else we need before my next D/Debit goes out on Monday

I thought I would this month to see how it goes. I don't tend to write things down so I was using the day the money came out of the bank so I could remember what I'd spent I then wouldn't be counting the spend twice iyswim (ie once when DC used and again when money came out). Not good I know..........Must try harder!

Ohhhhhh, I'm all confused now. Ok. Next month I will be counting the days I spend only, no cheques are due to be written and I know when DDs and CC payments are due. Online banking also has an option to check what's coming out of bank the next working day so I should do better.................I hope.:D

Got the Job. Start Monday, 2 night shifts, we won't be any better off finacially but its a start to get me back to work and hopefully in the future off of benefits, hope that makes sense.

Well done TMVen,brilliant news, really pleased for you.:j:j

As you say, it's a start for you and may well lead to better things, the best way to get a job is to already be in a job and you can't beat the experience:j
