Another new day to add to July: The No Spend Day

Just back from the shops.

Got milk and ice cream from L!dl.

Called into B$M, and picked up two packs of reduced (slightly OOD) asparagus rissotto. Won't be used until DS has moved out in September, but I'm already looking forward to it

And got some bananas from the local greengrocer. Normally 49p/lb, but he does 2lb bags for 59p which are normally only fit for cooking with. However they all looked like they have plenty of life left today, so got one of those. (Part of my increase in f&v count, as I've nearly finished the ones I bought last week - which are also starting to turn so won't last until Monday either way)

So not an NSD for me - but I already knew that was going to be the case.....

Also picked up some chocolate - Crvnchie multi pack (6 for the price of 4) and Fl@ke (7 for 5) - from B$M. These (plus the birthday card for his DS for Monday) are coming out of my excluded social life budget though, as I'm taking them up to OHs at the weekend - turns out we both like these (and Y0rkies, which he says I can't eat 'cos they're "only for men"!)


Need to get lunch and get ready for work now!! Mornings are flying since I upped my exercise regimes Even on the days I'm not in work until 1pm I used to be up by 7am, but am now struggling to get up at 9am


ETA: And having made my butty, I've now realised I also need a cucumber! Must remember to pick one up on my way out of work....

Oh dont envy the youth, Nargle and Cheryl, all I have to look forward to is years living under water due to the polar ice caps melting and retiring when the official age is 102

I can teach you to scuba dive, Nottoobadyet!!

Hello all

been manic so just a quick pop in (I know If filled you in on my weekend spending etc) but I had a NSD yesday and I am keeping my fingers crossed for today.

Tomorrow is big spend day as it is payday so pay everything out and will spend on Saturday but Sunday will be down for a NSD - I am thinking positive!

August is going to be tough - we have a week off work with the Little Loos and on the 1st It is Mr Looloo's birthday...... The little loos are quite good am hoping weather will be good for lots of picnics and not too much spending.

Sorry not had a chance to catch up on everyone's news but hope you all well and send you all my love


Eek did I see we convinced Confused to come on over! woo woo

Hi all, Yesterday was a sort of spendy day, took back a pair of trousers that I'd bought last week and had decided I didn't actually want but I did swap them for a pair of ... wait for this...

a pair of size 16 jeans.

OK OK 16 is not tiny but when you'd been a size 22 at the start of the year it's bl**dy amazing. So I'm going to count it as a nsd as the money had already been spent last week.

Well done moneypenny, that's brilliant, you must be soooo pleased with yourself:j:j:j:j:j
