Cor blimey BigMumma, that is a bit of an extreme way to get ur NSDs!! Hope ur feeling back to normal now xx

Thanks EVERYONE--for your concerns; I still feel as though I've been on a bender with Ronnie but I swear I only spoke to the guy at Wobblydum Trouble is the "doctors" keep telling me I've succumbed & prescribing appropriate medication, & none of it works. You'd think, after almost 30yrs, they'd realise if the damned things don't work it ain't depresssion :mad: Sorry, rant over...

....I've had a lot of LSD's with car parking fees etc, my step-dad is very poorly in hospital but he is recovering....

Aw Honey, glad Pops is on the up..I reckon you shouldn't count the car parking in this instance. For me, I'd count it if I were visiting a new mum say, as that is technically not a medical condition. We visit various places for upteen check-ups with multiple patients, & providing I don't spend on anything else, I don't count it as it HAS to be done. Does that make any sense? I'm still a little

OK moneypenny, you asked so:
- do you need (not want, NEED) it?
- do you have anything you can use instead of it?
- if you do get it, will you use it constantly or will it be a novelty that you use for 2 days and then get fed up with it?
- can you afford it, as in not put it on a credit card and end up paying interest on it?

There you go, some food for thought for you.

Hope it helps

I was going to say that too! D'ya think we spend too much time together

Methinks I'd be looking at other things I need first, then maybe consider getting the less important things if & WHEN I've got the job. Does that help any MP? Good Luck to you & everyone else with interviews, applications & impending news, & Congrats to the lucky ones :T It gives us all something to celebrate or strive towards & thankfully, our little community doesn't mind us all having a shair-see in it :kisses3:

Someone mentioned not having ice creams & flizzie plops every day & it got me :think: We only used to have such things as a treat, but now we all think we have to 'treat' ourselves every day. And if we're having all this stuff every day, what do we have for a 'treat'? Suggestions on a postage stamp to:-

Good afternoon everyone!

I've been missing for a week ... I think I had a few too many at Wombledon ... it looks like I borrowed the tardis whilst no one was looking - I've only just got back and I've got a very sore head; however, running through my bank statements it looks like I ended up with a NSD on Wombledon Sunday and another on Wednesday!

(My bank statement and paper trail certainly tell a very strange tale as to where and what I spent my money on on the remaining days !!)

Anyway, so I'm now up to 5 NSDs and have my fingers crossed that I'll get back into money saving ways this weekend!

Hello everyone

Hope you are all well and having a nice weekend. Friday and today were low spend days but these were an evening out (spent £8), and stocking up on comfort food for the next two months -you know an odd choccy bar for storing in the top drawer at work, in case you have an extremely bad day (£5), tomorrow will be a no spend day, so no 3 for me please spoon.

Hi gang

Wondered if you would mind if I joined in?
I dont count money from the food budget or other budgeted spends but include everything else.
Does that sound about right?

:jcw18: If someone stole your energy yesterday, I would hate to think what you’re like with it fully intact.... how do you get so much done in a day, do you ever sleep?

:rotfl: yes I do..... and a lot more now than I did even a month ago - for which I blame the extra outdoors exercise

Think OH is starting to suspect something is 'going on' (so may have to confess to the running pretty soon), as I'm normally ready for up by 7am at the latest when I stop over. But it was 10am before I surfaced yesterday, and 9:30am today

Good to see you here Beanie it's however you work it really hun, I'm trying to count a day that I spend anything as a spend day but that's helping me to get organised, I'm not counting direct debit days yet 'cos I'm not that organised :embarasse But I am a lot more organised than I have been before thanks to the peeps on here

I have had my spend day today getting the money for the baccy and also paid a bit more off my 100 day challenge card so I am hoping for no more spending until Tuesday

See you all later :hello:
