    NSD 8 today and taking no money to work went well to get there as no money to spend!

    Will do the same tomorrow to get another one in

    Well tonight is study night to aim to finish the chapter in my study book and feel like I'm getting somewhere at last even if it is just the basic starting point

    Excited bout holibobs in a few months

    Camping shop has a 15% offer on Thurs and just deciding if its worth going or not and what combo of products to get. Then in a few more weeks has an offer on the stove I was after for another £3 off for £6.99 so could get 2 and gas for £22 all in

    So can get a powered cool box with 15% off and a kettle and pan set for less than I thought - just need to see if I have enough cash to get them with and then buy the water carrier, stove and maybe kettle later in the month which are all lower priced items. Means comes in less than amaz*n are charging atm

    NSD 9 today 9/15 6 more to get until 30th and aiming for another 2 more at least this week and quite a few next week as have nearly run out of money. Has been quite an expensive month with lots of payments going out left right and centre

    Anyway my easter eggs arrived today all safe and sound and well worth the half price from thorntons offer. All iced up and named apart from mine! My 3 dressess arrived and 2 are going back as 1 looks rubbish, the other looks ok for £27 and the one that looks the best I'm now thinking will I wear it? Is it worth the money? I could send them all back I think

    Will have a think and send 2 back and decide on the one I like

    Did splash out on 2 new pairs of birkis for £16 + £19 which are bargain prices + thats my new ones bought for this year. I always buy a new pair and wear them so much they are hammered and then turn into garden shoes. New ones are pink floral thin straps and a metallic pink pair :D

    Need to be strict with myself for the rest of the month otherwise won't have any money left for petrol

    NSD 11 - a unbelievable 5 in a row achieved!

    4 more to get for the target and plenty of days to go (apart from a couple next week!)

    Also means I haven't spend a penny out of the GC Budget meaning I still have £25 left to last the week ahead - will get there no probs now

    What else, a rather fabulous 11 days off work now - yeah! Looking forward to this weekend. Walking, gardening, pottering, baking, exercising - bliss :D

    NSD 12 today - 6 in a row!

    Come on, what a result!

    Anyway went out for the day today - for a 7.5 mile walk in the Peaks. Glorious day and I nearly talked myself out of going then gave myself a stern talking to, to make myself go and glad I did. Good job I got there early as it was manic by lunchtime when I finished.

    Called back to see mum and drop off Easter eggs and she kindly bought me some flowers for Easter 6 strawb plants reduced to £2.98 (half price) and 2 cornflake easter buns which I demolished with a cup of tea when I got home!

    Managed to not to spend anything at all today and just deciding if I am going to keep my new birkinstocks that arrived today at a rather bargain price. One pair fits brill and the other fits a bit funny but the straps need altering first

    Achy legs now so not up to much tonight!
