Good afternoon lovely DFWs :)

I can't find the thread anywhere so I either missed it (sorry :o ) or I wasn't given the day off :rotfl:

I've had a super lazy morning! :D I've just done a little tidying up around my desk and while I was checking my internet banking, I saw I had 2p left in my current account (Monday is payday). So, I sent it to the credit card :rotfl: I've already paid £428.29 off it this month but now it's going to be £428.31 :rotfl: Every little counts, right? ;)

I will be going out this afternoon as I have two mystery shops to do and I am sure I will be spending some money too. I don't need anything as such but it will be nice to have some coffee out. Dinner is all sorted (fresh trout - never cooked it before :eek: ) so we have something to look forward to when we get back :)

Gosh, I do talk a lot don't I? :p Have a great Saturday everyone and hope all those feeling unwell during the week - we seem to have had a few - feel much brighter :)

    Today is looking like a no-spender. I was going to go out for a coffee but hubby talked me out of it.

    About to grab a late lunch, and just relax and watch a DVD at home. I have some 'homework' to do for my business course too.

    It feels like being a little kid again!

    Nothing wrong with being a kid again :)

    Well done on avoiding the dodgy chippy and all the other take aways last night hun. Clearly not worth it which is a pity as a take away every now and then is not too bad but great for the pocket off course!

    Thanks :) Its probably a good thing about the chippy - its just nice every now and then to not have to cook.

    I hope your trout comes out well, you'll deserve a nice meal after mystery shopping - I did my first one a couple of weeks ago, even taking notes it took me forever to get all the details they wanted!

    Quite a spendy day for me unfortunately :rolleyes:

    £59.50 in Sainsburys this morning - groceries, cat food and toiletries for the week (plus Saturday Telegraph and Sainsburys Magazine)

    Then took £30 out of cashpoint as going to a wedding reception in town, only staying a couple of hours but need money for buses/taxis and a couple of drinks each

    I agree about the chippy. It's probably the only type of take away that I would really miss if we didn't have a decent one close by.

    Thanks - I hope the trout comes out nice too :rotfl: MS takes a long time but it pays reasonably well. Today will be my 13th and 14th shops and in total I will have earned £145, so not too bad. Obviously, I'd prefer to spend my free time doing something else but it helps to make get the extra payments.

    Hi Moozie, our bank balance is looking very poorly so I'm giving it a rest today:A

    I want to spend absolutely nothing this weekend.....I've had no 'no spend' days for a couple of weeks and need to break the cycle!
