  • Good evening everyone!

    ... and a big hello to all the newbies!

    Pointy - please can you show me green last week with a spend of £97.69! :j

    This week I'm going to pledge a whopping £145 ... sounds like a lot (and I suppose it is :o) but it's all for planned spends, which broken down are:
    £15 - fuel for the motorcycle,
    £75 - we've got friends coming round (so the weekly food bill will be larger than normal), and
    £55 - I'm finishing off the last of my Christmas shopping today. :T

    I'm hoping to get all of this done by the end of the day today, so at least the rest of the week will be NSDs and hopefully I wont be tempted to break my run of NSD with any unplanned spends!

    Have a good week collecting NSDS everyone, especially to the newbies! :money:

    i had to go out and buy stuff for pack ups! so thats £4.61/£30 so far!!! hopefully rest of the week will be ok!

    Hows everyone got on so far? :)
  • Count me in please. Need to do something to get my spending under control!!! :eek:

    I already splashed out £19.99 today on a slow cooker (good money saving purchase I realise from the forums). As most of the excess spending is mee being too knackered to cook in the evenings and ending up at the local pub for a 'quick meal' (always 25 quid by the time me & DH have a meal & drink) I'll be quids in by the weekend! Money already aside for groceries so I'll pledge £35.00 - and the slow cooker has to come out of that too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Good luck all
    I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...
  • Hi Pointy

    Can you put me down for £70 this week - going away for an anniversary break and we'll probably do a bit of shopping.

    Thanks :)

    Popping in to say Hi, still at £0 spend but won't last long as debating when I am going to book my week end away (received my vouchers with T clubcard) and how this impacts my NSD.
