Great mantra there Pap

Certainly is Beanie, I have been living like that for about 3months and my life has completly changed, for the better

Many, many thanks for my birthday gift, its perfect, although you shouldn't have. A great place to store all my pcos stuff for my face.

So work went well, well apart from the fact I have missed something important. However my manager of job two maybe sorting something out :T Other than that its just the usual, nsd today as I took water into work. Day off tomorrow so I am planning a 8mile walk and maybe a trip to the pet shop for cat litter.

Just having tea and then I shall be winding down and heading for bed :rotfl:

Thanks Beanie and Pen, I am just waiting now, which is a pain but if it happens it happens

So on Wednesday I managed only a 5mile walk. I planned to go around the outside of the golf couurse but we ended up going through it (don't worry it is a public footpath

) so lost at least 2miles min. I did manage to get to the pet shop (local) and spent only 80p on the dog. Mum got litter in work and thier cat food has increased by 30p

So I got cat food from work yesterday and spent £10. So in the past week with those spends and a few cups of tea at work my spends are £13.80. That leaves £15.80 until pay day, perfect for me as I now have no outgoing, appart from graze.

So two things I wanted to bring up is graze and NSD's. Firstly graze boxes, I love, love, love these. They have become my chocolate replacement annd although they would seem expensive £3.49 they last at least 4 dayus if not more. Also I have tryed to make my own but to make it cost effective you have to buy larger bags at a cheaper price and the items just don't last as I am the only one that eats nuuts in our house. So I have decided to add it to my budget as a outgoing but only 4 boxes (so one a week) at a cost of £13.46. Anything above that will have to come out of my daily/weekly spends .

Now NSD's, I have decided that I need to start a monthly NSD challenge. Once again its 20p coffees/teas in work and extra snacks that are eating into my budget. So for now Febuary I want to have 15nsd's out of the 28. Totally do-able I feel and the fact that I need nothing next month so here goes.

Tomorrow I have a day off and I am hoping to get another long walk in, if the dog will allow

Plus I need to do the usual cleaning/beginning of the month stuff :rotfl:

Have a good weekend all :T

Thanks Beanie, I may just pop into that thread. I have been on the toiletries one and its amazing the amount I have saved so far this year not buuying them. Having people keeping an eye on you is fab, as I have found out over the years :rotfl:

They used to be Gem, but then I didn't use them for a while. They gave me a new year offer of one box free + 3 half price, I actually got 4 half price because they were late delivering one, they have debited £1.74 each. But I am sure I got an email saying they were being increased. I then checked as a normal cuustomer and I am sure its £3.49. Still I class the extra as postage anyways so to me they are still only £2.99

I used the map my run site wrong and I acually walked 5km on Wednesday, so just over 3.5miles. However today we walked all the way to our old dog walking area and walked 5.3miles. So thats 8.8miles over the week, not too bad

Dog is tired now though :rotfl: Oh and a NSD...

Have a great Sunday all :T

£53.07 into savings :j I think that will be it now until payday. Not doing too badly considering I am still on my first wage of 2011. Don't know if I could keep this amount up all year but I am glad to have a large amount behind me already

Well yesterday I ended up grocery shopping

I know I said I wouldn't but I fancied some heinz hotpot and then I brought more offers etc. So I spent £40, considering I budgeted £50 it wasnt too bad. This should last until March payday :j So I transfered £11.07 into my savings, and that is certainly the last before payday. Todasy was my first NSD of Feb and long may they continue

Have a great week all :beer:
