    spent money yesterday and today so can't mark another one down. Not planning on doing anything this weekend though so hopefully that will be another 2 days to add, then I'll be half way to my goal

    Number 8 for me today, hit the worst point of giving up smoking (& this time i won't use my mum's dramas as an excuse to start again!), so to avoid popping to the shops for cigs or any other rubbish i had a shower & put my pj's on at 4.45pm :eek: felt very lazy, but at least it preserved my NSD :D

    Well done on stopping smoking - how long have you been stopped for now? I've given up too, as of New Year (apart from a little slip-up last weekend after a few too many drinks!) x
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Still doing well but OH cant seem to get his head round buying everything on one or two days so still having to make odd trips out for things but mainly essentials like animal feed so not too bad and I dont buy any of the little extras that I used to when on these trips, however I have imposed a £10 a week max spend for his tobacco and he is running out today and dosent get another £10 till Saturday so watch this space! I dont think he realised quite how much he was smoking and its come as a bit of a surprise!

    Wow Katenut well done, especially for not letting the slip up throw you off track!
    I've been stopped since Sunday (with the help of Champix), think i was coasting on the glory of announcing i had stopped for the first couple of days & now the novelty has worn off i quite fancy one, but am going to had to bed soon & am convinced the craving will be all gone by morning!!

    #6 today. I had expected to spend today as DS needed a duvet after our cat spewed:eek: on his very old and tatty one

    EUGH! Nothing worse than the smell of cat spew - like fresh cat food but worse....

    NSD number 9 for me today.


    Feeling somewhat down today, ho hum.

    Sorry to hear you are feeling glum today SF - big hugs xxx

    Not a NSD for me today (though didn't expect it to be) - I knew I needed to get petrol tonight, as its the only time in the week I go past the petrol station that is now 5p ltr cheaper than the ones local to me (which are now flogging car juice at the bargain price of 129.9p per/ltr :eek:) so £30 in there to fill up. I also bought some foil to wrap sarnies at the 99p shop (for...99p lol) - and two tins of Tuna, sweetcorn and pepper filling for sarnies, which is lower in calories than I expected.

    Hopefully a NSD for me tomorrow - back on the wagon I go. Oh, and I forgot to say - we booked a holiday earlier in the week - off to sunny spain for 7 nights later in the year :j First sunshine holiday we've had in about 6yrs so really looking forward to it.
