Hi Tiggy, you may be better off than you think - most people don't include ebay postage in the challenges (as it's paid for by the buyer;)) - but obviously up to you!
Having a pretty good week so far ..... (can you tell it's getting to the end of the month and I've just about run out of money)!
Monday - NSD
Tuesday - NSD
Wednesday - £3 on a prescription
Have managed to avoid the temptation of *Bucks for the past 3 mornings (lost my flask at work but found it today - someone had kindly hidden it in a cupboard:().
May be going downhill from here on in though as nothing in for lunch tomorrow.:(

i counted mine just because im a new ebayer and it takes 21 days for my payments to be released by paypal unless i get positive feedback so it will be a while b4 the postage cancels out! but thanks, well done on your NSD's!Paying it all off in 2017:

No not bad at all as I didn't drink that much as we were doing the quiz. I ended up at another quiz tonight but got dinner too so I am £10 lighter after shrapnel goes into the penguin bank. Unfortunately that puts in the red for this week :mad:
Total £42 / £40
Hope you are all doing better than me. It is my own fault for going to the pub too much but I find it hard when OH is working away I don't like to come home to an empty flat.:o
Thursday tomorrow, we are on the down slope especially as I have a half day on Friday and I am heading to Englandshire for the weekend :j:jWeekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30
