    hey moozie!! welcome back, we missed you yesterday... sorry to hear you had a long busy day

    Today I am buying my boyfriend a prezzie – we had our anniversary the other night and it was a bit like bobbadog's anniversary in that I thought we weren't getting each other presents and so I only got him a card and he then bought me three presents! :o:o chocs and candles and some candleholders ... I was quite embarrassed. So I'm buying him a little book, which will be £5.99. Other than that it should be a no-spend.

    Thank you my little star ;)

    Happy anniversary!!! A bit late, I am sorry but must have missed it somwhere :o I am sure your very thoughtful and generous OH will be very happy with his book! Well done on not spending loads on a present - I know what guilt can do!

    Hello Moozie and everyone else!

    I have been soooo busy this week and am limping to the end of the Moozie sun-fri challenge with 46p to my name (and 21p of that I found in my drawer at work). But at least I was still within my budget!

    Today is going to be a no spender, I haven't brought lunch with me but my boss has bought in loads of cakes, sweets and fruit which have made me so full I don't want anything else. Cheap but not very healthy. Tonight I am going out with my OH but he is paying.

    The 46p is going in my mortgage pig.

    Have a good day everyone!
    Saving for an early retirement!

    Hi Imelda, that explains why we've not seen much of you this week. Well done on succeeding with the challenge and for feeding the mortgage pig!

    Have a lovely evening with your OH.

    Oh dear...I think I am a misunderstood mooz! :rotfl: What I meant was that guilt makes us overcompensate so I thought it was good that you didn't spend a lot more than you did. He will love the book, I am sure of it :D

    Glad things are better although it still doesn't sound perfect if you are spending most of your time in your room :(

    You are so sweet! Actually, there's plenty of fun stuff I can get up to on my own in my room! :rotfl:

    So far so good, another NSD for me (although I'm at a slight "advantage" in that I am immobile lol)
    Am desperately trying to talk myself out of a take away (I wanted one yesterday too), think I'll see if I can get a friend to drive me to a "banquet" Indian on Sunday so I can fulfil my cravings and still spend as little as possible :rolleyes:
    Have a good day everyone :wave:
    Married my wonderful husband February 2013!:happyhear
    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Awww! I think we have lovely men, cathy! I just purchased mine the 'Cookie Karma Sutra', doesn't hurt to make a few suggestions ;)

    I still feel like i kind of owe him a ring though. Have seen one I like, so may one day get it. Have a lovely anniversary part II! x
