    We spent 65p on a local paper that had NO decent jobs in it, harrrumph, and £1.70 on sending a very belated birthday present to Nathaniel's mother. All comes out of the household budget - just off to update the sig.
    If you can't be a good example, be a dire warning :D

    MBNA charges and interest frozen
    Egg/DLC repayment agreement reached

    Feels like progress!

  • Nothing for a change.

    Had a terrible week, bought new glasses for OH for £380 (I know, but he needed high index lenses as has v poor eyesight and this included eye test), road tax (£170), and xmas prezzies £300 so far (v big family).

    Still got a load more prezzies to get but when you have 2 sisters, 1 half brother, 3 stepsisters, 1 stepbrother and 9 nieces and nephews then what can you do? (and that is just my family, OH also has relatives!) I could just offend them completely all by opting out of xmas completely this year. What do you think?

    CHRISTMAS SAVINGS = £0/£500. SEF = £1,400/£12,000 PREMIUM BONDS ME = £350. PREMIUM BONDS DH = £300.
    HOLIDAY MONEY = £0 TIME LEFT TO PAY OFF MORTGAGE = 5 YEARS 1 MONTHS
  • i wanted a non spend day but i got to work and forgot my bread for toast (so that cost me 10p) on the plus side i did come home to find my pigsback boots voucher but i have seen in some brocheres that came today too a fab little money bank that requires you to finish the puzzle before you can get your money out... bit pricey though :o will have to think on that one :D

    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb
  • 32p on a first class stamp and £1.15 for milk. Payday today but no urge to buy anything - too exhausted from work to even think about spending. Won't have time for any shopping until after Christmas I don't think!!

    Hello lovely DFWs :)

    I've been trying to get in the site for ages but no luck! Smilies and thanks button not working but at least I think I am in now....

    Thanks Bobbly, very good of you to 'open shop' and I can see you have been working hard at it today :D

    I've spent some money on travelling which will all be refunded as it was work related so that doesn't count. I bought a hot chocolate though, which will count. It was £1.75 and I blame Phoenix ;)

    Hope you are all having a lovely evening!


    PS Rog2, hope you are better now. Almost feel bad for telling off the absent ones yesterday! Lots of rest and let Mrs Rog do her nusing thing on you now :D

    got to the end of the day and it's officially a no-spend day now – hurrah!! well yes I know it's only 5pm but I've got my dinner in the fridge waiting to be heated up for tonight and so simply no reason to spend anything now. May have some small expenditure tomorrow – have promised to make someone pecan pie with vanilla icecream for Saturday night and I'll really have to make the icecream tomorrow, so will have to buy eggs & milk. But that won't be too costly
