Happy Friday - What will you/have you spent today thread 1/12/06

Mornin all, Happy Friday and Happy December!

Well December is finally with us, that old Christmas thing many of us dread is getting even closer. Where many of us can and do drop off the DFW wagon at some point. But that's what this forum is for, sharing the ups and downs :D

Well being Friday milk money is due, might pay the milk lady for 2 weeks as I am out this week so that'll be £5.20. I need to collect my sons maazie from the local shop with is another £1.95, and I need some bread, but hopefully that will be all today :T just the essentials.
One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Good morning lovely DFWs :D

    It is Friday and I am so happy :) I wonder why....oh could it be the fact I now owe less than £10k, I have a night off packing and I have done well in the challenge! :D:D:D

    Anyway, have a smashing day everyone and hope it goes quickly for us all that have the weekend off!

  • Morning all,

    Well I'm planning on a couple of spends today. It's Friday, so that means hash brown rolls from the canteen, possibly with the addition of mushrooms so £1.40. This takes me over my £10 Sun-Fri challenge budget. :o Must do better next week.

    Then have a girl's night planned with a full manicure (my first and probably last :rotfl:...for a while at least) then dinner at the new Mexican restaurant. Budgeted for, from my clothes and treats budget.
    Have a great DFW day everyone. :beer:

    I have the day off and OH has a half day, so we're going to blitz the housework (his parents are visiting tomorrow) and we're going to go buy our first Christmas Tree, some decorations, a kitchen bin, bread, juice and cheese. Estimate £30, but I earnt £40 more than i expected this month so it's kind of allowed :) Happy Friday to you all x

    Good morning everyone :wave:

    I am planning a low spend day today though I have already treated myself to a latte at £1.50. I started getting serious about dealing with my debt on 1st November and I decided to go the whole hog and start dieting on that day too (I need to lose around 2 stones). Anyway, I weighed myself this morning for the first time and I have lost 7 pounds :dance: I was hoping for a little more but I'll take what I can get :grin:

    Will also have to spend £2 approximately on a sandwich for lunch as I forgot to bring mine ... oh dear, I think I have spent double my £5 target already :eek:
    Dealing with my debt and my weight :D
    Debt at LBM 22/12/08 £33,270
    Debt now £30,100 (9.5% paid off)

    £2 coins saved and banked = £210
  • Happy Friday, Happy December and Happy Payday, Woohoo!!

    Happy Friday everyone!
    Should be a no spend for me as havent got the energy to go outside and feet are killing me. In fact, I should be up moneywise cos hopefully mate I lent £50 to is supposed to be paying me back today!? If he does I'll be paying it off First Direct- easy come easy go!! :rolleyes:
    Have a good day everyone :santa2:
    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!
