NSD 11 for me today, which is a miracle, cos it's payday and I normally have a minisplurge. I actually had £19 left in my bank account this month, which is the first time in years that I have had pennies left over. Hoping to create a little emergency buffer of £100, for emergencies only!

Hi all NSD 9 today. My sister is moving out of mum and dads and buying a house with her boyfriend so she has off loaded 2 boxes onto me of things i can sell on ebay so hopefully i will have some money rolling in and just in time for our holiday the end of august so i will be a busy bee getting them all photographed and listed as well as all the other household chores.

I know I can diet, I've lost stones before. I'm sure I can learn to spend within my means - I have loads to sell on £bay - it's just me finding myself getting around to it - I am the master of procrastination! I've wanted to start a diary on here for a couple of months and I keep putting it off telling myself I've got no time but yet I sat at home watching tv from 9pm onwards yesterday when I could have been productive instead!

Off to the Traff to the cinema tonight and renewed car tax today so a definite spendy!

A bit of time in front of the TV is no bad things JCG, we all need some "me time" that we shouldn't feel guilty about!
Hope you enjoy the cinema!

Yay well done L2B :j it's a great feeling to have left over cash!!

Not an NSD for me today, needed milk, i think it's the one essential i don't mind losing an NSD for as i can't live without my cuppa!!

Me too - hence I excluded it from my challenge in the end

Well done Learning2Budget - it's a good feeling to have some cash at the end of the month isn't it. I was just discussing that at work today - talking to someone about a deal in Mr T and mentioned that if I told my friend all the offers about atm she'd just call me a !!!!!...to which the reply was 'well I don't mind being called a !!!!! if it saves me cash, they're the ones who always moan they have no money left before pay day' How true I thought afterwards

Errrr...jury is out on a NSD today...bought some BOG2F cheese in Mr T earlier with some other bits (which I think will be returned...another of my 'long stories ) but got £4 off with conditional spends so if I take the others back, cheese was 29p for 1.2kg (beat that one Cheryl lol!!! :rotfl:)

Then got milk (not counted in NSD challenge) in Mr S and another San*x shower creme with 50p off - making it 87p. Stopped in SD and bought another one (I know I know) with another 50p off - making it 45p (this was one with 0% stuff added, wanted to give it a go even though it's slightly more expensive that the bigger bottles, but they only do this in 250ml). Still, it was 5p cheaper than Mr S.

So total 'challenge' spend is £1.61 - which I reckon I can find in the change pot (this is the pot OH puts his coppers and change in....and I take coppers and change out ) so could basically be a NSD...but I need to check the pot.

Did make £14 on fleabay last night, sold some balls for £12 which the guy collected and paid for tonight - must put that into savings :A

Feeling much better today - no idea what was wrong with me last night - think i just ate far too much at lunchtime then nothing the rest of the day.

closest I've come is some o.o.d grated bakery cheese last year

I paid under 70p for a 2kg bag - and can't remember whether I ended up with 3 or 4 bags, but I still have some of it in my freezers now 'cos I rebagged it into 100g 'portions' before freezing

it's a mature cheddar I think (deffo a mature something), and is brilliant for using in cooking. Not as good in a butty, but having ready grated mature cheese for making sauces etc is fantastic

Hi everyone :wave:

I haven't disappeared down a large hole, I'm still here:D Had a mega-busy day at work yesterday and couldn't face staring at the screen any longer:(

Will be back this evening with a mega-roundup. Lots of targets tumbling I can see - well done everyone:j:j:j

Sorry just popped back as i forgot to give Spoony a lecture about taking care of herself, not working too hard, & not worrying about us bunch of reprobates, who can chatter away amongst ourselves whenever you need a break!! :rotfl:
