How much have/will you spend today Friday 29/12?

Good afternoon lovely DFWs :)

Another lazy start to the day for me after a very successful dinner party! Lots of wine was had by all and everyone seemed to like what I cooked which was a great relief - especially as I'd been in the kitchen pretty much since lunch time! :)

I am having a very good week spending wise and hope this to continue today. Didn't spend anything yesterday as my OH posted the Amazon sales and other parcels ;)

Can't wait to get back in the challenge though as I feel more in control that way. Not planning any spending today as feel rather fragile and will probably curl up on the sofa all day :D

Anyway, have a lovely day and keep it low!

  • Hi Moozie,

    Glad the dinner party was a success. :j

    It's definately going to be a nsd day for me today, it's too cold and manky to venture outside.

    Looking forward to taking part in this challenge, going to aim for £30 a week for the first few weeks and then slowly but surely reduce my weekly spend.
    Sealed pot challenge 2009 - target £750. Dec - April £275

    April NSD - 15/20

    Nada but I may pay £11.97 off my credit card in a second as it's annoying me and I want to start the year with a nice round figure :rotfl:

    Am AQA applying this afternoon and even skipping NYE mainly now, so should be a very low week in all :j

  • Hi all

    Glad to dinner party went well Moozie.

    I have a confession... I spent £1.77 yesterday. But today will be a nsd, well technically I'm going shopping but oh pays for that so not out of my budget.

    Have a good new year. See you all in 2007.

    Hi Moozie - Pleased you had a good evening - hope you've got a good supply of 'Seltzers' :rolleyes:
    I'm still doing well with my 'No Spend Week' - My daughter paid, somewhat reluctantly' for the coffees yesterday as payment for her lift to town. :beer:
    Mrs Rog2 is also starting to embrace the DFW lifestyle - she took her two sisters to ASDA last night and they had reduced all the fresh Meat joints down to 50p, Fresh Milk (4 pints) to 5p - They came home with over £50 worth of meat for the freezer (2 Large Chickens, Lamb, Pork and 3 Beef Joints) and a Huge bag of shopping - Total spend £6.75 (From Normal Shopping Budget) :j :T :j
    No need for me to go out today, so no further spending. :D:D

  • Hi Moozie - really glad your evening with friends went well :smiley:

    I have spent £2 on bus fare and £3.54 on fresh veg.

    Also bought two glasses of rose wine at lunchtime as a friend of mine is leaving where I work and...I just wanted to buy her a drink! So £5.90 there.

    Here I am back at my PC after a glass of wine...very glad there are no Managers here as I am a bit woozy Moozie! :D

    Total spend of £11.44.

  • Hi Moozie,

    Glad your evening went well - sounds like fun was had by all.

    I'm absolutely chuffed as managed to bag a bargain in the sales and got a watch I nearly bought last week at full price for £900 less. :j Therefore that's an ouber £900 saving that can go straight into the mortgage fund. apart from that sandwich for £2.50 and that's it so going well today yey!! Think the girlfriend has bought food for tomorrow so try and make tomorrow a minimum spend day :)
