    hey everyone.
    can I join in in October please?
    I have fallen off the NSD wagon this month an very annoyed with myself. Also not been paying as close attention to my budget so gone a bit over the last 2 weeks.
    Also my contact for work is due to end in mid October, and I don't know if it will be extended. Therefore a perfect time to cut back as much as possible.
    I will do a big food shop at the weekend, and then hopefully only bills, petrol and the odd going out with bf, but will try to keep it as low cost as possible.

    £3.85 in 'naughty' expenditure. In my defence I was quite unwell and needed something to get me through the drive home.

    30/09: Expenditure up to £35.28 on 'unecessary' stuff. I have to stop!

    Well peeps, my October starts today! Let's hope that it's better than September. Didn't that month seem to go on FOREVER?

    I have worked out that I shall have a disposable income of £4 per day, but my goal is to stick as much of that as possible in my piggy bank each night, preferably all of it. I have started well today by bringing tasty pizza leftovers in for lunch and I think I'll head to the park to enjoy the sunshine to avoid the shops.

    Happy October everybody xx
