My poor Irish flatmate is staring despairingly at the television watching Ireland buy themselves a ticket home from NZ, poor chap. England next, I'm already feeling nervous! I'll be on the train for the second half so will have to make do with the app updating me!
My E-bay items are ending in 30 mins and I have a total of £30.48 so far
I have transferred the £15.41 in my amazon account over to current account.
I have declared I will try to have a No Spend Weekend! it can be done, it will be hard but I will keep you updated!

4 of my items sold for a total of £36.73 - not bad for a Saturday morning!

Excellent eBay result! NSWE is a real challenge but being at your parents place is definitely the right way to go about it! Enjoy the birthday party - dont eat too much sugar now! :-)

Thanks!
So far so good! Normally Id have spent about a tenner on breakfast at the station and mag, snacks for the journey but I took my revision so completed 3 more exam questions and took my own food, I'll be raiding Mums cupboards tomorrow to do the same!

I really do realise now how much money I waste, can't believe it!

Correction:

I really do realise now how much money I used to waste

Right, off to entertain a very grumpy 1 year old!

Evening all,

I DID IT! I have had the first no spend weekend for as long as I can remember!! Feels good! It helped with going back home, but I reckon I'm ready for the next challenge of a NSWE in London sometime soon when I have no plans.

Hope you've all had good weekends. My nieces birthday was lovely and she was uber cute and such a good girl with all the attention, nice day with my parents today so, overall lovely. Apart from one piece of bad news... at the boxing I was supposed to go to on Friday night but gave the tickets away... of the group of guys that went, after the show one got hit by a taxi.... he's currently in an induced coma having sustained head injuries so all my thoughts, prayers and best wishes are going to him to make a full recovery.

On the train I managed to do 4 more exam questions so I can go and update my signature now too.

Tomorrow could possibly be a NSD which would make 3 in a row.

Morning all,

Monday again, another week of money saving to look forward to! Have made a good start already. After checking all my banking and updating my seriusly clever spreadsheet I was able to update my signature again. This month I have paid off £663.37 so far with Amazon, Music Magpie and Ebay money totally over £60 still to arrive in my account albeit I paid off a lot more by mistake but that's not bad thing and I'll still get through the month without touching credit (couldnt even if I wanted to as cards met scissors!) which is the first for me in about 5 years. That's a scary thing to admit but true and I can't wait to get to that one month mark and realise what I managed to do. Now where's my trumpet, I need to blow it!

Signature updated.

As I spent no money this weekend I have £30 extra left over from last week. I have put £20 of that in an envelope for my after work drinking fund, so I can go for a couple when the mood takes me and £10 is in the magic pot for Thorpe Park this weekend - the friend Im going with does have a tendancy to cancel (or just not turn up) last minute so I'm not massively holding my breath it will happen, in which case I can try to enjoy another NSWE!

Been to see the post room at work this am, I can buy 3 jiffy bags off them to post the 2 dresses and belt I sold on ebay (cheaper than buying from P.O) and saw they had a perfectly sized box for me to post the shoes I sold in so I got that for free as it was destined for the recycling!

I have ran out of a few things at home, so I'm going to pop to the shop after work and get those but should cost less than a fiver. I do have to pay for postage etc but I'm not counting that in daily spend as Im paying for that out my pound pot to be re-imbursed by the buyer who paid for postage.

Still no news on my friend Im hoping that no news is good news, thinking of him all the time though.

Have a great day all
