    A no spend day for me - I was going to go to town later but the wind's putting me off. Just drove home - it's bin day here and I spent half the drive dodging wheelie bins and rubbish that's flying around.

    I just got home to find I've been refunded £105 of bank charges too! :D so techincally my spending for today is -£105. Do I get a prize?

    Congratulations Andy! Was it an easy process?

    Evening Moozie & gang.

    I was aiming for a no spender, but I had to go to Lidl to pick up some stuff for work, so I spent £3.37.
    Must try harder tomorrow.

    Well I was on course for a NSD but OH (away with work in London) just rang to say all trains north are cancelled due to the weather! So I got on to hotels.com (via quidco - at least should get £10 cashback :rolleyes:) to find a hotel room - hardly anything left. Cheapest I could find was £85 - hopefully we'll be able to claim it back from the company but for now it is another emergency hit on the credit card :mad: :( Poor soul though - stuck another night away and sick of staying in hotels. But at least we found a room - could have been the park bench! :eek:

    Evenin' all. :hello:

    I have spent £1 on a colleagues 'special landmark birthday' collection which I don't mind as she is lovely.

    And that's it!

    Everyone take good care out there, don't go out unless you have to, it's awful!

    If you report the 2nd week accurately including the towels but then total the 2 weeks I think you will still be under budget for half of the month- according to your sig you have a monthly budget.

    I think that's what great about recording our savings in this way - when we need to spend a little extra no only do we have to justify it, there is actual cash available :D

    Yep, I do have a monthly budget and it's been going well so far (now I know why I managed to reduce my debt - I was obviously spending less than I thought, lol) I think that this week might just go over my 'moozies challenge' but then perhaps I can last until Saturday for my groceries :D Much as I hate Saturday shopping, it'll be worth it, lol. I've a load of my Body Shop stock on ebay too, and it seems to be going well. I think I might use that to pay for the new couch I need for doing my treatments.
    This board is helping me so much - I actually feel much more in control, and as a result the little I do spend is enjoyable because I'm not wracked with guilt when I spend it now (unlike when head was firmly in the sand)
    I'm pleased to say that today HAS been another NSD for me. However, I'm venturing into Cardiff tomorrow......
