    Put me down for £50 this week please

    Although Saturdays are not counted on this thread, I had a no spend day anyway :j

    A friend treated me to lunch (well overdue!) and later bought me a drink in the evening

    But, on the downside - I spent a lot on a block booking of appointments for the chiropractor, but that has to come out of my savings (boo hoo) but should be worth it in the end

    Hope everyone is well and have a good week everyone! sunshine-012.gif

    Good Morning everyone,

    It's wet and dark here today :(

    Got the week off to a good start yesterday by having a NSD. Not planning much for today either and as I have the day off work I can shut myself in the house with my purse under lock and key :)


    Sunday - NSD :)

    Morning all

    It's dark and miserable here too freebyfifty and I'm running late so shouldn't be on here!!!

    chris81418 I love doing presents shopping...it's a justifiable reason to spend money! :D

    I did go out yesterday but we didn't go to Starbucks, instead we were at one friend's house, and her boyfriend and the other friends husband and daughter were there too and we had a big turkey roast dinner for the six, well, 5 and a half, of us. It was lovely. I didn't get petrol though. Also no Starbucks spend but I did give a couple of quid towards food, however I took that from my surplus pot so NSD for challenge. Must get petrol today though or I won't get to work tomorrow morning. Wow, I'm not in the mood for work! :rotfl:

    Sun 20 Nov: NSD for challenge (not true NSD as money spent from surplus pot)
    Mon 21 Nov: NSD for challenge (not true NSD as petrol from petrol budget)
    Tue 22 Nov: NSD for challenge (not true NSD as milk from food budget)
    Wed 23 Nov: NSD
    Thu 24 Nov: NSD
    Fri 25 Nov: Starbucks £3 (and small shop from food budget)

    Total so far: £0/£21

    Hope everyone has a lovely day... once this one's over it's a steady ride through to Friday... :T

    Also, occurred to me that due to bits of leave I'm using up and the bank holidays etc, this is actually my last 5 day working week this year! Hurrah! :j

    Me too LC, except that I am off one day this week too. And I have a full week booked for next week :) I deliberately save my leave so I can cruise through November and December without having to work a full week. I hate the dark miserable mornings at the end of the year :(

    Morning everyone,

    I was super duper red last week, lost track of spends but was about £60 instead of my pledged £42! Ouch! :mad:

    Anyways, don't get paid till 1 week on Wed, I have £19.50 in my account, £5.32 on me, so i'm going to make my pledge of £24 between now & Sunday.

    A friend is due me £13.50 but i'm hoping to get that next Monday and that will tide me over till payday.

    I'll track my spends on here.
