saorsie

Well two NSD's in the bag for Sunday and Monday so the week is starting well, also have a total of £9.95 to add from ISA interest and the closure of my S*n B*ngo account after they stopped people playing the free game for well free really!

Sooooo currently clocking in on £39.95/£30

Well, I blew it! All of it! Spent £21 yesterday!!! :eek:

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

Total so far: £21/£21

For those wondering about the cigs, I've been doing well except for when drinking. In the 9 days since "quitting" I've had 4 smoking occasions (4 separate days but only smoking in the evening when out, not during the day). So whatever else, it's a huge improvement. No plans to go out, or spend money (apart from food and petrol budgets) or smoke for the rest of the week. No smoking for longer though!!! :rotfl:

I'm seriously skint now! No spends left this month really! I have a fiver at home which I will pay myself on Friday. Whether I waste £3 of it on Starbucks is anybody's guess at this point!

Roll on Wednesday...payday

Afternoon!

Well yesterday I managed a spend of only 20p and that was for two small packets of haribo sweeties for my young daughters. However, just been for swimming lesson with my 3 year old, and she wanted a packet of crisps out of the vending machine which was 70p.

Doesn't sound too bad I hear you say! - Well, whilst doing some online Xmas shopping on Sunday, I accidentally sneaked in some cosmetics totalling £12.15. Justifying this for xmas socialising!

Anyway, still got Xmas 'do' through work on Friday to budget for. Its not so much the dining out, as that's a set menu for £15 each for two courses, its the alcohol that gets so expensive, although I expect I will be the designated driver, so bar one glass of wine, I expect I will be on the diet coke!

Hi everyone,

Hoping for a NSD today - have even made my own sandwiches for lunch at work for a change.

Will need to get some milk & bread later, but that's out of my food budget.

Have a nice day.
