  • I've done my spending for today - £4.13 on posting cards and parcels for Christmas. Even resisted the temptation of Subway for lunch - and I was starving when I got into town.
    Hoping for another low/no spend day tomorrow. Just about ready for Christmas but I'm taking the kids to see Santa at a farm on a deal that my mum bought for us. Then just a bit of present wrapping, I hope.

    Hi all :santa2:

    Okay, looking a bit more crowded...was getting a bit eerie there for a minute!!!

    I agree Frogletina, I expect everyone's too busy with last minute Christmas stuff and so on - I did wonder if this might happen, I must confess!

    Changing my spends around slightly as I bought my cigs on the way home from work today instead of tomorrow as planned - had less than I thought this morning, d'Oh!!

    Am quitting new year, along with my friend, and my colleague who sits next to me. So only weak point will be colleague who sits opposite me, but should be able to resist! Looking forward to it!

    Also, bought some smoked salmon mousse in Mr T when got milk, it was only a £1, although actually it was free as I used my luncheon vouchers from the survey panel that must not be named! Cool! It was yummy, I'll get that one again!

    Updated:

    Sun 18 Dec: NSD
    Mon 19 Dec: 20 cigs £6.42 (not true NSD as milk and clementines from food budget and postage of a present to Scotland)
    Planned - Tue 20 Dec: Hopefully NSD unless 10 cigs £3.45 as at friends in evening, so to tide Wed over (only in work in morning)
    Planned - Wed 21 Dec: NSD...
    Planned - Thu 22 Dec: £6.50 to lady in work for fab Christmas pudding, £50 budget set for work night out
    Planned - Fri 23 Dec: Cigs etc £9

    Total so far: £6.42/£80
