    No spend November for me please Lula-Hula :j

    I'll try my bestest to make December no spend as well, but I am easily tempted when shopping for others!

    Congrats Antwacky on another no spend month, just one more to go!

    Bought a few things from Tesco, a scarf, jammies and socks. Total now at £410.76. I need a new pair of jeans but am hoping to stay under my £500 target for the year.

    I haven't been online much as my pc is broken. I'm still doing really well though. It's been a real eye opener for me.

    Bought 2 pairs of jeans in Next for £42 last night, still within my target for the year. Hopefully I don't need to buy anything more this year.

    I managed a no spend November :j, so my spend to the end of Nov remains:-

    Cash–£6/150 spent
    House Of Fraser Vouchers – £36/122
    M&S Vouchers – £50/50

    Total spend for 2012 – £92

    May contain nuts. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included. Thanks to all posters :D

    An update for December.

    I've been looking for a full length winter coat for some time, and a local department store had a very nice one on half-price sale (£125, reduced from £250 - but it is a Pierre Cardin coat, so should last many years). I also picked up a scarf at the same time (£17.50), as I'm having some problems with my neck muscles (I'm on anti-inflammatories). Unfortunately, the store wasn't HOF, so I had to pay with cash. I did find a very nice high neck, thick cardigan for use at home in HOF (£38.50, reduced from £55), so December has turned into an expensive month - though I'm still within my overall budget. Having uploaded these into Consumer Pulse, plus a couple of items for my wife, I've got £3 back, which I've taken into account in the 'HOF' summary.

    Cash–£148.50/150 spent
    House Of Fraser Vouchers – £71.50/122
    M&S Vouchers – £50/50

    Total spend for 2012 – £270 (from a budget of £322)

    Merry Christmas everyone :xmassign:
