    So today I treated myself to a pizza! naughty as it wasn't very oldstyley but I've had a productive week so far!

    Went shopping lunchtime with my friend from work "M" she's pretty flush so i rather enjoyed "helping" her chose a bag and some rather expensive makeup... I felt like I was shopping for free it was great!! :rotfl::rotfl:everytime I tried something I liked she was egging me on to get it and I said that I was saving for my holiday so she stopped and admitted she wished she was better with money! :D

    Spent £5 today, found 5p so thats going in the sealed pot :D

    Still working my way through the site... wow there's a lot to take in! and catching up on all your diaries - taking notes! :T:money:

    wow sunshine haven't seen that for a while!!!

    Well achieved my first NSD for May yesterday (well I started late!) :)

    after reading through a few diaries in the week I decided to purchase a spending app (spend log) - its awesome! recommend it to anyone I know exactly how much I have spent and how much I have left - really good I was shocked friday - I went window shopping with a friend and bought a few little bits from a couple of shops..old wiggle though she hadn't spent that much... MSE Wiggle had put it all in her app and realised she'd spent £12! :o

    SO 12 days till pay day....and short on cash...have to get to work everyday, have a friend who wants to go out for her birthday..which i know I can't afford...i jist don't know how to tell her...:o

    I use a notebook for logging my spending. It really is an eye opener! One thing that I especially like is that I can keep track of my NSDs and see my grocery spending (a problem area of mine) reduce over time.
