Badger's budgeting begins

I took it out & put it back in and it seems okay now? Hmmm!!
I had a walk round town earlier today and got caught in the thunder storm, I was absolutely soaked. My poor car is covered in Saharan dust as well, I won't be able to clean her until Tuesday now
Had a nice day though, been to parents house and had a play with their dog. They've had him nearly two months and his little character is coming out now he's coming out of his shell a bit. Poor little chap I dread to think what he went through before he got handed in to the rescue.
Need to get my stuff ironed for work tomorrow & make my sandwich etc...
Tomorrow will be another NSD which will get me to my target :money:
Bank acc is £5 out to what my phone app says, so I've forgotten to put something down?? Need statement to update properly to see what it is??
Also think I may have forgotten to pay my hairdresser yesterday as I found a fiver in my purse? I've text her but she's not replied... Will get DM to ask when she goes on Mon!

So I'm back to work and the sun has come out
what's that all about?
Bank acc & app on phone are all matching :money:I've only got 7 days left of the free trial on the app though
Nothing to buy today so I will get to my target NSD today
I'm starting to wish I'd had my LBM
earlier in the year, because I've not got anything saved up towards my car insurance which is due August anything spare at the end of the month is going towards that now instead of Overpayments
Roll on Sept when I can make a start. LBM 24/05/2012 :TAugust NSD 10/12 * £2 savers0 -

The nice weather seems to have disappeared down here.

I'm with you on the LBM moment, but at least we can pleased that we had one before it got too late to fix. I can't wait until I can have savings and not worry if my card will get refused.:)
Ive got lunch out today which I'd rather not go because I dont want to spend any money but I dont want to say no either as it will be fun. At least we have a voucher so that will keep the costs down.Total: £50,676 £0 🥳 The journey to debt freedom0 -
Hello

Another miserable day here
Not that it really matters to me being at work. 
No bacon butty again We work 4 Saturdays in a row usually and the butties are £2.20 each so that's not a bad saving really
Left OH a list of jobs to do today
He's a good 'un!!
I'm hoping for another NSD today, although there's a 50p piece in my pocket and the vending machine is calling my namesistafromanothermista wrote: »

Hope lunch was nice Pen & not too 'spensive!!
At least now I know that I do need to save for things where as before LBM I would've just used the OD or CC and said I'll pay it off and then of course I wouldn't

That's a very good saving on the Bacon Butties, amazing how quickly things like that add up really.
Hope work flew by for you, did you manage to ignore the call of the vending machine :-) they really are the worst aren't they.

Fae
It dragged a bit but we always have a bit of a laugh at weekends because it's just the "plebs" and no bosses. I avoided the vending maching *pulls proud face*
It meant I got another NSD for June as well 11/10. I do miss the butties especially when everyone else has them, but no one had one yesterday so it wasn't too bad.

Oooh excellent
Ours was two months ago
it feels like all it's done since we got back is rain
£250 should be plenty if you're AI 
Another day at work, counting down the hours til 7 now lol
Sundays really are dull, they're really quiet so we end just going through the files for the week and making sure everything is set up for the following week. At least I can kill some time on here :money: We've got Monopoly and Cluedo if it gets too boring plus Iplayer & 4OD.
Today should be another NSD so a good way to kick off July.LBM 24/05/2012 :TAugust NSD 10/12 * £2 savers0 -
Loving the new Look Badger :-) and well done on another NSD, and good luck for today, I'm going for a NSD myself.
