Hi all

I'm wondering though, if anyone else saves up their spends in order to do them all on one day. Is that cheating? For example, I need to order a couple of things online for a DIY project we're doing. I could have ordered them today. But I know I've got to buy milk tomorrow so I'm waiting to order them on the same day. Does anyone else do this?

Yes, I do it that way. I don't count direct debits or any automated pay out of my account but everything else (card, cash payments). That means I save buying things for a certain day or try to. If I know I need milk in two days time I make do with what else I have till that day and go shopping then. That way I get more inventive with cooking for instance and use up left overs more. Also that' show I avoid taking the bus and smoking as this all counts in my case like today, horrendous weather got a lift in but need the bus back, although I could have worn my waterproofs, but need a wee trip to T3sco anyway later so this is a spend day

Morning everyone :wave:

(((hugs))) to kerri, hope things get better soon xx



As it's Friday, it's wiggle time. A bit sedate to start off with but I might work up to something a bit more energetic later in the day:D:D

Whoops yesterday just ran a way with me, so here is the update, sorry it's a little late!!

Targets met today:

The Dragon – well done for number 10 & target met!! :j:j
Freeby will update your target to 15 when she updates the front page.

Lots of NSDs rolling in today, so well done to:

BritAbroad – well done for number 4, you’re doing great!! :j:j
No it’s definitely not cheating to save up your spends for NSD’s. The way I see it, it focuses your mind on what you really need, & I find quite often if I leave it a day or 2 I don’t actually need whatever it was I was going to buy!!

Igamogam – well done for number 2, keep going you can do it!! :j:j

Tiggy10 – well done for number 3, don’t give up, you will catch up!! :j:j

ifwisheswerehorses... – well done for number 10, & I love that picture!! :j:j

marmiterulesok – well done for number 13, you’re doing great!! :j:j

thriftylass – well done for number 9, you’re doing great!! :j:j

stripeyjumpergirl – well done for number 8, you’re doing great!! :j:j

Pips Mum – well done for number 6!!:j:j
If Mr Pip’s having a good time then I’d definitely go with claiming some pampering off him when he gets home!!

emslovesmickey – well done for 8 & 9, you’re doing great!! :j:j

BigMummaF – well done for number 8, I just love the sneaky ones that creep up on you!! :j:j

Not one for me yesterday, i treated myself to lunch with my friend from work, we decided after a carp week we deserved it, & lovely it was too!!

OutofDebt-NOT-OutofDanger

NSD 15 and 6 in a row today:j

Visiting relatives this weekend so may be spendy unless I can keep the spend down to the "squander money jar" where I put all the change and underspend money for the month - anything spent from here doesn't count:D:D
