    Ah, gym membership! I sort of stopped going in November on account of me being too busy, then it was Christmas, then...well, that's where the excuses stop! I must get back into it as well!

    I will if you will!

    Still no money spent, although its chilly here and a cup of tea is looking appealing!

    I feel like I'll have to go back to the gym this week now with you all watching :D

    I have an exercise bike and was planning on doing The Coronation Street Diet, but I still haven't got round to it...you'll have to [STRIKE]bully[/STRIKE] encourage me to do it! :D

    I managed to keep yesterday as a NSD despite the temptation of tea from the canteen at work. I have a loyalty card which only needs one more stamp to net me a free cuppa, so I might get one tomorrow and then use my freebie on Friday. I am going to have to buy stamps today (BAH!) so will have to keep pennies for that as they're now eye-wateringly expensive - especially as I'm nowhere near the post office today and will have to buy a book of four.

    I didn't go to the gym (not that I'm surprised!) but did a lot of wandering about the office and managed to rack up one activity point on my pedometer so I'm at least keeping a bit active.

    My credit card has been returned to zero with the money I have been putting aside for spends I've made, and I should only need one trip to the supermarket before Friday. I haven't done a mealplan but only because I'm waiting for some folk to get back to me about planned outings!

    Money spent:

    £2.76 on four large letter stamps. *muttermutter*
    £5.00 on the book club at the office - I'm getting a ten book set for that - cheaper even than Kindle ;)
    380 Advantage points spent on hairspray and three packets of popcorn to sneak in to the pictures tomorrow :D
    £5.45 at Morrisons - food for dinner tomorrow, fruit for packed lunches and so on.

    Hurry up, Friday!
  • Mmm, popcorn! :D Enjoy the cinema...I wanna go, too! :)

    Bills account - £391.32 (reduction due to mobile bill)
    Food account - £31.83 (increase due to arrival of Amazon money) Won't be using all of this, and am hoping to start building a surplus up for future bulk-shopping needs!
    Purse - £1.98

    The last Friday of the month is this Friday, so adding my usual £136 will take the bills account to £527.32. Before the end of the month the mortgage, power and home insurance debits will come out, leaving me with a remainder of £245.93 to start the month with. That's just over half the total of my normal monthly bills, and next month is a council tax free month, so I'm starting off pretty well.
