The Unneccesary Challenge

pippo

Need help though,
DDiL birthday the day we go away (that's me , DH, DS, DDil &Dgds) if that makes sense, no idea what to do or get for her B'day present - she will be 31 but has no serious hobbies or interests that I am aware of. Thought about paying for her & DS to have a night out when away and we would babysit, but DS fairly well off and we would babysit anyway so help needed.

No spend day for me today.

Almost sold a £600 machine to someone today. Surprising how I can convince them they need a coffee machine even though I'm MSE....

Been invited round to bf's for his housemates birthday and a takeaway but not sure I've got the energy and defo dont have the money, plus I really do fancy my pasta bake!!! lol

For clarity - it's not me

Wondered who'd been using my name :rotfl:

Welcome James.

Is every1 else still withdrawing their budget today on a bank holiday or waiting until 2moro? I'm going to withdraw mine today so I can get milk/eggs.

hope every1's well,
Jx

Morning Jet - Hope you all had a good nights sleep.
I'm not withdrawing mine today 'cos we are out with friends - all paid for - and I don't want to be tempted, but that's just me. If you need your shopping you're best getting it all out in one go I think.
Take care

Don't think I need to spend anything today as I did a big shop yesterday which saves me money in the end, means I don't have to keep popping to Tescos and getting tempted.

I spent 99p yesterday on a bunch of carnations for my mum as she isn't well. Feel kinda bad cos I normally would have bought a bigger bunch for nearer a fiver but begrudged the 99p, am I turning into a miser???!! :undecided
