Good morning everyone!

Yesterday I had a training day out so spent £5.77 altogether on my coffee and some treats! Naughty but nice!

Hoping for a NSD today. Won't be leaving home so unless I buy something online it's not going to happen and need to prepare myself for the paying off £15 000 in 2013 challenge and need to work on the discipline issue! I've been good for a few weeks but that was mostly because I didn't have much money to spend. Now after payday it's more difficult. Good luck everyone!

Cheers
Casper

1st spends for me:

Fuel: £0 / £40
Groceries: £18.30 / £40 - decided not to use the £4 off £40 spend as really don't need that much. Hoping this should see me through to the weekend!:)
Trolley: £0 / £25
Misc: £2.98 / £7 - a couple of things just seemed to jump into my basket again:rotfl: (those bloomin' cookies;) and some sweeties!:o) - came to £2.58 but had 2 x 20ps in the change so have added them as a spend & they've gone in the jar!:)

So ... £21.28 / £112
