I've had a pleasant day and work and not got my purse out for anything:#10 has been captured.:)

Hope you're all having a pleasant,non-spendy (if possible!;)) weekend.

kerri that's great that you've gone ahead and booked the holiday.I hope that re-organizing your budget isn't too much of a headache.

Well I trundled off up to the highest diving board, took a deep breath and launched myself into the spendiest day I have had for nearly 6 months. But by heck I enjoyed it
That's it for another 6 months. :rotfl:

NSD run well and truly blown :eek:

beanielou

What did you get then?

Lol Beanie :rotfl:
I didn't get anything of any importance. I just restocked my cupboards and freezer, filled the car to the top with diesel and tretaed us all to a MacD's. I managed to spend over £200 :eek: (there might have been a little Mr A clothing item in there too )
In my defence, I haven't done that for 6 months and i had to shut the freezer drawers with my foot :rotfl: I will not need any more food for a very long time.:o:o

Hi @NSD Family, i hope people are doing well and hugs for any who need them.
put me down for 5 NSD's as I mustn't spend before Payday a week away.
As usual I have done a Bargain month as I spent £159 on the upfront costs for retina display Ipad, 16gb which ideally would have been 32gb for reasons for space for apps, music ,photos etc.
I will aim to participate 2 weeks at a time as that will help me budget.
So in order to make the budget this Ipad month, NO books from Amazon, no 99p bargains, it would be extremely rare to download a bargain because it would have to be on Wishlist and extremely important as a book to do so.
Apps spends: I hate ads and though I won't be considered 'mse' I would rather pay for apps than be pursued by advertisers with their accompanying surveillance.
Essential shop: I managed a Tesco shop of £20 + and another of £50 the most modest shops I have ever done. (should have done waitrose shop at that spend or online).
I had to get a cover for Ipad, actually I got 2 both work so perhaps I will sell one? at least Ipad is safe. I can't bear to have techonology unprotected and it is a good investment.
I will give away Iphone 3gs now obsolete to family with box and plugs so it can be reused repaired etc and sort out B phone perhaps with a cheap but decent samsung brought outright for a cheap PAYG for all undesirables functions and keep Galaxy note for A phone.
yours in budgetary prudence and enjoyment xx:beer::beer:

I visited the Apple Store in Westfield a regular haunt as it's en route to my route home, and asked about a deal.
The deal I got which was from Three was one that was going fast and I was lucky to have nabbed as upfront costs were more expensive and would have cut too much from my abstinence budget than I was willing to manage.
Three had the best deal and by the grace of god I literally got it and have made my upfront payment successfully so it leaves me just 24x £30 to make to fulfill contract. Now I can facetime my family and have a new thing with them with no worries about skype where they have identities but are never there.
