    Checking in to say we've had one meal out for £30, but we hadn't had date night in agggges!
    Other than that I've been very good.
    I booked my online craft stall for £5 x 2 for 2 different stalls, one is my new online haberdashery and it's taken me 2 days to list all the different fabrics I own. The other is my handmade bags and purses :)
    I had to buy some stock for my haberdashery, but that was budgeted for :)

    So all in all it's going ok this month, I'm not doing any of the normal things I do as I knew I had an expense for the stock, so no climbing until April :(

    Kerri - online craft stall...is that like etsy or booking online for a craft stall? I am always looking for outlets and haven't done much online selling. Hope you don't mind me asking and tell me mind my own if you do!

    I'm part of an online community called creative connections (which is free). http://creative-connections.ning.com/ There's a regular online craft fair, the last one was Christmas. I think it's quarterly and the footfall is increasing with each one. :)

    Today will NOT be SFD due to bad planning, so I might as well report in now. will update budget once the spending is over, it should only be a low amount but a waste of a spend day. Mancman, I hope you enjoy your takeaway after NSK's ticking off! That girl's fierce, lol.

    Oh, I was planning to get on to selling some crafts. I think I need to sell everything unecessary on eBay as a priority but once that is sorted I'll check you site out. Thanks!

    *singing* I think I know what Mayfair's up to! *singing*
    But I sharn't say, so as not to jinx it, but I'm pretty sure it's not Deal or No Deal. Good luck!

    Today is a SFD- I had a meeting for work and so had to pay for petrol, but i get that back on expenses. I also took the opportunity to have a fancy lunch from M&S as this is also covered by expenses. 2 salads for £4, which sounds lots (it is) but most of their sandwiches cost £3-4 anyway. I managed to resist the yum-yums too so feeling quite virtuous.

    I think Mayfair needs to spill the beans before we all go mad trying to guess...

    Am off to view a house today... fingers crossed!!! :):):)
