    So made it out of Mr Ts with not too much damage done :o

    Sun - NSD
    Mon - NSD ish (spent £3 on lunch but claiming it back:))
    Tues - NSD
    Wed - £12.40 Mr T

    Total - £12.40/£30
  • Sun - 99p (song on iTunes)
    Mon - £6.21
    Tue - Earned £4.93 from eBay sale
    Wed - NSD


    So even tho I spent over my £5 budget I earned back some money from selling an item on eBay bringing my total left for the week at £2.73...
    I dont think thats gonna buy 5 easter presents.

    Also re: the whole thing with payments not showing up on your account until later- I totally hate that! I normally go to a cash point and get cash out before going back to buy an item.

    Super feel good points for this:
    1. extra exercise
    2. time thinking if I actually need an item
    3. handing over 'real' money makes it seem more real
    4. it shows up on your account straight away.

    Morning all :) Sorry i have been Awol! Been manic busy down the school with all the easter bits we have to do by lunch time today.

    I am not sure bit by bit of what i have spent my money on this week as i have been spending my own plus schools money for bits for disco, easter hunt. But i do know i am still within my £40 target, but only have a few pennies left of it.

    I will count it all later and see where i stand. Can chill after today :) But then have my 3 babies at home for 19 days :/ So maybe not that much chilling can be done :)

  • Hi!

    Was doing so well until I spent £9.68 on 2 books I had pre-ordered and completely forgot about! DOH!

    Sun ~ NSD
    Mon ~ NSD
    Tues ~ £9.68
    Wed ~ NSD
    Thu ~ NSD
    Fri ~ NSD
    Sat ~ I'm hoping for a NSD.

    I'm working from 6pm Sat to 7am Sunday morning so am staying in till I have to leave for work. Don't know if I'll be able to update Sat or Sunday (will probably be asleep lol) so can I please pledge £10.00 again for next week and declare £9.68 for this week. If it changes at all I'll update it, if that's ok. Am hoping it doesn't lol!

    Thanks so much ETO

    Have a great easter everyone!

    Cheers
    Casper
