    Debt-free and Proud!
    Another nospendday today. It is my wife's payday, so easily tempting but I'm resisting.

    Didn't make breakfast this morning, so had an apple instead. Not ideal but better than ruining my 9-in-a-row run (I'm at 5-in-a-row so far).

    Wife made me a packed lunch at least so I enjoyed a sandwich while trying to ignore the smell of fish and chips wafting through the building. Wasn't easy but I did it!

    We're going to have some chilli tonight from the freezer and only had a glass of wine last night so have 2/3rds of a bottle left.

    Wife will no doubt go random shopping (clothes etc) on the weekend with her pocket money, but I won't be joining her and I've asked her not to buy food as we don't need it. I've got a fair bit of work and a couple of days to go until I can spend anything. Plenty of food, wine, etc in the house, absolutely no need to buy anything for next week.
    Debt free, moved, got new stuff for the new flat - got everything I wanted and need - now just saving.
