    Small spends today, 4 meals worth of meat from the butcher (£5), and some potatoes and noodles (to the princely sum of £1.60).

    Last of the big spenders :rotfl:

    Going for NSD tomorrow as I will be using the change from the £10 withdrawn today to get kitchen roll only. So long as that goes to plan as I took the money out today, today is the only loss of money day. Also plan to hide from the window cleaner till payday on thurs as I don't have a spare £3!:)

    Good Luck for tomorrow all :beer:

    Good morning Spoony, you are up late :)

    NSD 7 please,

    Having had 3 spendy days in a row, Monday, Tues and Wed, my cupboards are a bit more prepared for munchie attacks, and my plan is for no more than 1 spendy between now and next Wednesday.

    Thanks all for updates.

    Spendy day Wednesday - petrol and groceries. Spent £10ish on food ... extravagant, I know:) It was at Mr T, and I got one of those price promise 'you could have saved' vouchers, and as I always make a point of reimbursing them straight away (so I don't forget to use it) I went back into the store and got 4 yoghurts for a grand total of 6 pence.

    Yesterday was spends on train fare (but work-related so I'll be reimbursed for that) and Mum's birthday pressie (for which I'd already budgeted), so I'm classing it as an NSD, so

    NSD 4 :T


    I'm aiming for number 5 today, but will report back on progress later.

    Enjoy the sunshine, everyone:j
