    Spent the day removing old plaster from a kitchen wall - too hot to be working, and at the weekend too:mad:

    A no-spend so far, but might have to treat myself to a bottle of wine:)

    Evening/morning all

    Spendy for me today, didn't go mad but since I'd splashed out on a (small) trifle, cheese roll and a chocolate bar .... I thought I'd treat myself to a four pack of loo roll...:rotfl:

    I know how to live :D

    Bit cooler here today - have a good weekend everyone.

    Back tomorrow
    Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.

    Am struggling to get any NSDs. This weekend has been very spendy! I am doing a supermarket shop later and so hopefully this will make it easier to get some NSDs in this week - making lunch at home and taking it into work, not going to the shops on my lunch, not buying rubbish food/treats at the tuck shop, etc.!
