    Yeah for me! Stuck to the birthday budget and came in £5 under so it is another NSD as a result as the day out birthday budget paid for coffee, parking, flowers, entrance fees and lunch - great planning worked well for budgeting. Great result!

    Managed to get day #5 for me hoorah! And didn't even need to use the 'I paid yesterday' card as I made lunch at home for us all before we went out, so I'm hoping to get another NSD over the weekend.

    Evening :wave:

    It's been a very busy week both workwise and socially in the Candlewick flat and am pleased it's all over and a long and hopefully relaxing weekend beckons :)

    I am now booking in meetings at work for late October / early November :eek: and I am increasingly hearing the 'C' word :eek:

    Yesterday, unfortunately, was a spend day due to unexpected work related expenses (again!).

    I desperately needed some new make-up as I was using the dregs of my foundation and lipstick (very MSE for me) and seeing as B*ots had 10 points per £1 if you spent £15 it seemed as good a time as any to buy what I needed (also had double points coupon :)). As it was a spend day I stopped off in S*insbury's on my way home to get some mushrooms, a bottle of wine (25% off) and butter (2 for £5) and also had a double points voucher. So, whilst a spendy day, it felt like it was in my favour (who am I kidding? :p ). I am now expecting the whole weekend to be spend free.

    Housework for me tomorrow especially if the weather is not going to be that great here. I still have a few days to reach my target!

    Can't decide if I'm better with the karrimor trainers I got yesterday, or asics trainers I spied today! Need to use them for zumba and running and cycling and workout dvds....


    EDIT:
    ...which I did :o
    But will be getting a refund of the karrimors (tomorrow) which will cancel that spend out. That ok still!?

    I reckon that works out ok. I have adidas trainers - actually went to a proper running shop to try some on, made a real difference having them fitted properly.
    Must be why I can't bake then ;) "chuck em" things work really well BUT sometimes it's frustrating if something's been really good & you can't remember quite what went in it :o

    It's even worse when you then get a request to make more of what you turned out, and can't quite remember what went in it :eek:

    NSD #7 today - really don't think I'll make target this month. However did get another 'C' prezzie sorted yesterday :T

    Day off today but ended up taking a friend to the airport, journey wasn't too bad going but total nightmare on the way back due to M25 + BH traffic. Oh well, good deed done for the weekend :A
