  • A quick check in. SFD today. Did some foraging in the sunshine and made some apple jelly, also froze some blackberries and cooked apples for later use. Made a lovely choc tart which did not get eaten! huh. Just realised I should have made bread instead, as there's only scraps left, but too late now. Don't worry, I won't be buying any as I have to have SFDs now till Thursday.

    Hope everyone has a great week. X

    So a quiet, restful SFD for me. Added bonus, my daughter unexpectedly brought home leftover curry from work, so I did not have to cook and an extra days food lefy before needing to buy groceries.

  • Is it really Monday already :(

    I am so pleased with myself. Can't believe I got through an entire weekend without spending any money at all. Unfortunately this will be ruined by a spend day today as I need petrol but then the rest of the week should hopefully be spend free.

    SFDs 4/20
    Food budget £35.39/ £180
    Lunches to work 5/18
    No eating out 0/31

    Morning everyone! Off to work soon, but no spend yesterday but today will be, as DS's phone credit that should have been bought on friday, will be bought today. Other than than nothing-oh actually fiol, that i forgot to get with my main shop. Does the foil count :( On the plus side, I have my home made chicken and cheese pizza wrap to look forward to at work. I'll let everyone else at work spend in Pr3t if the so wish :) Keep it up everyone :T

    Sfd yesterday number 3. Today is a spend day due to a town hall visit.
    Resisting greggs for lunch, it's no where near that time so no need for it.
  • A real quick check in 2 SFD's from the weekend, Didn't go out anywhere.
    Have to buy a few essentials today, feeling a little disorganised, need to get a grip!!!!
    On the plus side got a letter from Mr Tax OH is owed £325, they are going to sent a cheque! Wont get too excited till its in my bank but that's a third off MIL debt!!! and my IPhone lives!! Whooo!!

    Have a good Day everyone!
  • Was looking through an old memory stick for something and I found my old spreadsheet. This is really motivating me not to spend money as I don't want to have to enter anything on my spreadsheet!

    have stopped bringing money into work too and have now had three no spend days in a row. Really pleased with myself :) Planning another no spend day today but tomorrow will be a spendy day as my fridge is empty.
