Morning everyone. Blimey it's a busy thread this week

Tues was a NSD, weds was a NSD, yesterday was a very big spend day. :eek:

Can't remember exact totals, but £7 something on contact lens solution and bottle of water. Then £22 something on some smellies for the house and some animal treats to be boxed up for a local charity. Every year at Xmas they request shoe boxes of food, bedding, treats and toys for the furries that don't have homes and as it breaks my heart I try and help out.

Will sort totals tomorrow but suffice to say I'm very red.

Hi and welcome pensionerpinchingpennies :hello:
All you need to do to join is post the amount you would like to stay below on next weeks thread, I normally set it up on Saturday and then post as often or as little as you want. Ill post a link to the new thread on here.

Had 2 successful NSD's Wednesday and Thursday, as went home to Wales to see the folks!!

Probably "made" money as the :A Bank of Dad :A did a shop in B&M for all the expensive household stuff and then magically filled my car with diesel as I'm picking my little bro up from London next week to save him doing it!
Daddy's are the best - even though I'm 26 - he still treats me like his baby girl!! Spoilt!!! :cool:

Just a haircut for me today - but my mate is doing it, so will take him a coffee and some of Mam's HM welshcakes and that should keep him happy for the morning!! Minimal spend on coffee, otherwise another NSD!!

Got lots to be getting on with as we've got a wedding tomorrow and then off on holiday next week with the family, so best get cracking!!

My update so far
Sunday: £4.65 swimming with smallest boy (he was free as a member) and £1.99 for running app- I'd got to the end if the free version and still going strong as it's cheaper than the gym
Monday £5.36 gerbil food
Tuesday £6.15 card and present for auntie, £2 sweets

Think that's it so far, this is becoming really interesting as I can see how all these little bits add up! At tfe start of the week I thought £25 was loads but actually I've nearly spent that in only three days!

Hi townses - this thread is absolutely brilliant for realising how all those little spends add up. Scary eh? Well done on your first week - it takes a while to get into the swing of realistic estimates....and sometimes life gets in the way and we still end up red :eek:

ETO, I thought from your earlier post it was going to be much worse than that :rotfl:

Well, I've had another frugal week of mostly NSDs. I did spend £2.40 on a train fare on Tuesday (the rest of it was paid using vouchers I had from delayed train compensation...)

I don't expect to spend anything today so hoping to be green - I'll check in later with an update

I went over my £25 budget by £10 this week, but then got back £60 I was owed.. I pledge £60 this week as I will be going away.

Verityemilia

Ok so ... £10 in the city turned to £29.00 ... New top :eek:

Will update total spends
