Didn't manage an SFD today, needed to get bread and fruit for DD pack lunch. Spent £4.81 in Te5c0. Also it was budgeted for and I thought OH was going to pay it, but I ended up paying for DD ballet class too, so £4.50 spent there. Still it all comes in for under a tenner so not bad.
I posted my work expenses off today so should hopefully see the princely sum of £620 hitting my account next week. Half of it is destined for OH's credit card, but the other half is cash reimbursement for me.
Did my mystery shop (worth £15) and applied for another one paying £50, but on closer inspection of the T&C's I don't think I'll qualify

I can't believe it's day 5 already. Had a NSD today taking my total to 3, so going steady towards the 25 target. Hoping the rest of the week should be spend free too, as I've bought everything I need. Will need some petrol soon but will plan to get that when I next need to top up milk. I'm going to start buying the long life milk so I don't end up running out.
Off to bed now and hope you all sleep well too.
Hoping to get some cleaning done tomorrow and might do a bit more de-cluttering and get some more stuff to the charity shop.NSK Zombie # SFD 7/15 Food Bank £0/£5

Howdy,
A good day for me with no spends at all. Also went to the gym. Moneysaving wise I chopped a larger jiffy envelope in half for a dvd I have to post and taped it up. Will have to still buy postage tomorrow though but at least Amazon factor that in. 7 days until I head to France so I am going to make sure that all my veg is cooked up and frozen ready for when I get back.

THE BEST NEWS I HAVE READ TODAY!!! NSK is coming back to run the december challenge!!!
:j
Evening folks. I am afraid I fell asleep last night whilst reading the posts so wasn't able to write an update.
So... in stewby news: As I predicted, been very lazy after work so I have had another two spend days. That is FOUR this month.
Also, I have agreed to do another shift tomorrow (just a half shift though, working in the afternoon). This means that not only do I get a long lie tomorrow, I also make my £80!!
Hope everyone is having a great day. Oh, and happy birthday eyes wide open.

SFD number 5 for me. The stores are still doing well so I should make it until next week before I have to spend again.
Did some decluttering of a bookcase and have a couple of things to go to a charity shop. Got the day off tomorrow so will try and do some more, I think I have some more shoes that I can clear out.
Due to working later I get an unsociable hours allowance, that should pay some towards my £80. I've also boxed up 27 DVD's to go to webuy and should get £21 and change from that.
I forgot it was recycling day today so had to set an alarm to get up and put out my box. So I'm going to head into work earlier so that I can get home earlier and do some chores around my flat.Feb NST #4
