Work has kept me busy so I have had a whole week of NSDs so far.

Tomorrow is likely to be a big spend day though. I'm hoping to keep within my £50 allocated spend so I don't go into the red this week.

ETO, I think driving is fine and you'll probably be glad you did, if it's that or public transport in this weather! .

I'm so happy it's the weekend :T.

Can't declare my week just yet as am out tonight but really hoping not to spend too much.

And will work out my plans and spends for next week tomorrow.

Hope to see you all over on the new thread.

I had a zero-spend week :j

I think is must be the first time in years that I have achieved this . It was partly down to work getting very busy and then the weather meaning that we stayed in, rather than due to being good . I'm still very pleased though!

Well done cookie. Great result. :j:j Doesn't matter how you got it the fact that you stayed away from the shops is fab. I've been doing this a number of years and I'm yet to have a week where I don't spend anything.

Anyway yesterday I remembered I needed photos for my new driving licence, old one expires this month. So that was £5.

And my plan to drive to the party last night worked as I didn't spend anything. hubby bought me a couple of drinks and then he ended up in rounds so I got bought a couple by friends too. So hubby spent a fortune and I ended the week green. :rotfl:

Final spends £36.77 / £50 :j:j
