    Hi greet024.gif,remember me??
    I haven't spent alot since last posting (still very well within monthly budget),but each day there seems to be SOMETHING needing money (yesterday all I needed was a packet of chocolate hobnobs icon_eek.gif.Um, :rotfl:).
    Still today was NSD #13.
    Working quite hard for the next couple of days,so might just have a couple of allowable spends.
    I hope everyone is keeping well.

    Aaaaaaaand....

    I only went and did it :D

    Today was NSD #22, and 15 in-a-row :T
    Of those 15 days only 3 had allowable spends (fresh milk and/or fresh veg), and that's amazed me almost as much as the stretch I managed.....

    Not a feat I'm going to be able to repeat until Feb or March of next year though, as my Council Tax normally goes out smack bang in the middle of the month :(

    Tomorrow should see my last D/Debit of the month go out, and will be a shopping day (a few bits and pieces of non-allowable foodstuffs to get, 2 lots of meat and a birthday present to pay DD back for when I pick them up, a mobile phone contract to be sorted, a christening present to order on-line as I can't get from where I've always got from in the past, possibly some bits for my Spanish walk, and a shelf to then be put up in a property I have use of for free holidays at the owners request). Not sure if I'll be filling my fuel tank or not yet as it depends on how low DS1's run it since I last used the car 12 days ago, but I suspect I may have to after I've done the return trip to DD's otherwise he may not get to work and back next week without it being done in the next few days anyway.

    Claiming NSD #13 for Sunday, #14 for Monday and #15 for today. Had bun sales yesterday for my 2 youngest so £2 each was handed out for those 2, think for next year I'm going to have an allowance pot for the 6 weeks of Lent for School as they are raising money for Trocaire. I might actually start that starting this Sunday, as there's more un sales coming up, aswell as a jumble sale, non-uniform day, crazy hair day and a movie afternoon coming up for that, all £1-£2 each :s
    Anyhow seeing as I had given that money yesterday I decided to pay off a catalogue bill that I'm pretty certain I paid off last month, and bought myself a new coat, was £20 down to £5 :D

    But I'm still happy I've hit my target and hoping to squeeze another 2 in if possible.
