Hi all!

I managed two NSD this week, not my best but not my worst either!

I am really excited though because I went to The Range with Mom earlier (she wanted a new washing up bowl) and saw giant noticeboards - I've been after one for the craft room for about a year but they were £30 on eBay (only place I could find big enough) and this one was only £4.99. So although I hadn't planned to spend it, such a big saving I couldn't resist. :cool:

Did put £7.98 into sealed pot so carrying £10 over

Now I also feel like I cheat a little as on Thursday I purchased a bin for the bathroom and some more paint samples but took money from my maternity savings. (Not much of that left) now they were misc spends but as I didn't want to go over from this budget I took it from elsewhere, so really just lying to myself about what Im spending. So will try and be more honest and if I buy something then it has to be accounted for.
