Hello
Today is 8/18NSD I am going to be having a few now I think as OH has asked his parents if we can borrow some money towards a house deposit -EEK!! It all depends on if we can get a 5% mortgage though if not we will need to save a little longer - i dont want to get too excited yet til we've spoke to bank

Hope everyone is having a good day !

Well,today I really fell off the nsd wagon,and spent a lot on mostly unneeded items.One item was arguably a need,but an extravagent one at that.

This has been happening quite a bit recently,and I usually raid my 'budgets' account to get the money.I'm not really sure why this is happening now.

Next month is going to be very tight.

I do have a lot of money saved up,so in theory,there isn't a problem about finding the money for these spends.I am really 100% against using my savings to fund needless purchases.So,as I say,next month will be ..interesting...:eek:

Enough about me.

Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!:j:j:j

NSD 12 today

Food shop done out of food weekly budget.
New toaster bought to replace fused one out of household appliances budget savings account.Very pleased I have built up this account and it came under the £20 I set aside for the spend. Thank goodness for budgeting and planning!

Well, if it's any comfort to you that makes two of us

Yesterday was NSD #9

Today was always going to be a spend day due to CT D/Debit.

I also had some money off vouchers for books for my K0bo that expired at 5am this morning, so just after midnight (and before I turned in) I got myself 3 books on the Camino de Santiago - definitely more a want than need, but lighter to carry when I'm off on the walk.

This afternoon I nipped to the shops for a couple of grocery items I needed - and ended up spending way more than I should have on 'wants' which were mostly junk food :eek:

After I got home I checked out some stuff I've had in my Amaz0n basket for a while.... 5 second hand DVDs (all the Herbie films for under £8 total incl postage), a pair of swimming goggles (smaller and lighter than the ones I've been using, but nothing wrong with the ones I have which makes these definitely a want - hoping small/light enough to be able to take them to Spain as there are pools along the route for relaxation time but I need goggles as I wear contacts in the water), a keychain that holds 4 SD cards (I [strike]lose[/strike] misplace the cards in normal boxes, but this can be attached to my camera case meaning I shouldn't do that anymore), an SD card (the only ones I can find are too big a capacity for my DSLR to handle and I'm fed up of it being out of action while I'm hunting down the 2 I already have 'somewhere'), and a multi-USB charger - about the only thing I can class as a need. Power points on the Camino are at a premium, I'm taking 5 appliances that charge by USB plus a battery charger, and I currently have a 2 slot USB charger which is low output and very bulky or a lighter / more compact 1 slot that is also slow. The one I've ordered is faster (just over twice the speed if all slots are in use) and 4 slots, which hopefully means I'll generally be able to let other people use slots in it (can't see me generally needing more than 2 at the same time, and very rarely more than 3) which should mean others will be more tolerant when I need a second socket for charging batteries for my camera
