    Hi all,


    Been awol the last week due to being stuck in bed (eating lots of choc and ice cream :() Luckily bf bought this as I was so bad, so at least I had 5 NSD's!!!


    Bought milk 2*4 pints and 6 *eggs £3.50 from local shop on Mon, then yesterday went to town with dm and got bananas and nat yog from [EMAIL="ic*l@nd"]ic*l@nd[/EMAIL] (only had onk*n) £5.72! :eek: Will add totals to sig now.


    Got a hosp app. today 30 miles away, so Bf and I have had a large breakfast of hm banana pancakes, nat yog and chopped banana. So FULL now, hopefully will be ok with a small sandwich from home for lunch. If this theory works will be a no spend day.


    Have BBQ pulled pork, rolls, wedges (all hm) and salad for tea. Then blueberry jelly for kids pudding.

    Hello everyone

    Just a quick post. I had another nsd yesterday so that's five in a row! This challenge is really keeping me on tract. Have to get fuel today but no food, so it should be another nsd for me (I'm only counting my food budget in this challenge, but I haven't spent any money at all!)

    I need to grab a few bits and bobs today but I'm setting myself a £5 budget for it.
    I'm going to spend the morning baking a quiche and biscuits to last the next few days. Then off to work.

    Good luck with the NSD

  • I feel like its all running away from me again. Upto £295 for this month, really frustrated with myself. Not over budget though so hopefully can have a really low spend this week.

    How do you all cope with managing low spends along with working and looking after a family, I am finding it impossible to be organised enough not to get expensive top ups and then reach for convienience foods as I just don't have time to cook.

    On a positive I sold me first ebay things this week - £35 whoop whoop into my savings ;)
