    Oh yeeeaahhh....hello updated signature! Long way to go yet though...

    and DILEMMA!!:eek:

    Need to buy petrol soon AND essential make up (starting to look like I just woke up - all of the time!)

    I could easily have another NSD today as the petrol will last until tomorrow. But then is there any point in that when really I could do with the make up today?! And will hoping for NSD 2 today delay what I hope to be an amazing run of NSD's over the weekend & into next week?????????????????????????

    what to do, what to do....

    also, work is currently making me feel like this - :mad: - so a trip out of the office at lunch may be a welcome interval

    Petrol could be an essential spend,and the make-up an emergency spend,ie essential ? ;)

    No, my rule is anything that is a movable spend (i.e. not set in stone each month or coming out of funds saved up specifically for that one off purchase, such as car insurance etc) is a spend. My NSD's are quite literally NSD's (apart from days DD's go out, I don't count that as a spend)

    The make up spend is going to have to come out of my emergency slush fund though, which I had hoped I could carry over to next month but it turns out I really do need make up on this mug! otherwise I look like this - _pale_

    hmph!

    Sounds like an nsd to me.

    Was all moot anyway as bought myself the new Stephen King book, but had decided I wouldn't count it as a NSD anyway (if I hadn't bought the book) so I have to make it through more in June.

    Hoping today WILL be NSD, no planned spend. Tomorrow... not so sure... nothing I need, but it's Friday and, well, wine!

    I should have been more canny with my planning and bought the wine yesterday. Heehee.

    DS1's filled the car with liquid gold while out (£50 worth after waving his sister's clubc@rd in order to get a 12p/litre saving), but will be deducting the cost from the mileage money he owes me from last month's car use.

    I can still declare today as NSD #3 though, as that's the only spend from my budgets and I made petrol an allowable spend when I lost total control of how it's used.
