    Everything is taken care of though,and I have my grocery budget set aside.It does make life more simpler really.Should be a doddle...:cool:

    I'm keeping all cards under lock and key at home.:)

    Today will be spendy.

    Today is NSD #3 for me...

    Friday was not as we did not realise friends (to whom we were going for MSE evening of dinner and drinks) wanted take away & had not cooked! So spend on a bottle of wine to take AND take away

    Saturday I went MENTAL and bought wedding stuff (wanted to organise some bits for it & it was cheap stuff & from allocated budget but still....not necessary just yet)

    Then Sunday bought food for dinner as we were uninspired by our fridge! naughty naughty!

    Re-jigging of budgets required to take these into account but don't think we spent anything over budget, just means food budget will be tight this month...hey ho!

    I've been missing again due to another mad week last week! I've only managed to snag NSD#1 so far because I'm totally disorganised! On the 1st my brother and his fianc! came for tea so we had to shop for bits. On Wednesday I had a job interview (didn't get it) and had to buy lunch on my way back to work, Thursday I had a day in another school and then had to buy celebratory tea when I got the job. Friday involved buying picnic things for a long day for The Tour on Saturday when I contributed to parking. Yesterday was a NSD and today I bought lunch! Tomorrow I will do better!

    No NSD here, i went WILD in the shops, WILD I tell you...

    1) bottle of shampoo in 99p store - reduced to 50p :money: It was translated into something like 'No Fall' which i think is supposed to be Volume, dunno, my arabic isn't that good :rotfl:

    2) Toothpaste (had to cut current tube in half this morning) and Simple face scrub in £world

    3) 7 cards for £1 in Card F@ctory - use these for the bazillion nieces and nephews we have, in their case its not the thought that counts, its the contents in the card :p
