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!Debt Free I FFEF I Building Savings I 2025 Plan:- Regular Savings £9,000/£10,000

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!NSDs January - 3/8 2017 total - 3

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 cardmarmiterulesok wrote: »I have now sorted out my finances for July.I'm pleased to say that I'm not in the red.However,my current account total is a lonely,single figure.:eek:
