    Oh Ick, was doing so well yesterday until I was sat on the train going home from work....OH text me two little words...

    "chippy tonight?"

    £4.10 later (from food budget at least!) and it's another non NSD for me

    AND then discovered that we had only one tea bag left. I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT TEA! So that's another spend for me at some point today. Unless I sneak a few from work, going to do a proper shop tomorrow so realised whilst typing that I could manage by sneaking 2 tea bags home from work for this evening & tomorrow morning, then buy more with the big shop? Genius! To make it fair, I will forego my usual 6+ cups of tea whilst at work today....does that make it fair!?

    I couldn't go without tea either, definitely legitimate to smuggle a couple of teabags home from work!

    agreed! although the tea at work is shockingly weak!

    so far so good, looking like a NSD to me. OH asked for a fiver this morning, he didnt get paid as much as he thought so his budgets fallen down this month. But I really can't afford to help him out, and its only for ciggies. not my problem!

    only really have money left for petrol this month myself.

  • Haha, thanks a bunch, nargleblast!

    It was NSD#1 for me yesterday :D Pleased for a decent start, but today was a spendy day right from the start with £35 spent on textbooks. Could have been much more expensive though, so no complaints here! Even so, I'm still hoping for a quiet weekend after that :p
