  • nsd 6 yesterday. Doing some careful planning today to work out my weekend spends and into next week. Have just updated my spending diary app and my spreadsheet. Have realised that somewhere along the line i have a small leak of money. Just trying to work out where it is trickling too. Next months budget is set on spreadsheet so i will be firmer still with my spends! Thanks for updating marmite.
    Kxc hope your month brightens. L2B.xxx

    Thanks! :)

    Hair cut due tomorrow but it is budgeted for so I shall not be counting that as a spend...going shopping with my mother beforehand though so any purchases from that will be counted as a spend...unless she decides to treat me of course!! :T:T:T

    Evening all, well I feel totally shattered, spent two days wrestling with a ton of spreadsheets which I finally kicked into shape and got the numbers I needed, coupled with some long conf calls, and the boiler repairman relieving us of a large sum of spondoolies for the return of heating and hot water and I'm pooped.

    Despite large boiler spend - I am not counting that as a personal spend, so NSD #4 in the bag. We did have takeaway for dinner but OH treated us :love:

    Hoping for a NS weekend but we'll see.
