NST November: battening down the hatches!

bobs_burgers

Evening all,

NSD yesterday and today for me. Love this weeks challenge. I have so many places that need de-cluttering! The OH has loads of his mates staying soon, so I need to start getting everything organised so that the house is tidy and clutter free for them invading. Think I'm going to tackle a room/cupboard a night after work

Hoping to get a couple of NSD's in this week instead of buying toast in work. I've set my alarm for 15 minutes earlier as even if I have to eat breakfast on the go, it gives me enough time to at least make something

Off to try and make some veg soup to take to work for lunch tomorrow. Hope everyone has had a good weekend

Lost second SFD of weekend as had to get milk for football this morning, put change in the Poppy Appeal so £1 in total spent. Managed to get one yesterday though so have 4 under my belt now.


Love decluttering challenge, much needed here at the moment and feels worse than usual as Xmas stuff everywhere, but if I can clear the unwanted stuff for CS then I can wrap and store pressies properly. Will have to do it this week, am losing my oomph to do anything lately though, need to give myself a good talking too, I think! Hope you've all had a good weekend, off to have a bit of family time before DSs go to bed and we're back to the grind of another week......

Officially debt-free as of today! Down from over £13k in 2011 (made up of loan for house deposit and loan for car). :j Will now be putting extra money that has been used to pay off debt every month towards mortgage over-payments.

Was doing so well today but just about an hour ago I persuaded DH to buy a nice warm hoodie & trousers from Sp*rts D!rect, then found some garden shoes and a ladies basketball top & shorts I loved. Totally unnecessary spend Kind of hoping they'll come up to small and I'll have to return.

Oh well. Tomorrow should be better. Have listed a few items on Fleabay as part of my decluttering. One has already been bid on, but all end on Thurs. Fingers crossed!

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days.
Friday ,went to Tesc* Didn't spend too much :-)Will find receipt and update totals later.
Saturday, hospital visiting. Had a cuppa and shared a piece of cake with my sister.Cost £2.80 but she gave me a lift home so saved on cab money.
Today,after reading this weeks challenge,did a bit of decluttering. 100 free listings on e-b*y this weekend so have listed a few crafty bits. Also a NSD.
Off to do a bit of tidying up and to watch the final episode of Downton.
Will catch up properly tomorrow.

Today was another SFD. Went into town to a free gallery with the kids and window shopping. Glad I didnt bring my wallet as I saw a few top.

DD first teeth cut through so should be an interesting night.

Busy decluttering etc tomorrow but better go now DD is stirring.

Well done to Samiszel on your debt freedom

Spent £69 of food budget so running total of £141/£300.

Filled car up £52, over budget of £30 but will last well into next month as I use so little.

Well done samiszel!!
speakingofart I have spare decluttering if you get bored!

I had a small spend today, I'll update my signature in a minute. Lunch is made ready for uni tomorrow and unless it's chucking it down I plan on walking so that will be my exercise. I'm not taking any money with me either so fingers crossed for my 1st NSD.
