I am sorry to hear you were upset by hearing something horrible about someone you know well, or thought you knew well!


Try to rest and enjoy your weekend x

I always knew he had a dark side we didn't see.

I went walking with a friend and had a meal which to be honest was a bit rubbish. (£28). I did a shop for snacks too £8.00. Ive given a £15 donation to charity via cc.

I have £5 left till end of the week which is fine as I am not expecting to spend anything. I am taking tonight off.

In total this month, I have spent £110 net cash (once my ebay earnings have been added in) of which £65 on food, going out, fun and transport and £45 was spent on eating out with friends and to be honest i didn't really enjoy the food so i am going to stop doing it in February but will have drinks instead. I have had 14 NSDs so far.

I have put an extra £100 in my xmas fund and think i can put an extra £100 into savings at the end of the month.

Today is Sunday and it has rained for most of the day. I have taken the entire weekend off and today was a NSD. Four days till payday I am proud of myself. I think I have restricted my spending by a hundred pounds this month.

That's not too bad.

That's good, anything extra helps.

I had a hospital appointment and my total spend today was £13.00 including taxi fare and a home d!cor book from the charity shop.

I am v tired now as I had to drink pints of water before the scan and I get so tired from the anaemia.

I had to watch my Dd going through that with the scans for her 2 little ones - the scan technician doesnt seem to hurry while you can be in agony from all that water sloshing about. Hope all is well now and you are picking up a bit. Look after yourself and maybe a banana instead of the chocolate

I hope DD is ok Ginny. My nurse and dr person were lovely so I felt v fortunate I just get tired v quickly as I am a bit of a wimp now. lol.

Yesterday I spent £3 on collection for a friends leaving present. Today was a NSD.

This month I have an extra £200 in my account leftover as I tried to minimise my spending. I will put £100 into savings and I put £100 in my Christmas fund.

I will also save the usual £150 on payday. Everything else is chucked to the mortgage £750 + £500 (rent from LL).

Hurrah it is payday my wages have gone up by £20 almost!!!! I am going to save the rise. Today was a NSD. I am going to try to have a NSM. We shall see.

It is raining terribly outside. I am planning on staying in tomorrow in case my fancy new bag comes from facebay. Fingers crossed. I will do my marking to pass the time.

All being well this weekend will be a cheap one. My parents are coming. I am sooooo happy it is the weekend and I have been paid. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.

My fancy bag has come. It is a bit smaller than I thought but v nice and I will still use it. It's nice to have a black bag to go out.

Today is a NSD. I have done lots of marking. I am taking the rest of today off.

I haven't been invited to one of my friend's significant parties. Dave Ramsay and the moneysaving bloggers do say that your friendships change during your moneysaving journey and this is an example. We have just grown apart. At my age you just move on. No regrets at all.
