    I know I have a Library Fine to pay as I couldnt get there at the weekend as it was my birthday and was entertaining friends at a BBQ. I feel well enough to venture outdoors today so will return this and probally face a £1.50 fine

    Apart from this I intend on spending nothing and long may it continue

    Do your library not do renewals online? Might be worth enquiring when you go.

    I have youth club today so probably end up in the tuck shop to get through the session!
  • Stupidly promised my son and his friends that I would take them to Drayton Manor tomorrow (250 mile round trip) they have all paid for their own tickets but i forgot to factor in the petrol I need to get us there and back. So filling the car up is going to cost me £40 give or take a few £'s :(

    Hi all,

    It's another NSD for me! Yippie! I'm going to try and make it five days in a row!

    And I'm pleased to say that I've not bought a book since Harry Potter, which in true MSE :money: way I waited until it came out to take advantage of the price war!! :T

    lets keep it low!

    £4.80 in Somerfield on some essential Slimming World bits. I can see this is going to get expensive!

    Just made the mistake of blowing £2-50 in the crappy canteen :o I decided I'd eat there on a wed as I don't get a dinner until late as I'm out after work. Bad idea ... Today was macaroni and cheese... yum I thought... but no it tasted (and I use the term VERY loosely) of onion :eek: and nothing else. How is it possible to get mac and cheese wrong? :mad: Even I can manage that one ok and I really can't cook :rotfl:

    Will prob end up buying something crappy for tea instead now ........ :mad:

    NSD for me,
    collegue gave me her lunch cos she went to the bakery (my purse left at home again), also off to Granma's for dinner so I can add an extra day to my meal plan!

    Got a letter from Abbey today, they have charged me £20 for taking away my overdraft in July without warning! It doesn't come out til 24th so I think I'll shout at them! See if I can get it back!

  • I've been really good today. Had to shop, but only bought £7.80 worth of food, so that came out of the grocery budget, so I can count another NSD for this challenge! I was very tempted to get a bottle of cider, but no it's not needed.....well maybe it is, but I can't afford it.

    Hi all - spent £1.04 on postage and £2.20 for 2 coffees whilst having a wander round the market in town. Also spent £8 on food but this is budgeted for, as was filling my petrol tank up - so a total of £3.24 today
    Have nice evenings all x

    I spent £1.90 today, but then locked my purse in the safe at work. Broke the lock key (half in / out of the safe lock) and locksmith can't do a thing until he has a new barrel / shaft thingy to replace it with - so I'm going to have lots of NSDs until I get my purse back!
