First visit here since 12th
Decided to count 11th as an NSD, as the only purchase was a replacement for something that didn't arrive which I'd had the refund for, meaning...
11th : allowable spends only, so NSD #6
12th : no spends, so NSD #7
13th : allowable spends only, so NSD #8
14th : no spends, so NSD #9
15th : no spends, so NSD #10
16th : no spends, so NSD #11 - and 6 in-a-row :T
17th : non-allowable spends (bus fare to city to babysit GD4 for a couple of hours)
18th : allowable spends only, so NSD #12
19th : no spends, so NSD #13
20th : non-allowable spends (couple of junk food items, and coughed up for gas & electricity used on week away earlier this month)
21st : no spends, so NSD #14
I'm also allowing myself one more item as an allowable spend. Finances are such I've had to start looking for work desperately. If I need to pay for buses to get to an interview that's an essential I can't pre-plan, so it won't lose me an NSD - though if I need a bus to get to an interview it's going to be a bit away from home, so may well put in the vicinty of shops I can't normally get to which puts me at risk of losing the NSD anywayFirst interview is Thursday morning (was in a panic this morning trying to find something in my wardrobe to wear that was suitable and fitted, but finally managed it as I was about to give up and race down to the local charity shops), but it's close enough that I'm hoping the weather will hold up to allow me to cycle or walk (and do a quick clean-up and change in the ladies of a nearby supermarket).

Hope the interview goes well for you cw18. That's a great list of NDSs there :-)
AFM we made the NSD yesterday with allowable spends.(oyster top up )
That's 8/10 The joint account is looking healthy and there's plenty left in my pocket money account.
We have a housewarming/picnic to take DD to today so will need to pick up a little something on the way so no NSD expected today.
Also need to buy the car tax - boooo!
Happy Wednesday peeps

Today was NSD 16/20 :j:j:j
My post night shift early shift wasn't as traumatic as I thought. Woke up this morning without much trouble although I had a bit of a headache when I woke up which I feared would develop into a full blown migraine, but luckily it decided not to ruin my day and left me. My shift was busy but it made the day fly by and it was hassle free. One colleague commented that it's nice to see my usual cheery self. Awww. I was home before 4 pm and it was nice to come home without too much of a to do list. Was pleased when I saw that my hubby has defrosted chicken from the freezer, which meant he is planning to cook dinner. Who has kidnapped my OH and replaced with this extra nice gentleman? And oh marmite, I was wrong, he didn't have an ulterior motive last night. I just hope he still doesn't have one tonight either.
I have just reconciled the bank account and the money envelopes and I am happy to discover we still have £110 left in the grocery budget and £35 in the petrol budget. All in all we still have £232 in various envelopes. I am hoping we could stay well under budget and any left overs from the budget will be either paid into the cc or left in the envelopes to build a nice savings pot. 9 days to go before the end of the month...."There is Life AFTER DEBT."LBM 2009 Total Debt £49046.24 Debt Free as of 27/08/20150 -
Happy to declare today as a NSD. Did spend on switches and a lampshade ready for the next room renovation. Lampshade in the sale happily on a day with more money knocked off to take it under half price. Spends came out of the allocated budget happily saved up for this project.
