    Morning all,

    Where are theses days and weeks going?!

    My food budget is fine but my
    personal budget is massively blown and there are quite a few spends on my everyday credit card that need to be paid off :( Wednesday is payday for me so looking forward to shuffling the money and making a small dint in the debt, this month seems to have just been one spend after another.

    Yesterday I was happy because I caught up with my extended family. I was frugal because I shared a gift for the birthday person with my sisters and split the cost and I was kind because I helped my sister out.

    Have a good day, it looks like a sunny one here :)

    Good morning!

    Hope we all had a good weekend.

    I got my shopping in yesterday so I’m going to for 4 NSD’s. Achievable. Today will be my first.

    What has made me happy?
    Having a chilled out Sunday. Set me up for the week ahead.

    One thing I done for someone else?
    On Saturday I bought my GF a lovely healthy lunch in a new place in Glasgow and she really appreciated it. Was nice to make her smile and treat her.

    Frugal tip?
    (I might have said this before) Soup!! It’s super healthy and is just water and some basic ingredients.

    Have a tremendous day everyone.

    Hello, fellow frugalites.

    Had a great weekend for DH birthday. Not so good for my liver or my bank account. Luckily the weather held out and we had a lovely bbq with quite a lot of meat left over (friends brought some too) for the freezer. Might skip the gym today though.

    Quick post from me.

    Raided coin jar - 25 pounds put into my bank act to keep me afloat rest of this month and robbed 50 pounds from my EF.

    Had to spend today bunny bedding as it was cold last night.

    Bought a dress for wedding in August online, had 5 pound voucher and 25% off plus quidco so cost 30 pounds, nice and lacey. - not happy with what I was going to wear bit too silky and clingy. So put me on naughty step, rest of the month.

    Runs off holding head in shame..............

    Had a spendy day yesterday - bought a card for my gran's birthday plus got a few bits towards my sister's wedding present. Today has been a NSD, work was rubbish a proper don't get paid enough to deal with this !!!! type day and I was very tempted to go to the shop after work and get chocolate. But bypassed the shops and found some chocolate raisins in the cupboard which I had instead.

    Happy - finishing work and getting home
    Kind - honestly don't think I've done anything kind today :o will make more of an effort tomorrow

    Hi All

    Pretty pleased with my LSD today. Little Ones nappies are on offer at only £3. So I used £2.50 in nectar points to buy them. So only 50p parted with. Sings 'if you're stingy and you know it clap your hands'

    Have a great monday evening all.

    Bob

    Misstara - this is one household where there would never be any chocolate raisins just waiting to be found in a cupboard!
