    So I owe my partner the money from last night’s trip to see Finding Dory. I’m paying him as soon as I have a spend day (tomorrow if not today) to keep my NSDs in check. Is that cheating?
    I withdrew the M10AD challenge money from the bank and put £5 in my SPC#9 pot and the rest into a holding pot; hoping I won’t touch it if it’s out of sight and not calling to me from the ATM. Haha!

    I’ve been up since 8.30 and have just started eating some leftover chilli and rice from the freezer. it’s before 12 so I’m counting it as eating breakfast. I really need to allocate some of my food budget to fruit as it’s about the only thing I can stomach in a morning besides curry-weird I know but it’s my fave thing to eat when I get up!

    Just listing some items on FB selling pages before I go to work. I’m hoping to make some pennies and clear out unwanted junk.

    Have a great day everyone! :)

    Not doing very well with the challenge so far but that's because I am still at the caravan. I will improve from Monday when I am back at home .

    Hope everyone's having a good day

  • Today is my third day in a row of not spending!!

    Feeling super positive about the month ahead and determined to keep the run going, at least until the weekend which is my usual stumbling point.

    DD had a friend round today and I nipped to Tesco to get a few bits for lunch and they were giving away a lovely jute shopping bag with a design specific to the local store, fruit for the kids to eat whilst in the store (2 bananas in our case), samples of crisps and sweets and a £2 off a £10 spend coupon.

    Took the kids into town and gave them £5 to spend, they wandered around by themselves and had a good time.
