    Well I'll call it a low spend day, as the total cost of the top up shop (incl steak) and train ticket aren't much more than £20.... :)

    To be honest I'm quite pleased with my NSD progress so far and I got my 4 in a row, so I'm not getting too worked up about it. AND I get to have an unexpected treat tomorrow :D

    That's fine too.Whatever you're happy with. :)

    You're doing really well,it's true!

    Ok,tell,tell.What's tomorrow's treat?

    Aha! :D;)
  • Good morning all!

    I can safely declare yesterday as #7!

    Happy Sunday all. :)
  • marmiterulesok - well done! That is excellent.

    Friday - 47.50
    Saturday - 39.15

    October is going to be filled with NSD's for me as I have spent the majority of my money already.

    I am trying to not feel so bad about it as the spends on Friday include Christmas gift for my BFF's daughter & 15.00 for a birthday present for my mum that she really wanted.

    Car valet was 20.00 on Friday also & mum bought lunch as I covered that the week before.

    Saturday I spent 30.00 on dinner, 6.00 on getting my eyebrows threaded & 3.15 on posting a housewarming card to Canada.

    I have some money if I need it but I would rather not spend because that is part of my Christmas budget which I need!

    So today is a definite NSD for me.

    It's NSDs left, right, and centre here!
    I won't be able to report until late this evening as I'm watching an item for OH's Christmas present on 3bay that ends tonight. Absolutely no excuse for any other spends today.

    Thank you!With the internet now,it's so easy to declare an nsd,only to buy a sneaky something five minutes later and have the day ruined.I err on the side of caution now.

    Have you ever thought about having a weekly budget?I know how frustrating it is when most of your money has gone and we're not even half way through the month.
    I mean,my grocery budget is weekly,but that includes cat food and toiletries and even the odd coffee in town.I hope that you had a nice meal with your mum.
  • Erm I do have one :p

    Just clearly not doing so well sticking to it!

    It's this time of year, I am starting my Christmas shopping in January next year :money:
