    Glad you are feeling brighter mothernerd

    ccl my eye has gone down but the incessant itching of my eyes which has been bothering me for weeks continues. I think it is stress related and have bought eye drops to try and help. Thank you for asking.

    Yesterday was a spends day as met a friend that haven't seen for 5 years for lunch. It was a good for the soul type of expense. Also bought two birthday cards that are needed later in the month. Apart from that I cleaned, walked the dogs and cooked for my sister and I (and froze a portion for later in the month). Today might be a SFD, I'm visiting a friend who might cook dinner for us, if not I'll be buying dinner out but no other spends planned. The rest of the week should then be non sounds activities. More cleaning to be done today and the builders have given me a start date of 21st so need to get a loan for that but definitely need a new roof ASAP.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Good morning all!! :j

    TOMORROW IS PAYDAY!! Hip hip HORRAY! :rotfl:

    Today will be a no spend day for me, yesterday I bought some tortillas and some ham as i want to make a pizza I saw on Facebook for dinner tonight :) I don't plan to go out at all today, I'm going to bump some items which are on Facebook for sale, go to work then return and play my PlayStation for a little while!

    The weather outside looks cr*p :(:(:( I'm kayaking at work today so I'll definitely be getting wet and cold, on the plus side it is the last session of the season, then it's the run down to ... CHRISTMAS :T:T:T

    I hope everyone has a lovely, safe day!:A

    Another NSD yesterday. Happy days.

    Today won't be. Petrol plus some Xmas presents will ruin it for me. Going to aim to get a lot done to save some spend days in the future.

    Today will definately be a spend day, but after reaching 22 NSDs I think its allowed :D
    I need to do a butcher run, then I'm heading into town for some xmas present supplies.
    I need some plain black t-shirts for BF, which I'm going to attempt a bleach design on! Some more wool for brothers blanket, and some other misc bits & bobs.

    I received my first batch of survey money into my Paypal last night, so have transferred it into my ISA this morning. I've cashed in £18.33 this month which I think is awesome for my first foray into surveys!

    Hi all.

    London was mental yesterday, I think the good weather this half term was to blame. Obviously yesterday was spendy, the return train tickets were bought in August but yesterday we spent on underground travel, drinks, donation at Natural History Museum and tea out. We took lunch with us and had that in St James Park under a tree watching half the world go by.

    Yesterday was payday and all new budgets for November are already set and I have put £390 into savings, £100 into Christmas/Birthdays pot, and dropped money into our other pots.

    I need to go to the bank today and withdraw some cash. Also need to get DD a bus pass for November.

    I have ordered a new rear light cover for my car today, someone ran into my parked car and smashed it back in the summer and it has been taped up since.

    Ended up going to local theatre last night, friends were performing a good quirky play. 10 pounds spent on ticket oops and that was going to be my only night in this week and SFD double oops!

    Was going to park in railway station tonight but refuse to pay 4 pounds so have to scamper to my work car park after 1am. Not far but creepy that time of night. Spendy day today, but my friend owes me money for tonight's gig tickets so hopefully no dipping into my pockets.

    Have a good day folks x

    Yesterday was a NSD and today will be as well. Had a good day so far - had a long lie and went to the gym then round to a friend's for a coffee and catchup. Just walking to work now, it's a lovely crisp autumnal day :)

    NSD here too.

    DS is off with the runs just now and won't be allowed back to school or after school club tomorrow either, so need to take a day off as DH is off today. He's fine in himself and chirpy but obviously can't go. Poor soul will miss his first school disco and after school club halloween party.

    So might get stuff in the garden done tomorrow and a proper food audit.

    Just popping in to record another NSD yesterday. I think that's number 9? Just bought National Trust membership with £5 cash back because I've spent £9 parking at the beach this week! So not a NSD today but will hopefully save money in the long run,
