“Just Say NOvember; Batten Down the Hatches 2016”.

Thanks Thrifty for the challenge:

I am Military this month

NSDs
Week 1 (1st -6th) 5
Week 2 (7th -13th) 5
Week 3 (14th -20th) 5
Week 4 (21st -27th) 5
Week 5 (28th -30st) 3
TOTAL 23 (allowing 2 spend days a week, non transferable)

Budget – all set and ready to go. I have 1 dinner date with my bestie next week.

Outings – Meal with bestie plus bonfire event.

Food – got loads in the cupboards and freezers. (Just want to say that I will get everything eaten except pork as our 2 pigs only went off 2 months ago so we have 1.5 freezers full of it to last til next summer!!)

Food bill – usually £350 so will cut to £315 for this month.

Food shopping – will carry on with Lidl and the greengrocers in the next village.
Will not buy lunches out.

Petrol – budget is £200. I live in a tiny village so not much walking anywhere unfortunately.

Beauty – have eyebrow appointment and that should be all I need.

Alcohol – I don’t usually drink anyway.

Exercise – same as usual with the dogs or animals.

Christmas – money is saved all year round so just need to work out what I am buying everyone.

Thank you for the well wishes for work (does that even make sense...??). It went fine,and I was crying when talking to the head - not her fault, may I add, just that she was so lovely. She agreed to the order of days I do each week, and also to removing a certain part of my teaching. Removing that part will help me tremendously, and the subsequent drop in pay is totally worth it. So, a good meeting that made me feel supported.

I'm so glad it went well for you x

Gooood morning! And we're off. Hope you have your packed lunches ready, the purse/wallet hidden and thought about dinner tonight.

Tonight shall be my NSD number 1. Note to Military. Made a little mistake, this week we try for 4 nsds not 5 as it is already Tue, doh. So 4 NSDs and two spend days.

However, feel free to still try and get 5, I will.
