    Been under the weather so haven't posted in a few days, had a bad bout of hayfever and indigestion so spent one day at home that got me an NSD on thursday but have bought medicines and lazy food so no other money saving to report really. Currently on £50/140 of my personal spend budget, which I m quite pleased with, going to buy OH a takeaway and cake for his birthday but otherwise i think i could come under budget this month,

    Sixth Anniversary 100 Posts Combo Breaker
    Hello everyone

    I managed 4 NSDs last week partly thanks to a training day with lunch laid on(4 points),
    Haven't spent any cash as such so there a no more £1 coins to add :(
    And I drank way too much wine last night, but it was fun and life is for living :)
    Otherwise there has been little change. Oh well next week should be more fruitful as we creep closer towards the end of the month.
    Might get my camera out and take a couple of pics for FB sales.

    Hope you're all having a fab weekend.
    Onwards and upwards with the occasional kick up the butt required! ;)

    Not much report now on 6 NSDs for the month, had a few small spends so now I m on £80/£140. Looks like I should end up on budget for this month, if not hopefully under as another honeymoon cost has ended up slightly higher than I thought on the plus side i m doing pretty well on cashback recently.

    Not much to report for the past few days, no NSDS as have had some small spends and went shopping for wedding bits this morning so ended up buying breakfast out, now on £120/£140 for this months spending with just under a week to go. I think I should be hopefully much stricter next month, just need to stay in most of my weeks holiday.

    hey sorry I have been away - Life's been a little hectic with getting the house sorted.
    We're pretty much all unpacked apart from some non-important boxes upstairs.

    i'll be returning for June and will be keeping track in my new shiny planner and on my phone too,
    so I can't get away with excuses of not tracking now.

    I hope everyone has had a good month and look forward to starting the new month with you all
