    NSD yesterday and only £5.25 today on some essential food itens. Came home from work with a bouquet and a next voucher as I'm leaving on Wednesday. Still got loads to sort & do before I leave so no spending should be easy till it's all done

    That was nice of your colleagues Dorastar, must be hard to finish later than most places but then I guess you get to smile and wave when the rest go back early?

    Mine go back August bank holiday week, although they usually tag a few INSET days on to that

    Woop £31 back from a trip DD went on, shoving it straight across to one of the debts (once it's cleared in the bank) then payday for me and the hubster on Thursday.

    NSD apart from £3 I forgot I owed in work for a dinner last week. Sorting out pay day so I can see how much we can squirrel away over next two months of pay. Tomorrow is job hunting day and dentist hygienist (already paid for weeks ago).

    Bit of a spendy day today, but mostly planned for. First bit of school uniform for the boy and some reduced meats from supermarket. Planning on a frugal weekend and lots of surveys to do to keep some extra money trickling in.

    Only £4.50 in surveys so far, still every little bit helps. A day of fairly dull housework done but managed to squeeze in a film that someone leant me ages ago so that was a nice break from tidying/cleaning. Got to tot up some admin work and put a timesheet in for that too, reckon it will be about £200 extra for the end of August which will help with new school uniform & shoes!

    Can't get started today, blaming the weather and finishing for the summer. Lots of stuff I need/want to do but appear to be welded to the sofa - at least I'm not spending anything though lol
