    I did that in £land! Amazing what you can spend in a discount shop when you don't need anything!!!
  • They are full of stuff you never knew you needed :(

    I could have done a lot more damage so not being too hard on my self but balloon g&t glasses £2.99 for 2 couldn't leave without them :beer:

    Oooh sound perfect! I do like a nice g&t glass.
  • NSD today! Bored stiff tonight should really clean the house but CBA!! Out for lunch & drinks tomorrow afternoon, haircut in the morning so both will wipe out my spendy money until 1st Sept!

    EBay items end tomorrow so hopefully they sell.

    Have a good weekend xx

    Round 2 - 8/12/25 £3,660 
  • Managed to not add to my overdraft this month makes me feel its possible.

    Working out what I have to pay out for in September with birthdays, snack money in school etc and all looks manageable.

    Yesterday took DS to movies with meerkat code. Took our own snacks and drinks :eek:
    Cheap & cheerful day at the beach today. Took a packed lunch and DS was happy with £1 of 2ps in the arcade instead of the usual £5+ to get tickets for a rubbish toy! Learning every day ha ha! Spent £4 all day instead of the £20 I usually get through:T. We have one more day off together so have added £16 saving to the £20 I have for that day then if I don't spend it, it Will go in the Xmas pot.

    Big bag of clothes for charity cleared too! :j

    Round 2 - 8/12/25 £3,660 
  • Managed to get through bank holiday without too much damage. :j. Bought DS some joggers for £4 but only charged £3 so £1 gone in the Xmas pot. Need to step it up a bit if I need £400!!

    Hoping for 4 NSD now until Friday should be OK as working and any grocery shopping will come out of the grocery budget.

    Have a good week everyone :)

    Round 2 - 8/12/25 £3,660 
  • Not a NSD found a drinks bottle for DS for £3 not a planned purchase as he wants one that's in a!di on Thursday might see if he mentions it again! Just joined the NSD September challenge aiming for 15 out of 30....

    Round 2 - 8/12/25 £3,660 
  • DS drinks bottle went out of shape in the dishwasher (should have read the instructions)
    Just been to a!di and bought another then impulse bought another that has an emoji icon on (his thing at the moment), even though its not practical for school (opening too big) but I know he'll love it for at home (SIGH)!


    Am I beyond help!!!! That's £9 on water bottles in 3 days.


    Need to set some September goals I think to get me back on track.
