Hi all :j

NSD 15/15 ...glad I managed to do this, it just shows me how I am tempted to spend even when it's unnecessary

Organise: Little done today as Tuesday is my day for helping in the CS. However DH had cleared a corner of the kitchen, very proudly showed me when I got home. Then showed me the plastic container that he put everything in.....ah well the thought was there :rotfl: this is how we get into a muddle, by the 'stash & dash' mentality instead of actually sorting & chucking out..

Lunch: Sadly an egg-free day today, lunch was made by DH & was the inevitable BLT

Supper: Quick & easy today, DH had chips from freezer, mushy peas & HM steak pie, I had similar but HM chips & fishcake. Pud was a bought in bun for him, & a YS meringue for me...

Food budget: £191.96/250 not totalled yet

Be kind: Still a WIP

One more time: Ah weigh in this morning, scales show a loss :A Not sure I think they lie & I probably stood on a different part of them...still, I'll take it thank you very much

Extra Income: None today

Christmas: Got a little present for DD from CS, plus a book for aunt.

Exercise: not today

Heating: still off

Grateful for: Easy meal prep as I'm tired, Teddy bear bedding that is now on bed....quiet time to read my book this afternoon

Mothernerd Thank you for your daily inspiration, very much appreciated.

Frog: Did not do freezers but on frog list, will attempt to tackle them on daily basis..see you all on the November thread folks, thanks for letting me hang out on here :T

Thank you for the challenge mothernerd

I think I only got to 10 SFDs and my budgets show this but I am glad it’s a new month and chance to reset. My actual budgets started on the 25th which was payday so lots already spent I’m filling the fridge and freezer and some more Christmas shopping.

Happy November everyone

Final check in from me, and a vow to do better in November! The last few grocery spends are all guesswork, because I fell off the wagon, didn't keep receipts and DH got involved...

I have a feeling that my petrol budget is too high and groceries too low but I'll keep it the same for November and see how we get on, as I only joined at the end of October so it may even out over a whole month.

I'm very bad at NSDs it turns out, and can only manage them when we literally don't leave the house, which isn't ideal for a wild toddler.

I sold all my spare buggies and put a couple of things on eBay, which I will continue to do next month.

Thank you all so much. See you in the November thread!

Groceries £84.79/£77.41
Petrol £41.33/£58.06
NSD 2/6
"Beauty" and Entertainment £55.02/£63.87
Extra income £50.78/£24
Exercise 4/6

End of the month check in from me

19/20 NSDs
Lost the plot slightly with grocery budget, think I spent about £180 all in, social budget £15/£20
Exercise - 8/8 runs, 1/4 gym
Extra income - did 41 hours overtime at my work plus various shifts with 2nd job and surveys so a good month for extra income but I'm absolutely shattered

Thanks mothernerd

Have you tried just leaving your wallet at home. Sorry if that's an silly or obvious thing. Took me a while to get used to it. But mine now lives in a special place in the kitchen and I'll only take to work on a spend day. Doesn't always work but worth a try.

Checking in for October.
Did well on the NSD. Managed 26.Mainly because I don't go out much.
Spends were in budget and I've got money left.
Made £92 extra income.Happy with that.
Still haven't eaten any frogs.

MOTHERNERD thank you for the thread and the quotes.x
