hiya,

My NSD, has turned into

£8.00 on car cleaning
14.40 in Watirose

really not doing very well at this not spending business at all ... am on my last cig now so that will be another £5.60 tomoorow :eek: :eek:

I think that already I haven o chance of coming anywhere close to my £50.00 . How do you all do it ? There must be a way

So far since yesterday I've spent over £35.00 I feel I'm never going to make any improvement ... this week will be worst then the last :eek:

hi catlover, dont give up, there are bound to be rough weeks, but as long as you know what you really want to do, you will get there, 1 day at a time.. as for the fags, well £5.60 is bleeding dear for 20, i aint preaching, i smoke meself, but i get them for as little as £3.50 - £4..ok its a really bad habit, but if i am going to continue, i will try to get them as cheap as pos.. . maybe even changing to a cheap brand, could save you over a quid a day on 20, .. i know this dont help, but every little way helps you get there just a bit.

as for the car cleaning, ha, i ..didnt even know cars could be cleaned;), i just let the rain clean mine ..had over 20 cars, i think i may have cleaned 1.. not sure, maybe i was on a date

Evening all.

Spends today were £1.42 on various bits of postage and.......£19.64 in Sainsburys on main grocery shop for the week! :j :T (usually £40).

if you could just aim at spending £20 p/w less, and you manage it, you will get used to all the short cuts..cheap brand fags, supermarket homebrands for certain foods, bogof deals, letting the car av a bit of dirt to keep it warm in the winter;) just joking on that last one...

£1.39- 40p on anewspaper and the rest on a Pot Noodle.... Bad choice re Pot noodle. Maybe should have eaten the plastic instead.

Still NSD tomorrow, trying three this week

even though i have had some pretty low spending nsd's, not through choice, i am hoping to carry these savings on from when i get paid. i hate monthly pay..i have sort of got used to going without the dear stuff, and i am now making pack lunches per day, ok nothing special, but saving over a tenner a week, everylittle helps, i may treat meself to a lovely bit of steak on friday tho;), and a few beers out.. but nowhere near as much spending as before.... well, hopefully...... i tell you what, i will be back on ere sat morning after fridays payday..and maybe i will be ashamed. hopefully not tho, i really have to get through the xmas period,then i be ok......oops, just noticed i am rambling on a bit......bye bye for now
