Morning all


Today is another NSD. Budgets still the same- £24 left. Yey lol. Luckily hub is away during the week at the mo & the kids get a decent lunch & tea at nursery so I can just do a snack for tea. Eggs on toast or something.



Went to pick up all my parcels yesterday on lunch. Pretty pleased with my free pjs & books & the action figure set I bought my little one is huge. The gift cupboard is looking pretty full:D


Put my name down for another cheeky days overtime. This pay day should be a fairly nice one. I hate doing it but while I have a friend who is willing to have the boys & I don't have the £100 a day childcare bill I'd be crazy not to take it. Mum is going to give me another £200 next month as this then means my belated 21St money has now run out :rotfl:However this is going to be put to one side. My August break is paid for & spends budgeted but I have a few things to pay for towards Xmas including Xmas itself which I need to start saving towards. This can go towards those


Bad week on my diet this week so drawing a line & starting again.


Grateful for - my friend helping with childcare (we help each other) , my little boy doing really well in his swimming (makes it all worth it) & for my lovely mum who has made sure it hasn't all been scrimping & saving all year. 2 months to go :beer:

Today will have to be NSD 14 as I have no money left. - Well,I have £19 in the bank, but a £15 cheque given to the school has not just gone out yet and I don't want to have to use my overdraft as I will not get my £3 bribe if I do.

Child benefit coming in 4 days before payday is messing everything up.
This week I am potless, Friday I will be flush.
I will put this down to floating paydates rather than fiscal mismanagement.

Sports day at school this morning

Today I am grumpy.

I'm bored or I have nothing to do is often met with 'plenty of washing up in the sink' or 'the toilets always need cleaning'.

Somehow that is not the kind of entertainment they are looking for.

I must just be obtuse

Good morning,

today won't be an SFD as I need milk and potatoes, bread.

Started also keeping a food diary a while ago to realised what I actually eat incl all theses little snacks/finishing the kids dinner/ pot munching while cooking. And I note down how I feel (energy, concentration etc). It has been quite revealing, also in terms of what foods make me feel a bit sluggish, bloated etc. Definitely keep doing that for a while longer.

:rotfl: we had a night like that yesterday. I said the telly stays off tonight. That was met with "oh what should we do then?". How about play :eek: or draw :eek:. They tidied their room instead

@Mothernerd hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.

Nsd 10. No money to spend :rotfl:. At least I have achieved my target for the first time in months.

Does paying bills and debts count as an NSD?

Yes bills, debt payments and medical expenses do NOT ruin a NSD, so you keep it.
