Happy Hallowe'en lovely Turtles


NSD 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay! Just in time too - sp00ky!

Payday (housekeeping) today, tomorrow is the money shuffle - scary!


DH announced he wants to cook tonight, so it will be late, overcomplicated, the kids will be tired and grumpy, and DH will be annoyed by the end of it.
I should ban him from the kitchen on school nights, really. Not sure how to bring that one up. Eeeekk!

Picking up 4 kids tonight, from 3 different places, at 3 different times. Boo!

Thanks for keeping me on track in October, well impressed I managed 20 NSDS, see you in New York in November.

Yesterday ended up being a spend day. I was doing some work related training and bought a coffee and lunch whilst there- poor planning on my behalf. We then met up with my friend later on for dinner and had a catch up. I felt a bit better about myself after then.

Today will be another NSDmeaning I have reached my total of 15/15 NSDs. We are staying in and waiting for a parcel (some of the boys Christmas presents) and tonight we are off to his friends for tea and trick or treating. It should be good!

I look forward to seeing you all in New York in November.

Kerry Woman - that is one impressive amount of NSDs. Well done you!

Today I am grateful for friendly bus and train drivers, for dh carrying my bag to the bus stop for me, for getting a seat on every train, for seeing mum, for the freedom of a plusbus ticket, for a really helpful staff member in arseda, for catching up with an old friend, for a warm place to sleep, for hot food in my belly.


Thank you thrifty for a great November! :T:T:T

Made it by the skin of my teeth NSD 15/15. Really didn't think I'd do it so I'm very happy about this. I even have £4 left in my purse that'll do me till I cash out my pocket money for next month.

Looking forward to November's challenge xx

Thanks Thrifty, for a fantastic October challenge.
And thanks all of the turtles who take the time to read, post and support each other on our journey. I am well aware that all of my posts are miserable and full of worry and self pity, but I appreciate every kind word and bit of advice I get.
See you in New York!

Hi all,
NSDs 14/15 - so close doh!
Extra funds this month - car boot sale plus sealed pot - £523
Christmas - cards bought, some presents bought, list of food and other gifts made
Banned - one fish n chip supper bought, £12.60 for three of us so not too bad.
Exercise - managed 10k most days, still need to get back to running
Healthy eating - stuck to taking in healthy lunches all month, plus at least 5 portions of fruit during work time. This month i have lost 4lbs which isn't bad going.
Think that's it for me. See you in NY!

Managed a final NSD to round out the month, 20 in total which is 5 more than I wanted so I'm chuffed. It all kind of worked out okay money wise this month despite some unwanted expenses, so can't complain too much. See you all in November!
