We're halfway through the month.


Time to have a quick review of the initial challenge and how you are faring on the different aspects. Expect to be at different stages for each one, depending on how old a turtle you are, and how your life functions!

Halfway there argh this month is flying by. Soon be C.:eek:


Yesterday had a spendy day, Got work trousers half price in sainsbob sale£7.50 , together with xmas pressies pjs, socks used my nectar points doubled up voucher and survey gift card. Spent £20 just on food so happy with that.


However treated my couchs to new throws but what a difference, look fab and so cozy, never going out again. These dont slip and slide like the one I had before. Really pleased with my spends.


Needed petrol as well yesterday within budget though


My night out 2 drinks and locketts to stop me coughing. Spent under a tenner, play was funny. Not pc however probably why series not shown anymore. Good night out however, friend loved it as well.

NSD No 10

Budget is going well and most C presents bought and wrapped. Just a few to go.

No coffee shops and retired so no need to take lunch to work

Been decluttering but not counting. Quite a lot disposed of. Put some more boxes in the recycling bin today as well as an old pair of shoes and I've identified three pairs of unused curtains (still in wrapping) to go to charity shop. I don't have curtains, just blinds, so I don't know why I bought them really. I'm sure someone will be grateful for them. Lots still to go from the Boy's ex room but he needs to do it and I don't see it happening this side of Christmas.

Using up toiletries. Still got loads. As I explained yesterday I have bulk purchased some heavy/bulky items to save Himself carrying. They arrived today and will last us for months before having to order any more but I will use up what we already have before starting to use the new stuff.

No outings planned

Failing miserably at getting out in the fresh air. It is so cold!

Still to donate but have identified the causes we intend to support.

Really not doing well with my new habits. I think I'm just not a breakfast person and there are so many scones, pancakes etc in the freezers that I can't eat them and fruit as well. Still, I do see a little chink of light appearing so long as I can stop Himself buying anything else.

Not going too badly all in all.

Halfway through the month, I think I've found the money I thought I'd somehow lost so that makes the rest of the month a much brighter prospect! Didn't get to check in yesterday as work was manic, managed to get to the gym in the morning, bought a birthday card on the way home so wasn't a NSD. Today am off work but looking after my nieces while my sister goes to a funeral. Am going to stop by a shop on the way home and buy a voucher as an Xmas present as I'm in the area. Nothing else to report.

Congrats on getting the bus pass, calling! I don't reckon they'll still be doing them by the time I'm eligible... And I had to laugh at your last bus being 6.15 so you'lljot get too drunk!!

Am home from work with a hm pizza cooking in the oven. Today really dragged at work.


Will take the dog for a little walk later just to get some fresh air then it's pj's and a glass of wine.



DH collected the parcel which contained presents for DS for either Cxxx/his birthday, they are lovely and don't need to be returned.
