NST: November 2019

nannygladys

Hi everyone
Up and out early today and got everything done, bar buying a book that I have ordered for the same price on line(the shop hadn't got it and wont be getting anymore in).
No food bought, but as its payday I bought a new jumper with a 15% off coupon, its a size smaller as Im losing weight and all the ones I have are getting very baggy!!
So that's it really.
Gratitudes:
1. Coupons
2. Being in a position that I can put the heating on when I need it.
3. Lo for lunch and dinner!

Today was NSD 12/15, annoyed with myself about yesterday being a spend day, but landed up being out and about without food in the car and DD required feeding. However budgets are well and truly on track, have even transferred some extra money to a savings account, it can be moved back if I need it but as cupboards are still well stocked it should be ok.
One pair pj bottoms with a hole in the leg binned so 50/60 items are gone. Grateful for days out with friends, today being warmer than it has been and that DD and I have clothing and footwear to deal with whatever weather is thrown out way.

NSD 7/12 for me. I did buy a small Christmas gift but as the cost was covered by a sale I made on FB I'm not going to count it. Not sure that today will be as I may have to buy lunch at work. First I'll search the cupboards to see what I can find.

#20 checking in

Budget - Good - Payday today so all savings etc and payments made.

NSDs - 8/15 - Yesterday was an NSD in the end. Today is shopping day so no such luck today lol.

Lunch to work - Kids sent with their pack ups as normal. Hubby on his training so buying lunch. He's claiming his expenses back next week so we will be getting his lunch monies back in full from the last 10 weeks!

Items removed - 22/60 - Nothing to add.

Daily fresh air - Thankfully it's not as cold today so I may actually get some more things done and get out for a walk.

Gratitudes - Free music lessons for eldest (as much as he gets annoyed carrying a trombone around, he's very lucky!!), the fact that it's so close to Christmas!!, and the chocolate bar hubby brought home from work for me yesterday that is currerntly caling me from the cupboard.

New habits - Routines mostly done but do need to catch up on my November tasks today as I've been very lazy so far this week, and it's Thursday!! :eek:

Whoop! 10 weeks of expenses will be like a nice pre-Xmas bonus Which has reminded me - my husband's got expenses to claim for the last 10-11 weeks - it's not much really in monetary terms but it does all add

My DS2 does trombone - sometimes I do wish he'd chosen something a bit more standard, like a guitar...

Already spent here - took advantage of 20% off in MnS to order me some slippers (mine have holes in) which the kids can give me for Xmas and a Xmas dec I've had my eye on but didn't want to pay full price for. Obv went through tcb - and used my £5 reward voucher and a triple points coupon Free delivery means it's not here until next week, but I'm in no hurry

Also ordered 3 Xmas presents from Amazin - have researched prices and these were good so have got them

Rest of the day being spent on housework...

NSD 12 today, one more book in the c/s bag, all food will be from stores. It is going to be pasties tonight - using up more leftovers from fridge and ys pastry. All kids to school on time. Going volunteering this afternoon.
Half the weekly budget is still in the pot.

Pantry inventory, weekly menu plan written, shopping list made. The list has 3 things on it. Thus, I am not going shopping. DH thinks he is coming down with another cold. He keeps covering himself in V1cks. Sadly V1cks to me smells of cat pee. Anyone else? Not enjoying bedtime.

Gratitudes:

Dh came home perky with gossip after his work meal out,

my gingerbread/parkin x was lush and all the kids ate it (good job as I made three loaf tins of it) and requested it in their lunchboxes

The house was warm and toasty last night

(sorry no werewolves thus far)
