    Can't belive its December tomorrow. Off out for a meal tonight whilst I still can, friend paying so would be a NSD but treated myself to a coat today from hilly warehouse company.  My other is too dark for walking along country lanes in the evening and its my xmas pressie to me.
    NSD/13/15.
    Other spends ouch food double my budget but freezer is now full, spends on house £900 but now very happy new carpets, laminate and new oak cupboard in my hall. 
    Still managed to top up my savings to 12k.
    Grateful for
    2 meals out this week, luckily we booked before Drakeford new annoucement.( Pubs to open until 6pm and not sell alcohol? Is that for real?)
    Fabulous Grandkids, they are so sweet at times
    Xmas forest up and next year the snow tree is going to be replaced. took me 5 hrs in total after moving all furniture around to accomodate it.  The smaller tree is full of home made tack which is so funny, painted baubles from Aldee so heavy have to balance them out.  Happy Memories making all this stuff.

    Thanks for being the Star on my tree apple and running this challenge. xx

    Hello turtles, just popping in to say I've no idea how many NSDs but I've come in on budget for November on food and 20 euro overbudget on fun stuff so not too bad. Too many takeaways though. Must do more cooking at home next month. Thank you apple for running the thread!!

    Thanks for running the thread Apple, I managed 21 NSD's in the end, had quite a tight month but got through it with no dramas. 
  • Thanks apple for November, today was NSD 17 so almost made my aim of 18. Have almost finished shopping for that day in December, food budget went a bit over but mainly because I shopped yesterday so really it should have come out of Decembers budget.

    Thank you for running November, apple :)

    Like @f0xh0les, I am also thankful it is payday - and our accounts are also looking healthy until DDRs and STOs all go out tomorrow! :joy::joy: . I am also thankful for selling a couple more small items, for finding a Leg0 5tarworzzz advent calendar for DS3 and for scoring loads of YS chicken whilst out on the hunt for said AC! :)
