    I have reached 6/12 No spend days I have £64.12 left of £600 to last until 31.10.25 it is 89% utilised and we are now 22% the way through the month. There is 23 days left until I get the next £600. The meeting was successful everyone happy with what I have been doing, there was a cheeky little invoice that had been re-allocated that got in the firing line, I will address this tomorrow. But otherwise all went well. Also I am pleased that I did not get any junk food while I was out, but I did eat two big pieces of Home made cake!! Yum!! (Not as bad as it could have been).

    I will plan tomorrow tonight so that I can avoid buying anything from the shop and all in all I am pleased with how the week is progressing, albeit I could do with more money in the pot!! My own fault for spending so soon, however Chirstmas is wrapped up (literally!!). Have a good evening allXX

    Thanks Beanie.

    Today I am aiming for 7/12 no spend days I have 6 so far! I have utilised 89% of cash with £64.12 remaining, 25% of the month has gone, and 22 days left to go after today. Feeling a bit tired as I have awoken this morning today is about restoring myself as well as completing a day of work. I am doing this by not doing much in breaks and resting as much as I can. 

    Have a good day allXX
