Grrr not one today, took ds to his cricket training and bought a drink at the bar as well as for people sat with. It’s a social club so don’t feel I can bring my own but at £10 a week, it’s going to put a dent in my monthly spends not sure whether to just sit in the car to wait and watch himLightbulb moment - 17/08/2017 £17,033.

I've no idea what I did on Tuesday.... but I'm assuming I spent.Jay1_2 said:Easter Sunday = NSD
Easter Monday = NSD - and that's despite running out of chocolate biscuits! No chocolate bars left either! I tried to satisfy the 9 year old inside me with a jam sandwich and a hot chocolate, which didn't completely work but at least they couldn't claim they were hungry after that.
I will need to do some shopping tomorrow though, I've run out of nearly all food except frozen vegetables.
I don't think I spent on Wednesday..... oh heck I did, I bought a drink.
Thursday was only yesterday and I know I spent.
And I spent again today.
I don't think I'm going to get to my target this month.Toodle-pip :hello:2 -

@ Jay1_2 - Try your best even if you get another 1 or 2 NSDs it all adds up
Next month try going for fewer NDS and beat your goal and then build up from there
