Good morning everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

As everybody is probably sick of chocolate by now, and probably being 'tempted' to the shops with all the empty promises of 'half price' sales - DFS etc. :eek: :eek: , I thought I would start today's thread, just as a reminder to:
'Keep it Low'

And have a great Easter Monday Bank Holiday. :T :T

  • Good morning Rog & everyone:D
    Well due to family visits & me not being organised, I have run out of bread & milk & coffee ( been drinking the real stuff - so buzzing today ) & yoghurts & stuff for lunch boxes, will have to go & spend some extra money not in budget!! Naughty me:o
    Pay Day Thursday:eek: so quite a way to go, but this will be my debt free day, will pay the last £200 off Lloyds & should, if I don't keep overspending, be able to start my savings with £200 as well:T

    Luckily for me not tempted by DFS:rotfl: as part of my £20,000 was a new sofa, which I shouldn't have bought:o nice though;)
    Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

    Married my best friend 15/4/16 :)

    Great news on your impending Debt Free Day, kkw - hope you get into the 'savings' habit just as easily. :T :T

    I think I'm on track for NSD here. I don't actually *need* anything and the weather is so miserable I don't feel like going out so I plan to do some housework as my free activity.

    Morning everyone. It's snowing over this side of London but I went out for a run anyway to offset the overeating/drinking of the past few days :rolleyes:. It was so quiet out there but there were plenty of other mad runners, dog walkers and footy players to keep me company :D

    I'll be having a NSD as I'm not going back out there til tomorrow when I return to work.

    Have a good day everyone, whether you are spending or not :T:A

    good morning everyone

    NSD for me (am at work earning double time for 12hrs so am a very happy bunny!)

    total weekly personal spends

    £0/£20
  • Morning! Just got back from doing the coldest car boot sale I have done in quite a while, not very busy at all so packed up and left a bit earlier... made £24.40 profit which isn't great but still better than if I had have stayed in bed! That will more than cover my night out tonight, £5 for ticket and maybe another fiver for couple of drinks I think. So hopefully NSD and a little bit of profit day for me today!
    Make £5 a day challenge - February £54.28/£140
    To help pay off 0% CC debt - 27.1.15 £7367.12

    £1.50 on an apple, grapes, and milk
    £1.07 on cherryade and a magazine at the local shop. I don't want them to close so I go and buy things occasionally. They didn't look like they'd had many customers all day :(
