Don't Panic, December is frugal this year.

NSD = no spend day
LSD = Low spend day

Collie thanks it was a truly mad day, I was so cold as well. I did seem to get through the interview with some degree of calm though

Heading into town for last xmas gifts. Have got to ring bank as they have not reversed some of the charges they said they would so will do that asap.

Not much to get today though apart from that will get stuck into some making things today and tomorrow and on Friday I have the nativity and shopping for Christmas food with DH who always gets excited at snacks (his eyes are definitely bigger than his belly )!

sportinguista the one positive to dh working such long hours is he doesn't influence the grocery shopping or christmas present shopping

I'm baaaaack!!

Too much to catch up on but I will definitely be being frugal from now on

Oh and nsd. Ds is vomiting and I've been to the drs but luckily my prescriptions are free.

Another day off sick. I didn't know the body was capable of making this much snot (sorry tmi)- any tips to get rid?

Another £22 on travel and parking saved. Bought a xmas present off amazon, keep finding more to buy for! What do you all do for beaver leaders and swimming teachers?

Another nsd 5 in a row!

All going out the window tomos though when I finally hit the shops!!

£17 on batteries, stamps and £4 on lunch. Stamps are ridiculously expensive, next year it will be e-cards ! Is it me or is this week going very slowly?

Tomorrow I need ingredients for DS cookery - who puts tomatoes in sausage rolls?!

574ejones are they trying to put a healthy spin on it?!

Won't the tomato leak through the pastry during cooking

£350 holiday balance for Christmas.
£3.85 contact lense fluid.
£1 coconut macaroons. Eaten 5 of them. I can literally feel the spots coming out on my chin.

If anyone else has the tesco orchard coupons for party food, I emailed to ask if I could combine with the 3 for 2 offer and they said they couldn't see why not so it should be £4ish for 3 packs of party nibbles.

NSD today! Yesterday was my spending day. £45 petrol. £35 Aldi - weekly shop plus some Christmas bits and some bits for January stock-up.

Nsd today. 2 in a row.
Aldi voucher day tomorrow in the mirror £15 off a £75 or £70 can't remember which spend.

Just checked its £15 off a £75 spend

Hi all
Sorry for being off for so long and thank you for a Christmas thread.
Some might remember that friends boy is very ill. Unfortunately it has gone very downhill which is also a reason why I haven't had time to be online. He I currently in a coma, kept alive by machines. His state is some days positive and then a lot of days negative. But its soon Christmas so shouldn't bother you ladies with all the sad news..
I will try my best to report spendings and hopefully non spendings most...

Thinking of you and your pal Italian. That's rubbish :)

Sorry that was meant to be a sad face and flowers

Spendy day today, as I went out for lunch with a friend. £6.40 for that, in an M&S cafe. Then almost £12 on 2 sets of fairy lights and a candle lighter in Homebase and £8.97 on a kitchen bin, two packs of batteries (for the lights) and a roll of wrapping paper. Oh and £5 for a chippy tea. So, £32.something altogether.

Still got to shop for S and BIL as totally failed to get anything yesterday, other than that should be pretty much a LSD. Feeling quite optimistic as will get some cash through soon and hopefully a peaceful Christmas...

Italian and for you and your friend, it reminds us all to be grateful for what we have. My thoughts are with the boy and hopefully he will pull through...

LSD today - £5.44 co-op |£4.25 of which I can claim back from work
£2.00 toilet roll :).....

Sorry to hear about your friend Italian. Do they know what it is? Hang in there...

NSD yesterday. I still have to get my son something. And my cousin and her husband. Probably some vouchers for them... I already know what to get my son. I just have to get it online!

italian so sorry to hear that about your friend, sending lots of virtual hugs and good thoughts for the little boy.

So sorry to hear that Italian

Should be nsd today. Need to do the online food shop for tomorrow.

I think I've finished all my Christmas shopping just need to wrap the last bits now.
