Whew, it was hard, but I did it! I ended up going to bed early, around 10:30 and that helped – a bonus was being up this am @ 6:30 and by 8 I had accomplished cleaning my room, doing the dishes, sweeping all the floors, sorting through all my old magazines & getting 90% into a pile to donate, doing a load of laundry, going through my handbags – deciding on 2 to donate and making a gift drawer! Plans for the rest of the day include sorting through all my paperwork, cleaning the bathroom, washing the kitchen & bathroom floor by hand, checking my bank accounts, unpacking my final box from the move, putting my laundry away and making lunch for tomorrow!
Think that will distract me from spending money & pizza??
I’m really hoping today can be another no spending day, then at least I’ve accomplished 10% of my goal!
That wore me out just reading about it, let alone doing it all!
I’m off to visit a craft shop with a friend today. It won’t be a no-spend day because I need to get a few bits from the farm shop but I shall do my best to resist buying anything craft related.
Well done! Not just for managing to get so much done so early in the day but also for resisting the evil pizza!
Thanks Catz!! I did feel really pleased with myself. It would have been oh so easy to phone and have it delivered all for only £10…but alas, that £10 stayed in my purse and my hips are better off too
Oooh Sharon, have a lovely time! Sounds like my kind of day!
Work always keeps idle hands and the devil at bay.
Good job!!!!!
I like that saying FB, I like that saying…..!

Wow! You are sooo productive. Can you come over to my house?? My list is about that long too!!
I also read your post about ordering frugally at the resturant with your friends. Great job! You can enjoy the food because you know you are not overspending!
Why do’nt you make homemade pizza instead?
Thanks Sandie! That post looks great!
Boo most days I feel very very unproductive!!!
So right re the frugal eating out, I didn’t feel guilty because I stuck to a budget!
yay for resisting! good on you!
