    Just shuffling in quietly to own up to not managing a NSD so far. Will try hard today, find it hard when the kids are off school.

    Hoping for NSD number 5 today......and I am almost half way through the day, so it is still looking good. I have brought lunch in with me, though not very exciting - it will have to do!

    Definately another NSd here - have popped to bank to pay in cheques and DS has gone to work so he has my car. DD is on her way to Germany and whilst I have to walk into the village I don;t need to buy anything !!!!!!!!!!!!! Still using up store cupboard stuff so going to plan there. The only thing I have to buy is milk

    An NSD so far. Ventured into town to actually pay in some money (£3 worth of change!!) and bravely went into a chemist to get my prescription and didn't cave in and buy anything. I am in desperate need of some shampoo, but luckily found a freebie sachet to use instead. Now I'm left with the decision just how grubby am I prepared to let myself get for the sake of a NSD.....?!

    Half way through the afternoon and no money spent.....I even went and paid £2 that I *could* have spent on a coffee in my meagre savings account! How good am I :A :rotfl:

    Me too :o

    I spent some money today :o had to nip to Mr T's for my mum to get a couple of things for dinner tonight and ended up getting myself a couple of small bottles of lucozade, and a bottle of juice & comic for my wee bro, round about £6 I think . . . . .

    Just checked and it was £5.44 so not too bad.

    Got some books & dvds for my birthday so they'll keep me entertained for a while (was SO close to going charity shop shopping to get some more books - though I've just found my library card so might actually start using it again!)
