    :wave: 4 NSDS out of 22 on day 6 and feeling a bit more optimistic now. We're going to my mums for tea and I can't see that we'll spend any money tonight cos we're staying in with a borrowed dvd so I'm calling it now.

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Food shopping today and picked up what will hopefully be the last few things we need for our imminent new arrival so I'm still on one NSD for September. Hoping I can snag another tomorrow then really go for it next week!

    SnowWhite - I've been meal planning for a good few weeks now and I find it saves me no end of money ! Everything is here ready for the meals and it's not often I have to pop out to get something. My last 'shop' was for 3 weeks worth so I might be able to get a month's worth of shopping once i've 'practised' a bit more :D .
    Great tip, thanks! My meal planning is by the week so far, cos I buy a lot of fresh fruit and veg.
    No spends yet today, but am going out later and will need to pay train fare, grrrr!

    I think I will have to start buying veg/fruit again soon, nearly exhausted my garden supplies (been growing our own this year) and due to the weather, a lot of stuff has ruined ! :eek: :mad: Still got a few runner beans (about 10lb ! lol) in the freezer though so they will keep us going for a little while ;) .

    Have had a NSD here again - 5th one so doing really well :T . Me and DD2 had lunch out today but it was free (her new Guide Hall opening) - stayed to help out for the day and had lunch thrown in too so a nice little bonus :D .

    Think I may have to go out and buy myself some 'winter' shoes tomorrow though - I got wet feet the last couple of days taking kids to school in my little canvas ones ! :o :rotfl:

    Day 6, NSD 5! :) I'm really pleased with how it's going! I have, however, sat in all day not doing anything constructive! x

    So far 3/6 - hmmmmmm. Am going to have to do better than that! Next week I should get away with 5/7 in theory. We'll see! If I don't will have to adopt emergency strategy, well, find one, then adopt it!
