    Have really lost enthusiam. I'm spending on little things every day, which usually seem to result from money-saving attempts e.g. plasters for my feet cos I walked to save on bus fare and ended up with huge blisters :(

    :rotfl: Sorry Snow White but that really made me laugh, hope your feet are feeling better and you get top marks for effort!

    Miss Bez - I too find that the wide availability of the much-missed Wispa is really challenging me :o

    Congratulations Bone Idle :T and well done for having the energy to post after giving birth :eek:

    I'm still on 2 NSDs :o not doing very well at all. In my defence work is quit stressful so I keep buying Wispas! I would have had a NSD Tuesday but visited a friend in hospital and bought her some mags and Wispas and had to pay for parking. I doubt whether I'll have another before Monday now and I've got 10 more to go with only 15 days of the month left... :o:o:o

    I am now on 7/10 NSd's which is great, would have been 8 today but we got a wedding invitation through the post so had to book hotel early so wouldnt forget.
    On the plus side we managed to get into a travelodge 10 mins away from the venue for £19 for the night (they have a deal on for Dec and Jan) when the rest of the hotels on the list start at £70 and go up as far as £160!!!

    I got my fifth yesterday, and I thought I was doing so well! Then I realised we're halfway through the month already and I've only done 5/14! Gosh, how time flies. I'm going to have to get my A into G.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    :wave: I was the same hon. :rolleyes: :D

    I was all "Woooooo I've got ten already :dance: ", but then I realised that we're at the half way mark and I really should have at least 11 by now if I am to have any spare for the end of the month when it always goes a bit to pot!

    Hmmmm...we 'll just have to see how we go huh?

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Congratulations Bone Idle

    I am trying to have an NSD today but I am nearly out of milk, so I think that I may just drink instant hot choc for the rest of the day. Tomorrow will definitely be a spend day, I have to go and collect something from the post office and from a freecycler.
  • Number 8 for me today!! :j Although I still have 12 to go to hit target and only 15 days to do it! Since I have a gig tomorrow and another on Saturday - it's gonna be extremely tight! :confused:

    Still - I'll aim for as many as I can and see where I end up!!

    Massive Congrats Bone Idle!! :T Hope Mrs Bone Idle and Baby Bone Idle are both doing well!

    :beer:
