The Fabulous February Nsd Challenge

  • A bit close to the wire, but finally DUNNIT 16/16. Not bad for a month where I've been away. I had to have a VSD (very) earlier this week in order to squeeze out the final few days this week. The car is running on fumes, but it won't need to go out for a few days yet (when I fear its exhaust is going to result in another VSD prior to the MOT).

    :T to everyone; it seems to have been a long hard month. Did someone sneak in an extra bit of February when we weren't looking? ;)

    yay well done Hollyberry :) will add your smiley dancey things right away
  • Hiya! I posted earlier on the thread that I'd be aiming for 15 NSDs but for some reason I wasn't put up on the first post - well, I managed the 15th today and will be aiming for another tomorrow as well :) My spends this month have been really low, largely due to aiming for NSDs, so thanks for the motivation! Well done to all the others who've made their targets :)

    Well I'm not going to make my target this month. A few lapses (not expensive but they still count) over the last few days are to blame... But it hasn't been a bad month budget-wise so I'm not too sad!

    Who knows, maybe I'll manage another tomorrow!
  • Wwwwwaaaaahhhhooooooo - today I reached my target!! Yippeee!

    Didn't think I was going to make it, but have scrapped it by the skin of my teeth.... may even squeeze one more tomorrow if I can make whats in the cupboard last until Sunday (and if you saw how full my freezer was, you'd know that'd be a doddle!)

    1/18 has been achieved, roll on March!

  • It's a trip to the new Ikea tomorrow so I had to ensure an NSD today. That makes my total 14!! Yippee - hit target two months running. :j
