    i have just done my 6th NSD on the trot, i have had the same £20 in purse since i went shoppin last sunday :j:T:A:j:T:A

    today i have to do the weekly shop, a list has been prepared, and will be stuck to.
    all in all a good week, as i have lost even more wieght, and according to my ody test, i am no longer obese, i am just overweight, so even that is going in the right direction :j:j:j:j
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Morning all!
    Yesterday was NSD 3 for us!:j

    Congrats on acheieving 6 NSDs already webitha! And on your weight loss, I bet you feel great!

    Should be a LSD for us today, we're going to treat ourselves to dinner at cafe rouge compliments of tesco vouchers :D so only need to buy drinks. ;)

    Happy weekend!

    Jiggled the ideas for meals around & didn't actually need the eggs just yet, so yesterday was an NSD after all:j
    I hate the way some of my family are in & out like fiddlers elbows all day long :angry: I often get moaned at for being out for hours on end, but I want to save my petrol--& more importantly my legs!--so
    I try to do as much as I can whilst out.

  • Hi, am I too late to join? I've only just taken control of my finances a couple of weeks ago & until March is out after budgeting for all my debts, dd's, MFW challege etc I have 57p to spend on what I like at the end of this month :rotfl:So I need to have at least 22 no spend days :eek: but it's a good thing to get used to doing too.

    I stopped smoking at the end of October, :A so that helps but also I'm more like £10 better off rather than the £5 for cigerettes because I'd always buy other things like magazines, they're my downfall, now I ask friends to pass theirs on to me and now I avoid going to the shop at all!

    Thanks and well done & good luck to everyone else. :T

    Hiya! Its never too late to join! Welcome aboard.... Would you like me to put your target as 22? Or do you wanna start a bit lower, as its the 8th already?

  • Thanks Sarah,

    but 22 it's got to be I'm afraid! I'm not including dd's or food & petrol so I basically haven't got to spend anything on non-nessaties that aren't budgeted for. I just haven't got it this month & I [strike]do[/strike] did waste too much money on magazines, chocolate & lunches which has resulted in going overdrawn, which seems so stupid now.

    Thanks & I do appreciate the support. :T
