    OK! I've spent a fair bit of time on editting my post on page one & found out it's a lot less frustrating when you're using a biro cuz you've got something to sling across the room when it goes wrong! Give me a holler if there's anything else you might like, but hope these are of some help in the mean time.

    And I've had my first NSD of the month :j

    Hi there,
    Can you change me from 12 to 10 NSDs this month please? As it's summer hols and I'm off work and have the kids with me all the time I don't think any more than 10 is going to happen:rolleyes:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    I forgot that I had to pledge my NSDs for the month. I aim to have 31. That means I buy basic groceries, very basic toiletries and nothing else for a whole month. No hair cuts, biscuits other than home made and basic, cakes, drinks in the pub, or any other frivolities. Today is no 3/31

    Thanks BigMummaF for all the links. I will have a good look through them.

    None yet for me! And today could be my first, but i really fancy takeaway for dinner!! it's still early so I can easily still do it this month! But why don't i just let myself make it easy and start from as early as poss! Why do i feel the need to leave it to the final hour!

    Hmm, will see if eating a banana helps (i doubt it very much, the idea is in my head now and does not seem to want to leave)
