Difficult Decison for December; the NSD thread.

solventsoon

Well I've had an SSD (serious spend day) today having been mega-good for the last couple of days, it couldn't last .

Bought another couple of xmas pressies, wrapping paper and some ribbon, although, having seen BMF's inventive wrapping solution, I probably could have done with the brown paper I have in the house, some gold paint and string, hmmmmm ....

Oh well, 3 NSDs so far, definitely another tomorrow and hopefully Weds as well, so that's me half way to my 10, yipppppppeeeeeeee :j:j:j.

Well done to everyone who had an NSD today and oh dear to all those like me who had an SSD -there's always tomorrow!

I only ever buy brown paper. i've got some happy birthday and present stamps and some christmassy ones and i just use the relevent stamp on the brown paper, tie it with some pretty ribbon and it looks pretty good. people appreciate that i've made the extra effort to make the wrapping paper and i never run out of wrapping paper whatever the occassion. there's never a last minute dash to the shops for paper.

Going to try for a NSD today, unless there is some reduced stewing beef in Sainsburys when I check at lunchtime. If so, I will also get a top-up of fuel on the way home so it doesn't need doing later in the week.

Like that Starnac, if you haven't taken out a copyright on the idea then I shall be doing that in future. I shall add present stamps to my shopping list for the new year (on another spend day, of course!).

Thanks for the tip :j:j

of course you can have the idea solvent soon. if you try to get the stamps in the sales then it's even better.

Having another NSD today, quite pleased with myself

Got HM sausage rolls & chips for tea tonight which is a change as we were getting fed up of the same type of meals. Also got a cheesecake half made (the base) so will do the rest when I get home and that will be a nice pudding.

Sadly the last two days I have been so clloooseeee but just missing the mark!

Yesterday I had a complete NSD I thought - then realised I had bought a Chrimbo present online (that I could have easily held off til tomorrow!).

Today was posting ebay packages - so guaranteed spend

Tomorrow going for NSD - walking/cycling will help! Thurs/Fri are guaranteed due to office meals out... with tap water at least!! Gotta go for it tomorrow + Saturday to get off the blocks!
