  • Well, very disappointed in myself - did rubbish!! much harder than I thought

    9/15 NSD's
    I know I'm going to be spending on Sat and Sun, and I forgot my lunch today so I won't be able to count anymore.

    Will be aiming for 15 in Feb tho, and this time I'm going to be really, really strict!!!

    Cheers

    I remembered I had been keeping a tally of NSDs in my Diary so I could check on how many I had had last night... 9 /10... Only one more to get and I'll have made my target. :j Today'll be a spend day as I'm off to a leaving do this evening so as long as I have either Sat or Sun as a NSD I'll have made it! Woo hoo! :p

  • Am really panicking. Breaking out into a sweat. I might not make my target. And here was I, 2 weeks ago thinking January was a breeze........

    Including today I only have 3 more days to score my last NSD.

    Tonight am going out with my lovely sis. I have a BOGOF meal deal voucher for her local Chef & Brewer - DING DONG.

    Tomorrow am doing lunch with the in-laws. I got an email offer for £3.49 Carvery. DING DONG. Or more like King Kong - am going to be stuffed.

    That means Sunday I have to be a verrrrrrrry good girl and refrain from Asda, Petrol, E-bay, Towncentre, Retail parks and the Cafe at the Nature Reserve we are going to visit. (hmmm BF will have to sort the parking out ;))

    After meal tonight and carvery tomorrow I probably won't need to eat on Sunday...........until around lunchtime :rotfl:

    Have a good one! See you one more time on here and then am hot footing it over to Feb!

    Well up to 13 today so here's hoping I can get through the weekend, the only thing I may need is electric but I think I am budgetted through till Monday. Had to have an unexpected spend day yesterday as back bulb had gone in the car, was very un-MSE about it :eek: and got it at Halfords and fitted but was only a couple of quid and I DID watch lol so I know for next time:rotfl: Suxh are the delights of car ownership I suppose, this is a whole new world to me :(

  • Well yesterday was supposed to be a NSD but had a bit of a plumbing crisis as there's a leak in the bathroom and it's under the floor!!!:eek:

    However i have been very money saving as i've managed to do it myself and not get a plumber in (massive saving!):j and also the bits and pieces i needed for the DIY i got from B&Q and used the 15% off voucher.

    I also bought a few other DIY bits as i figured that if i'm fixing the little jobs around the house then i won't be tempted to shop. (i'm sure my PC sends out subliminal messages on behalf of websites with clothes sales etc!)

    Plus if i'm living in my girlie overalls i won't need to buy any clothes either, and i can also use up all the spare handcream i've got too!

    Today and 2moro are NSD so looks like my final figure will be 15 (unless i'm really mean and don't buy a sunday paper!), which i'm really pleased with as my first attempt at this challenge.
