    I haven't been very good over the past couple of days, mainly getting bits and bobs for hubby and son went to Laser Quest but yesterday we had to buy a new pc. It was interesting to find that desktop pc's are being phased out and laptops are replacing them. We too bought a laptop and a wireless printer and the space saved in my kitchen is fantastic. (desktop sat on worktop and printer in cupboard).

    Today will be NSD and so hopefully will Mon - Thurs. Friday I have to pay Boys Brigade subs of £20.

    Sunday Smiles to you all :smiley::smiley::smiley:

    Have decided that even though i had to return something yesterday that won't count as a NSD. Today will be a NSD though as im not going to go out again today. So 11/15 for me.

  • 8th NSD for me today. I have been wracking my brains to think of how I can make tomorrow a nsd too but don't think it is possible as my parents picked up some reduced wellies for me yesterday and I will need to pay them back. So tomorrow I will also but myself a big bottle of milk for work and try to make it my only spend day until thursday when I am going wedding dress shopping. This no spend thing is addictive.
