  • Number 9 for me today :D And we ended up sharing pizza last night rather than getting curry meaning I only spent half as much as I'd budgeted for which is nice! I'm going out tomorrow night so I'm bound to spend something, but Tuesday should be a NSD.

    ....Spends are also well within target, can't believe it!! I would love to be able to keep this up for the rest of the year, not sure if it's possible, but I will try!!....
    Everyone is doing so well this month, the bad weather has had a good efect on our spending (or rather lack of it!).
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the white stuff is supposed to be making a spectacular return on Weds :o We caught the six-day forecast on the Country-?!?!?!? this morning & there was a big white stripe going from top tip of nor-nor-west Scotland down to lowest east-south-east England....
    ....hubby as finally seen the light and stopped making fun of me being on this site!! only discovered it just before christmas and him and daughter laugh at me saving money and think its just a latest hobby of mine, until we went to pizza hut for lunch and thanks to this site we saved a massive £20.15 OFF our bill. think i'll be getting support from now on and dare i say it a bit of co-operation too. :T

    hi everyone, yesterday and today weren't nsd days as predicted but feeling really pleased with myself!!! took 3 children to town yesterday and only bought what was on my list with no added extras for me or hubby and today my hubby as finally seen the light and stopped making fun of me being on this site!! only discovered it just before christmas and him and daughter laugh at me saving money and think its just a latest hobby of mine, until we went to pizza hut for lunch and thanks to this site we saved a massive £20.15 OFF our bill. think i'll be getting support from now on and dare i say it a bit of co-operation too. :T

    You'll get plenty of support and encouragement from us on here as well rubies4eva .... great that hubby and daughter are seeing the light as well though :j
    However the bacon butty I bought whilst I was waiting was not.

    Hi curlygirl - did the sandwich contain the whole pig :eek::eek::eek: that's a bluuddy expensive bacon sandwich...

    Hi all,
    Another NSD for me today:j Judging by the long-range weather forecast, though, I'm going to have to go out before Wednesday or risk being snowed in again :mad::mad:, so another SD for me Monday or Tuesday:mad:.

    Yay to everyone for doing so well this month, we're all superstars, and a big hug to anyone who needs one.

    Saturday was NSD 8 for me - and also my 5th when looking at all spends :T

    Sunday, however, was a very high spend day :eek: Spent waaaaaay more in one day than I have for a loooooong time, but this included £169 on a coat and £9.95 on cleaner for it that I'm not counting as part of my 2010 budgetting (covered by money left from my 2009 budget, Christmas cheque from my parents, and my C00p dividends from the end of 2009). I did still manage to spend a further £64.03 that has to be accounted for though !!!

    And I've just ordered my road tax on-line as well (another £120), as I needed to get it done this week - and doing it before midnight meant I didn't ruin a day that could otherwise be 'total NSD' (and that I don't forget with all the extra hours I'm doing at work over the next 2 weeks ;) )


    The plus side is that - with all the extra hours I'm doing at work this next week and next - I don't think I'm going to have time to do much more shopping this week/month :rotfl: Don't even think I'm due any D/Debs out of my bank account until at least Friday, so (other than milk that I'll possibly, but not definitely, need before then) I could be looking at a run of 4 NSDs :)

    well yesterday was no 12 for me, as HIM gave me his bank card to do the bits shopping, didnt need a lot, and he wanted some wine from aldi so i made him pay :D:D:D and i spent nowt.
    Hopefully today will also be a NSD as i really got to find my house under all this mess:rotfl::rotfl:.
    I am getting very excited as i only need 5 NSD out of13 days left to reach that elusive 17 that i can never seem to get, its becoming an obsession ive even taken to using powdered milk that we have for emergencies to i dont have to buy milk.
    i hope this obsession lasts all year , but i doubt it lol
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Saturday was a NSD for me so now up to 10.

    I've just renewed my library books online (so as not to incur a fine) and made my lunch to take into work... so I think I can make today another NSD.

    Hope you all have a good week!

    ;)
    Proud to be dealing with my debt

    Hoping today will be a NSD - I have no plans to spend anything and no money in my purse so I CAN'T spend anything ;). Hopefully I can get another NSD under my belt this week which will leave 1 to go.

    Bank balance is looking very nice :T
