    Hiya! :wave:to you too!

    Ok, so since I posted on the 10th, lots of things have come up that couldn't be helped, and I haven't had any NSD's so far! Like they say, Life's a female dawgie...:o I think I will have to bail out this month, :(, and start again in March, with a target of 8 again.

    I will do it next month. Yes! You will :D

    Not a good day, due to poor planning i overspent :(. It was essential spending (printouts of some MS assignments), but i had to go back to the internet shop to print-off extra stuff :doh:. As this was essential spending i was gonna put it down as a NSD, but i can't now :angry:. I just need 1 more blinking NSD!

    So is this the latest celeb 'must-have' then :mad: Have to say that it was only just a couple of hours ago that we were talking about Vernon Kaye--now that one DID cause me to do a double-take :( but not for long..bluddin men :cool:

    LOL - yeah, old Vern was a bolt out of the blue! Wonder who's next in the firing line? Whoever it is BigMumma, i promise i won't put any more money into Rupert Murdoch's pocket :A :D.
    Managed NSD no 11 today:j

    Took my Mum out shopping today & didn't buy a thing. M&rks had got all their new range in and although Mum treated herself i wasn't even tempted. Even she commented on the fact that i'd achieved another NSD (it's catching!)

    Got home to find a box on my doorstep and its a full size bottle of the Flash febreeze to test and evaluate. So won't have to buy any bathroom cleaner for a while. It smells a bit flowery so can't see me using it anywhere else. In fact i can smell it now and it's still in its sealed packaging and i'm starting to get a headache:(

    Sorry Peskie, i had to giggle at this. My mum is mad for sickly-sweet, scented toilet rolls! She buys so many and stores them in the bathroom - you can't breathe properly sometimes! Hope you're headache's getting better :o.

    Miss Bee, it happens, take care of what needs to be done and we'll be seeing you in the Spring :D.

    Have a good Thursday peeps - roll on Friday! :beer:

    Sidles up to Solvent and in a stage whisper says...Well, he has been a naughty boy, hasn't he. After last weeks revelations, apparently, there's ANOTHER strumpet...er lady, he has sent lots of text messages and saucy piccies of himself to, while that lovely Cheryl Cole was working hard on X-factor. Apparently, some of the piccies are indecent and not fit to be published in a family newspaper :eek: Although, we did see a headless pic of him wearing nothing but his sexy (not) underpants
    Thanks for the update coffee-break, I do sometimes wonder about footballers and where their brains are (assuming they have brains, of course!!)

    UP to 8 NSDs so far...with 7 to go...not sure if I'll make it, but still enough days to go!
    Was away in Leeds the past two days..and managed to keep spending under control....except for the wool I bought for DH's birthday in a month's time. Lovely Wensleydale wool from Baa Ram Ewe..a wonderful name for a shop!
    What a brilliant name for a shop, Keiss. Will check their website... I love wool shops :):):)

    You're not being gutless, saorsie, but always good to have something to aim for so, if you feel comfortable raising your stake, then go for it - we're with you all the way :)
    Welcome to Megs mum
    Sorry you're leaving us this month miss_bee, but look forward to seeing you in March and well done for the NSDs you've had this month :beer:
    Have a great time at the XFactor tour, rubies
    Good luck with your toot-clearing, peedie, I've got plenty more when you've finished...

    Hi to everyone else, didn't manage to get on here yesterday, too busy working :(, but lots of brilliant NSDs being gained - well done everyone :beer::beer:

    Managed another two over the past couple of days, mainly due to working and not having left the house. Out tomorrow for a serious spend day, though :(:(.

    Fingers crossed for lots of NSDs tomorrow for everyone and a big hug for anyone needing one.

    An NSD for me yesterday. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
