  • Was so close! I even went to the shops to pick something up for mum, but didn't get anything for myself.

    But then I bought a train ticket online for next weekend, which I hadn't considered. Of course I could have put it off till tomorrow, but I'm a bit concerned that the cheap tickets will run out soon. So what I've done is more moneysaving.
  • NSD number 6 for me today :j- wonder if I'll make my target...........

    12/18 for me today please. I had a 2p whoopsie spend and a £42 petrol spend, but both were permissable under rules.

    Tomorrows going to be a spend I fear, unless I can find a free parking space.

    Booo, no NSD today. Went to the shops and bought a packet of crisps :o although i resisted the temptation to buy a newspaper :). No Cheryl & Ashley Cole gossip for me today :rotfl:.

    Shucks, and there I was looking forward to an update tonight, coffee-break :rotfl::rotfl:
    I am on 10 out of 20 but with only 11 days left including today I am really finding this month a bit hard! I injured my hip so had a spend day with my NHS perscription which was not on the plan... grrrr - I want a clean 20/20 so will just have to stick it out and choose my last spend day very wisely! ;-)

    Ouch wit40iwtwan, sounds painful, hope you're on the mend soon x

    That made me laugh 5.gif, pure dead dopey, well done:j for having so many NSDs.

    Hi to everyone,
    Well, as predicted yesterday, serious spend day today for me :(. Food shopping - but had lots of vouchers to use :j. Then M&S for a few things I needed (yes, really did need them, unfortunately), then some new bedding (again, yes, really did need this) and then paid my cc bill when I got back :eek::(:eek::(:eek::(. Oh well, broke now so got to have some NSDs for a while.

    Well done to everyone who did rather better than me today, think I'll have a hug today..
