    Feel better soon coffeeholic :)

    I had a NSD on Friday so taking my total up to 4, hmm ..... don't think I'm going to reach 14 :(

    I'm trying hard to have a NSD today but we have no flora/butter for pack ups tomorrow and very little fruit. I have got a Mr T delivery coming tomorrow though so I'm have an internal battle of "just pop to the corner shop" then "no, just make do" aaargh

    If it was just for me I would make do, but DH sarnies won't go down very well with no flora in, he doesn't like mayo or salad cream etc. And the littlest one adores satsumas and we have none left ...... what to do ..... The dilemmas of honey the SAHM :o

    OK Its now official, I have been abducted by aliens, been fiddled with give'em my address for next time they call round--I haven't been fiddled with for years :rotfl:and returned because I have just completed my tenth NSD this month, this can be the only explanation!! I will have to return my degrees in frittering and wasting money, also my Masters in mis-management of money on a constant basis .... well need to finish the DMP first but its definitely a start, thanks all for the motivation and encouragement.
    I don't think you need return your degrees, just put them in the loft & hang your Diploma in NSD in pride of place costumed-smiley-089.gif

    ....I would love to say it'st been easy but....it was much harder than I thought....I had to go and mark the day by going to the corner shop and getting some wine to celerbrate!!!!! I have yet to mend my spendthrift ways:(but it is a good drop and cheaper than the super markets so it is a kind of saveing....have to think about my target for next month....
    It is really surprising how hard it is not to spend isn't it, when it appears to be such a simple concept :o Don't blame you for celebrating tho & like you said, it was still done in a kind of ms way so that's probably a new habit you've acquired without even trying :D As to next month, I've started the MARCH CHALLENGE so you've all got time for a ponder.
    We had a lazy start to Sunday too Sarah; I can't remember the last time I had a snoozy morning, if you count being invaded by the dog AND two of three Offspring as relaxing :doh:
    :rotfl:
    WHY is it that the food looks appetising on the supermarket shelves so we snaffle it up without a second thought with all these marvellous menus swimming around in our heads, only for it to lose its appeal once it's in our kitchens wht.gifManic? Mind, our really good chook-house is no longer, which helps. Had a dodgy pack of cheese & onion crisps last night that's put me off for a while too :j ..I think :o
    Can we help you out Wit40? I'll begin with...
    There was a young Poster called Wit, Whose MS ways were quite Fit!
    Now others can carry on :D

    Permit me a little sunny.gif of my own as yesterday brought my 200th NSD since 1 March last year. I'm not sure I would have succeeded without your company so for that, I Thank You medium-smiley-036.gif And here's to the next 100!

    was going to be a SD today as kids need goggles but their school was closed today and we have spent the day at home (my kitchen can vouch for that :rolleyes:) so havent been out and kids say they can go swimming today without them (purely because they didnt want to walk into town!)

    so no 10 for me :D can i have 4 nsd out of the next 6 days to make my target?? I'd like to think so

    There was a young poster called Wit
    Whose MS ways were quite fit
    yet when out in the town
    S/He was jumping around
    And fell into a pit.

    NSD no. 9 for me today. Did my food shopping and it was under £20, so a Pint-free week might be cheap.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    18th NSD for me this month. Target was 12 so I'm well pleased.

    It's doing the grocery challenge thats making me do it. I've been grocery shopping four times thats all and I'm getting a delivery from Sainsburys tomorrow so that will be it for the month. I have enough milk etc and I'll make bread if we run out and my freezer is still full as are my cupboards so I have no need to shop.
