  • Failed quite nicely :p Some of the non-NSD's couldn't be avoided, but several of them could have been, and I SHOULD have met the target quite easily. I'll try much harder in March. ;)

    Well done to everyone who did well, better luck next month for those that didn't do as well as they hoped.

    Woohoo I did it!! Was a bit close, have been so tempted to go to the shop all day but it's shut now so temptation avoided. Feel a bit mean as forgot to get my brothers GF a birthday card, and OH is not too happy about no butter for his sarnies tomorrow, but I was determined to get my final NSD today! Well done to everyone whether they met their total or not - even one NSD has got to be a good thing :)
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Oh dear..... BigMumma won't be impressed with the f word - we don't use that word on this thread:). Well done to you both for the NSDs you made - think positive, any NSDs you had are a bonus:)

    Well done to katholicos, coffeeholic, peskie pixie, Blimus Oreilly, karenccs67, Justicenpeace and katenut for making their targets :j:beer::j - well done guys.
    Well done to coffee-break for getting the one extra NSD:j.
    Everyone's done really well this month. February is a difficult month all round, grotty weather, 28 days, half term, Xmas bills to pay, etc, etc, so any NSDs we've had have been a bonus. I think we all deserve a huge pat on the back and a group hug.6.gif

    See you all on the March thread :A:A

    ....Didn't reach my target, but not bad for a first attempt....ebay items to post off on monday, so while they are spends, i have received money to cover the postage, so perhaps I shouldn't count those.
    Not at all bad Thrifty :T & no, I wouldn't count those as spends either, but of course it is individual choice.

    No! She isn't at all impressed!!! Where's a nana fritterer smilie when you want one :p I was just thinking that we should add up our NSDs for Feb just to see how well we have done..might do that if no-one else wants the poota for a while...

    I too, spent yesterday deep in the bowels of my kitchen cupboards so I couldn't be tempted by the lure of fluorescent flicker on reduced price tags & didn't feel safe till I went to bed around 10 :o The convenience stores close then but there was still t'intanttie, boogaloo on the box so climbed the wooden hill instead:rotfl:

    Wow that is impressive!
    It was a NSD for me yesterday so I reached a total of 6/14

    Not what I'd hoped for, but we are in the process of buying & selling our home.

    I aim to do much better in March :)

    See you all there x
