  • Popping in to report 1 NSD for today after 2 spending days. :D

    Possibly NS weekend as well as I have done something to my back :mad: :mad: :mad: and I'm walking around like I am an 80 yr old all hunched up and there is no way I am leaving the house like this. :rotfl: This all happened after Wednesday's huge spring-clean...take note: housework is bad for you! :p

    *trots off to find more painkillers* ouchhhh
    All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person... :D:p

    5 days into the month, and 4 NSDs for the challenge for me (3 of which have been total NSDs, as no regular payments out of the bank either).

    I'm really impressed with this, as I've been off work this week. In the past I'd have seen this as an excuse to go and have a mooch around the shops in a different town each day, but I've stayed at home instead (and not missed the potential shopping trips either) :T

    My god! I've just looked at Keiss on the map! To get further north you'd have to be on a boat! Am actually rather jel though. Bet it's lovely up there.......unlike my home on a main road in the suburbs of Gtr Manchester grrrrrrr
    curlygirl - would you believe we moved south to get there ...we lived in Orkney before that..now there's my favourite place in the world!!! As for trees...not many about up there either as it is far too windy!! My dad still lives in Keiss and has 40 year-old sycamore trees that are only 5 feet tall...so only bushes really!!

    Also
    curlygirl - love the lyrics :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have managed two NSDs this week, and hope for two at the weekend...so even though I am 2/3rd the way through my budget already :eek:, I am reasonably pleased, as I have lots of meals sorted (just not what, which day yet), and no real plans for food shopping next week...though have a couple of therapist visits to make and some smart trousers to get DS2 (for his smart evenings at rugby training weekends)..can see black trews from Mr T beckoning, which can be used at school too...he is straaaaining his latest pair!

    Right off to visit some more threads before calling it a night.

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    Yeah but Fridays!!! Deserve Exclamation marks don't they :D
    They!!! definitely!!!!! do!!!!!!!!!! :D
    Wish I'd found them earlier - am a bit of a late starter to this sort of thing
    Curlygirl, love the lyrics (how long did that take you?) but, more importantly, love the introduction to cashback. I've never tried it but encouraged to have a look now - thanks :T
    not one for me to-day, aliens having a rest after return journey from where ever it is they hide when I'm doing wild spending. Had to do weekly shop today, did not bad and £20 under budget and managed to slip in a wee bottle of red biddy our moi.
    Going to lie down and drink it now this is not easy, it keeps spilling
    A long bendy straw, that's what you need, pure dead dopey, works every time :D

    Another NSD for me today, been working all day so no chance to spend any money :( (oops, sorry BigMumma, that should have been :D).

    coffee-break, sending you some positive thoughts for tomorrow.

    Have a good weekend everyone

    Well, I've started off terribly this month and Thursday was my only nsd. Tomorrow I'm meant to be going to the cinema (depending on whether bf's man flu prevents him from leaving the house) so sunday is my next chance really I think.

    On a more productive note though I finally got round to downloading property bee after reading about it on here so I've spent the past couple of hours messing with that. It makes for some interesting viewing seeing how much some of the asking prices round here have changed!

    Morning all - just reporting for NSD duty - managed a stonking 4 so far in March after missing my target in Feb. My spending spreadsheet is a thing of beauty - sheer white expanses. I've set it up to say 'TRUE' in the final column when I have a NSD - geek motivation, but it works!
    May NSDs 10/11 (Feb 8/10, Mar 11/10, April 11/11)
    May save on lunches challenge 12/18 (Feb 16/16, Mar 20/20, April 18/18)
