    Declaring my final figure for the month (against a target of 11) as 16 :T

    Within these 16 I actually scraped in with 12 total NSDs (the other 4 days had 'regular' - direct debit type - payments made as the only outgoing of the day)

    Hi Guys

    Well the end of the month didn't go so well for me spending wise........I spent a FORTUNE in Sainsburys. I put a little bit of petrol in as am driving to BF's tomorrow and then I went into Sainsburys to stock up on some items as I had a voucher for £4 off a £20 shop (It was my last one of 6 such vouchers I had received - gosh I've had fun stocking up). And this was all fine. I compiled a list with the help of mysupermarket.com and my shopping was going to come in at a little over £20. But my downfall was my mother. She's a terrible influence and things just went WRONG. And there is currently 25% off all clothes!! I broke my 'No flipping Clothes for 12 months' challenge when I've suffered so much for the past 8 months and only had 4 to go!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:Fortunately such items can be returned

    So declaring 16 out of 17 NSD's achieved

    Onwards and upwards!

    Hi everyone
    Last day of March and in the words of someone I can’t remember “haven’t we all done well”...

    Targets reached on the last day of the month:

    :j:j:jkatenut: well done, that’s brilliant, really pleased for you. :j:j:j We’ve had some slightly odd meals this month for just the same reason!
    :j:j:jin spired2: fantastic news you reached your target - well done!:j:j:j


    Lots of NSDs on the last day of the month - well done to the following:

    Lollypop75: :j11 is brilliant - well done:j
    Casperthefriendlyghost: :jwell done for getting 16 :jand hope you’re getting better now after the surgery. Looks as though you’re keeping up the no smoking days as well - brilliant!:j
    jintyb: :jyou have done so well this month, smashed your target out of the water. :j I do agree, handing over hard-earned cash feels like spending money, using a credit card just doesn’t at all - and that’s probably why most of us are here.
    skaps: :jfantastic that you got to 16 - well done:j
    lizzyshep: :jwell done on getting to 21 during your first month - that’s great:j
    sassi0306: :jwell done - 16 is a good total to get, you’re making great progress so big pat on the back for you:j
    mamajojo: :jgreat that you got to 9 - well done. :jI suppose needing to feed the children is a good excuse not to have an NSD... possibly
    Baileys Babe: :jfantastic news that you got to 21 - really well done - and you smashed your target as well:j
    karenccs67: :jwell done on getting to 13 - you very nearly made your target. :j Fingers crossed for April now
    Cleosmum: :jand well done to you for getting to 14 - again, nearly at your target.:j Fingers crossed for you for April as well
    elfen: :jyou really did smash your target, that’s brilliant - very well done:j
    fedupandskint: :jyou got 8 NSDs - no one had your money on those 8 days apart from you - that’s an achievement I reckon so well done!:j
    peedie: :jand you had 7 NSDs - well done for those. Same comment as for fedup above, chin up and think about April now:j
    cw18: :janother one smashing her target out of the water - 16 is brilliant, well done!:j
    saorsie: :jI’m sure you’ve borrowed pure dead dopey’s aliens - you’re doing brilliantly - 20 is fantastic - well done!:j


    And..... oh dear to curlygirl - you must remember to take pure dead dopey’s aliens shopping next time and not your mother!!!! Well done on the 16 though, that’s brilliant!:j

    Will keep popping back here over the next few days to see if any stragglers report in for duty and update the thread if so.

    Oh, and before I forget - I got another one today as well, taking my March total to 21 - yippee!!!:j:j


    See you all in April

    Morning all - yes I know its not March anymore, but after thinking Id got another NSD yesterday, I was scuppered at the last moment ! With 10 mins to go before leaving work I heard the dreaded "Janet, do you want to out in for soandsos birthday?" Just minutes from a clean escape!! :mad:I kind of expected it though and I dont really mind as its for a pal! ;)Anyhoo Im going to adjust my sig accordingly - see you over in the April thread!

    PS Just looking at the final tallies, everyone has done really well this month, even the guys that are a little short - dont beat yourself up, its making the effort that counts:T

    Have a great day all!:A


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Well managed to squeeze my last 2 NSD's in on Tues/weds so got to 20 (took lots of will power as got a real craving for some cad8urys mini eggs!!)

    Taking Mum out today to look round the shops and have a bit of a girlie day, so doubt it'll be a NSD, also looks likely that my good intentions on not buying any clothes will be wrecked (just like curlygirl!). Mum's are very bad influences, but you can't really put a price on a bit of quality time together and i'm sure we'll have a good laugh too.

    Well done on everyone's efforts in March and best of luck for April
