    Today had been going really well - I did the weekly shop but that doesn't count (does it?) and spent nothing else at all - until about half an hour ago when OH and I decided that we "needed" a Pizza Hut delivery - at least we're paying half each..........
    No plans for tomorrow as yet so hopefully it'll be a NSD - fingers crossed.
    Have a good evening - we're scoffing pizza and watching rubbish telly to recover from a joint hangover.

    I don't think the weekly shop counts as a spend as it's a necessity.

    Morning everyone - very early today, insomnia strikes again! Bloomin steroids - brilliant for sorting out my Crohns but make as hyper as the Duracell bunny! :rotfl:
    Decorating going to plan - on schedule to have painting finished today - yay!
    NSD Number 1 yesterday! :) Great idea Solvent, to keep a running total - but a LOT of work for you. Thanks so much for your efforts!:A
    Have a great Saturday!
    Hi jintyb, well done on NSD no 1:j. Not so good on the early starts though:(. Glad the decorating is going well, hopefully all finished by now:).
    Actually it isn't too much work to update the total, if everyone thinks it will give them some motivation then I'm happy to do it, it doesn't take long at all:)

    Thanks LadyfromVenice and solventsoon for your replies, think I will allocate karate money on a Monday, which is nearly always a spend day for me anyway. Congratulations on your daughters black belts Ladyfrom Venice, I've seen how much hard work is involved in gaining them! DS is a green belt so a way to go yet, but he's loves the training and works hard so he'll get there.
    Solventsoon can you please record my two NSD's days for April so far :j
    Hi missylaney, great glad we could help - that seems to sort the problem for you, hopefully. Well done on the 2 NSDs,:j will add them now:)

    NSD No. 2 for me today as I'm not going out. Decided to stay in and declutter - yuck!!! Solventspoon many thanks for your words of encouragement and for keeping this thread organised. How you keep on top of everything I don't know... I'm am so impressed. Here's to lots more NSD days for everyone :beer:
    Hi micron, well done on no 2 :j. Declutter..... what was that again.... can I borrow you when you've finished your house? That's really nice of you, thanks, it isn't much work though, tbh, I have a very organised mind (just not a very organised house unfortunately:o).

    Yay 2 NSD's for me so far. Managed one on Thursday at my dad's & today is going to be one too, have resisted the temptation to go to the pub, & then managed to talk myself out of popping for wine & chocolate.
    Am in my scruffs stripping the dining room walls, so far to scruffy to go out now!!!!
    Hi butdoineedit?, well done for 2:j, going great there... And well done for resisting all those temptations..... and taking advantage of not going out to do the decorating:)

    I'm declaring no 2 today. :j Tomorrows going to be easy peasy, since everywhere is closed.....:rotfl:I will just have to slap my hands if I'm tempted by online shopping...:eek:
    Hi karenccs67, another one doing really well:j. Sit on hands if tempted by online shopping:)
    Hallelujah:j:j
    Got one, aliens were so cold after the seaside, they have taken a couple of days to get back on form, but to-day I have done it, a completely spend free day, first one of many this month, I hope.
    There Biggmumma how positive was that????:j:j
    Hi pure dead dopey, I think BigMumma would be very impressed with that positive thinking, I am:). Well done for no. 1, aliens are obviously back on top form again:) Hope you enjoyed your day at the seaside, despite nearly getting hypothermia:(
