I'm loving the holidays but can't do many nsd's while lovely people keep inviting me out for lovely coffee and cake at lovely coffee shops! Tonight at M&S, tomorrow at a garden centre - so looks like next nsd will be Friday (hopefully) How many days are there left in April?!Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Yipppeeee, NSD no 3 today :j. Helped mainly by doing shopping yesterday, and working all day today !!
Plan on making tomorrow another NSD...not sure about Friday...we'll see!
It 's a beautiful evening tonight...would love to work in the garden for a bit, but have tea to sort and, well, actually my back is a bit cream-crackered after my first full day at work for over 15 months!! So I will enjoy a stroll in the garden and perhaps a sit down to listen to the birds and soak up some rays!

Think we managed to get through about.........£80although in that I got my dad a birthday pressie which he will love, and it was reduced to a fiver. I havent redeemed myself with that purchase at all :rotfl:even at a fiver!
Must focus and try harder! :j0 -

Aww thats sad - would definately rather take Dawn than Lenny out for a night on the tiles tho!
A massive spend day for me as my wages finally cleared - food shopping, paid all the bills, bought all the last minute bits for the wedding etc etc. Am feeling very proud tho as I've got everything for the bare minimum from Ebayand also I took my mum into town to get her 'mother of the bride' outfit - she got a new top, bag, shoes, hair-thingy (fascinator?!?) and jacket for under £70. I got away with not spending anything I hadnt already planned - woohoo! Looks like we're going to come in well under budget for the wedding, except all the people we invited who we thought wouldnt come have said they're coming - oops!
I also had a complete meltdown mid-afternoon and needed emergency chocolate so my only unplanned spend today was 50p on a tube of smarties!Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:0 -
I am officially declaring a NSD - just had a bath and am now in jimjams so no spending possible now!
Am quite pleased with myself.
I think tomorrow will probably be a spending day as I will have to post something but will keep it low.
Now on 3 out of 10!0 -
No 3 NSD for me! : )
Think i will be spending tomorrow as seeing a mate, so will get bus to hers and then going out for a meal on friday (being paid for) but might have to buy a couple drinks. Will try to keep spends as low as poss.0
