Attack April with An Alternative Approach; the NSD Challenge.

Swinstie73

Ok, just caught up, read back to front and was getting highly excited about the night out in Glasgow til I realised it was a virtual night out! Guess no hangover I suppose! Can highly recommend the lifting of kilts

butdoineedit?

Yay it worked!!! In & out of the post office £2 something spent on postage & enough time to grab a cuppa (free in the office) before back to work!!!!

Aargh :mad: to the fact that i've got home & found 2 books have sold on Greenmetropolis tho, that means another spend day tomorrow.... same plan me thinks cos at least then i know nothing unnecessary will come out of my purse!!

Out for a drink with a friend tonight :beer: will try not to spend tooo much but very necessary as i've not seen her for 6 weeks & miss her loads. To be fair, i could easily spend the drinks money on unnecessary rubbish in the supermarket, so don't feel too bad about spending... & it is sunny beer garden weather!!!

Well done everyone who got a NSD, i'm definitely aiming for at least one of the weekend days to be a NSD... fingers crossed!!

NSD 1 for me today. Yay!

NSD No 7 for me today :j. In between decluttering (not seeing the benefits of that just yet - still got loads of stuff to go through!) and working I have not had a chance to spend any money so that's brill. I'm trying to hold out until the weekend but I think I may need to buy some petrol tomorrow. Sounds like everybody is really getting on with not spending unnecessarily. I think April is going to be a great month for all of us NSDers!! :T

At last, I'm on track for my 1st NSD of the month! No plans for leaving the flat again tonight, so here's hoping the Betterware guy doesn't turn up with my order! Must work on being more organised!

If it's getting too crowded at Pure Dead Dopey's place, there's plenty of room for overspill at mine Oh, and I'll pass on the deep fried mars bar but I am rather partial to a deep fried pizza

And I found these guys wandering about lost. I have captured them for us

aeugh Nic, not the deep fried pizza, think about it, deep fried pizza????

thanks for this, it was getting a bit crowded in the DS's pit, I think I might know some of those.....................

Hi everyone - delighted to announce my second NSD of the month - woohoo! Won't manage one tomorrow though cos I'm meeting an old friend for lunch in town - though hopefully will only spend on lunch and not be tempted by the shops! That's so funny about your night out - I thought it was an actual one you were planning! Bye for now xx

Swinstie73: :wave:welcome back, sorry it took you so long to find us. Signing you up for 12 and well done for 2 already.:j (I did however notice the “f” word in your post - we don’t use that word on here, luckily BigMumma doesn’t seem to have spotted it so far...) Are you coming along to the virtual night out in Glasgow?:)

Well done to the following for new NSDs:

micron: :jYay... well done for no 7... I still have loads of decluttering that needs doing when you’ve finished - you seem to have got the hang of it now!;) I also think April’s going to be a great month for all the NSDers:)
BlimusOreilly: :jwell done for no 5 - doing great there. Look forward to lots more updates
mookiepook: :jwoohoo for no 2, well done.... Hope you enjoy your lunch tomorrow. We’re all a bit mad on here - slightly surreal conversations going on most of the time - you’ll get used to us, and you can join in with our night out if you’d like to - you’re very welcome..:)

And hello to everyone else:
anonymoose: that’s definitely a low spend day by my reckoning. Hope you’ve had a good day:)
Changingme: thanks for the update, more NSDs will be coming along very soon, I can feel it in my bones..... Hope you’re pleased with the haircut?:)
slowlyfading: keeping my fingers crossed for you again - it worked yesterday:)
gettingthereslowly: fingers crossed for you as well:)
pure dead dopey: LSD not bad at all..... Good idea about getting the round sorted out before hitting the bar - saves arguments as well...... Oooh, rugby-playing escorts.......:):)
butdoineeedit?: well done for today, but arrrggggh to having to spend on postage again tomorrow:eek:..... have you thought about setting some money aside at the beginning of the week for postage and taking any that you need during the week from that? Might help you with your NSDs?
nicca: keeping my fingers crossed your betterware order doesn’t turn up and you get your first NSD.... Thanks for the offer of accommodation and love the kilts.... think I might have run into the odd one or two of them during some of my nights out:o:o

I've had a mega-spend day today, far too embarrassed to share the details at the moment with everyone else doing so well... will be back later to spill the beans when you've all gone to bed and I can confess on my own:o:o:o

Well done everyone and thanks for all the posts today:A
