    Hi solventsoon!
    thanks for standing in for BigMumma - hope she gets pc working again.

    I know i am late but I have posted at the end of last month's thread - I reached my target of 21!

    Can I please be included in April for 21 days again - although i think I might struggle as I have only 4 so far this month!

    good luck to everyone!
    Peace will be mine

    Hi everyone. OMG all that stuff about the night out and the "tuppence stuff" made me laugh. I'm a Liverpool lass and I thought it odd when BigMumma was talking about seeing her tuppance again! Well, I surpassed myself today - went to town, met my mate for lunch and came back home without any shopping. I only spent £12.50 on lunch (we had a 50% voucher for La Tasca - thanks to lovely Martin) - what a result! In all my years I have never ever before been to town and not bought anything - I even went into Debenhams who have that Blue Cross sale on at the moment - and STILL didn't buy anything! Amazing! Bye for now xx

    Not had a NSD since Monday :o ... Yesterday would have been but I gave in last night to a rare takeaway and ordered a Chinese! Oops ...

    Hoping for at least one NSD at the weekend, probably Sunday as I'll need to get some fruit, veg, and a few other bits at the market tomorrow. No other major plans for the weekend that will involve parting with cash!!

    Hi boultdj - do you think it's safe to confess now - are you sure you won't tell anyone else?? I haven't treated myself to anything, unfortunately, that's what makes it worse:(:(:(:(

    OK...... spent a fortune in Tesco..... lots of bargains and whoopsies so hopefully I won't have to spend too much during the rest of the month..
    usful 4 later this month
    then...
    I went to M&S and got some bedding I needed (not too bad so far)...
    Sleep well on 'em
    then.....
    I bought birthday presents for nephew and niece Hope they like 'em + there the last 1's to buy 4 this month

    then...
    I went to buy some bird seed for my birds Lucky bird's,mine get chopped bacon rind :rotfl:

    then...
    I had to get bloomin' petrol:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Damm,hope u did it early on whilst cool/cold

    then...
    I had to buy cartridges for my printer - Cartridge World don't stock the ones for my printer and it's too damn new for the cut-price places so I have to buy them direct and full price from the bloomin' manufacturer:mad::mad::mad: What r they playing at!no good 4 us who want 2 save money when they can't keep up with what's coming out.

    I want to cry:(:(:(:(:( :grouphug:Don't cry duck,I'll go get the Devil's 4 u if u want

    No 5 for me today :D . I was hoping for NSD weekend but with the Grand National tomorrow, I expect hubby will want to take part in the sweepstake that our neighbour runs every year, I know it's only a couple of pounds but it's a couple of pounds I don't want to spend :sad: unless of course we win....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Will let you know how we do. ;)

    I think leaving my purse at home is going to be the only way!

    How did you get on Niccatw? I don't think I could have coped with a visit to Ikea!

    An NSD for me today (THATS 5 NOW SPOONS) - still need to get my prescription though BAD GIRL. Going into town tomorrow.........need to do some financials at the bank and am hankering after some stationary (lovely new files :D) for my beloved financial records. Yep am that sad. BUT am going to try and resist. Don't need / want anything else. Tomorrow night though is going to be a Chinese and Wii fest at my sisters. Ah well that's it for now. Staying in tonight - got to save money for our Glasgow night :beer:
