    So near & yet so far.... was really on track for a NSD, spent the morning attacking the ivy & then started on pulling a wall & cupboard out in the kitchen till my arms developed a stonking rash & started itching!! :eek:

    Had to pop out & buy some antihistamine as it was driving me crazy, so ended up spending after all, am sooooo mad :mad:
    Still it'll be useful for my upcoming jollies in case of bites, & my arms feel better already.

    Right back to ripping the cupboard out *rubs back & starts swinging the crowbar again*

    :hello: Hi everyone, glad to see you're all enjoying the beautiful weather. Haven't posted on here for a few days but I've been keeping an eye on you all on my mobile! Dont seem to be able to post from my phone though.

    I'm now at 10 NSDs so far this month - thursday and friday were both NSDs (my first ever four in a row - woohoo!) but yesterday and today have both been spend days, quite low though thankfully. Off back into the garden to make the most of the weather now! xx

    Spend spend spend... does it count if I bought on the credit card and will pay that off next month? giggle... but £9 for a cashmere jumper I could not resist - then it was down hill when I got into TKMax!

    I am seriously wondering if I will make my 20 days!
    Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

    Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather.

    Not been online for a few days so will need to catch up on all the posts a little later. Just quickly updating that I am on NSD No. 14 and hoping to have a few NSDs in the week ahead. Really busy at work and got lots of decluttering to do at home so that should keep me busy and away from spending any money. Ciao for now.

    A very non-NSD today - went to sign up at the council gym and had to fork out a huge £54! For this month, next month, plus the £10 joining fee.

    Now, the £19.90 membership is far cheaper than my old gym, and I do go regularly once Im signed up, so its a good investment in terms of entertainment hours, I guess. The staff are really nice and non-snobby as well, so I guess its ok in the long run but grrr I could have used that £10 somewhere else!

    Good going everyone, really impressed at the people doing 10-15 days only halfway through the month!
