BigMumma: yay - :jwell done for no 5!!!
I’m intrigued - what are you going as - can’t quite work out where the beaver lamb coat fits into Star Wars;)

And hello to everyone else:
pure dead dopey: we’re all allowed a treat occasionally - hope you enjoyed the takeaway yesterday - and, yes, cooking defeats me sometimes as well. As for your aliens eating cat poo:eek:
Hope the shopping went OK today and you stuck to your budget.;)
Arrggghhh to that icecream - what on earth was in it - £2 per scoop:eek:
BDINI: hi, glad the smile is back - that’s better.:)
Hope the shopping went well and you stuck to your list, keeping my fingers crossed for you
Update: well done, you did - and you got some bargains there as well - brilliant!
You are getting so organised now - well done for that as well.:T
Enjoy your drink this evening - you deserve a treat!;)
Tixy: low spend day is OK - they’re allowed occasionally.:)
Saturdays usually prove difficult - hope today wasn’t too expensive for you.
NSDs are really about being organised and trying to group as many spends together as possible - sometimes it takes a bit of practice - keep trying though, you’ll get there.;)
Love that revolving cake - it’s brilliant!:T
Nargle: hope today’s spend day wasn’t too painful and good luck for an NSD tomorrow:)
hmmmm.... come to think of it, you’re right about elderflowers - elderflower champagne has a definite hint of tom cat wee;)
LadyfromVenice: oh no, I missed Brighton Pier on the news. You’re right about the Greens, the aliens will fit in nicely now and we’re with them, taking them into custody!!:rotfl:
jintyb: you make sure you hang onto that mechanic - won’t find another like him!:)
4ply is enough to put anyone off - stick to chunky or double knit, much quicker!!
Blimey, £36 for the dogs hairdo - that’s more than I spend on mine:eek: he’ll be on cheap food and water now for the rest of the month!!
Fingers crossed for an NSD for you tomorow - and happy knitting!!:)
elfen: hope you had a good time at your parents. Fingers crossed for normal service from tomorrow:)
Dorastar: well done - like the tactics of conning DH into buying the pressies! Yes, I like your thinking about the shoes as well - my mind would work in a similar way:)
Enjoy the lunch out tomorrow, hope it goes well.
Arrggh to a 2-week half-term.....

Well I managed another NSD today as well - now on no 7, so very pleased with myself:j:j

Off now to do the usual update, see you all tomorrow:)

Just dropping in for number 5 today. Was seriously tempted by some shoes yesterday, but I remained strong.

Half way to my target

Healthy eating, not so good, salt and vinegar sticks and one milka bar consumed. However I did have salad for tea, and wine, so lots of healthy grapes and things there.

bad food + good food = good-right?

Hello :hello:

Please put me down for no 4 today

Good morning, fully expect today to be a NSD, but will not be counting chickens (apart from the two in the garden). Will confirm later.

Yesterday took me up to 6 NSDs! A good start to the month; however, today will be a spend day as we need to do a weekly food shop - have a good rest of the weekend everyone!

Hi I'm a little late joining this thread this month (have had some things occupying my mind and taking it off of the DFW focus!) but I'm back in the game again today! I failed miserably last month and only achieved 6/12 NSDs! So am going to pledge 6 this month and hopefully will achieve more...

Agent Baileys Babe reporting in, I've been missing in action for a few days, partly due to DD having a nasty cold & fever, she just wanted to be held and she screamed if I sat down :mad:, just like she used to when she was a new born, my Dad recons she has altitude :rotfl:. Thankfully she is getting better and has on occasion toddled a few steps from my side.

Having caught up with this thread earlier in the week I am now woefully behind and think the only way back is to cheat and just read the daily round ups.

I am declaring today a NSD as we will not be going near a shop as we are removing the inch deep bitumen from the living room floor that is covering stone flags. Plus loads of housework, if any time remains we will have a walk in the wood, enjoying the bluebels.

6 NSD's so far for May.

thanks - it's not going up as quickly as I'd like! But then I'm impatient :rotfl:

Today won't be a NSD for me as I need to pop so Sainsbugs to get some stuff for the week have a good day everyone x
