Madness, "May"hem & MoneySaving: Welcome to the NSD Challenge

Thanks Spoon

New eating plan is going ok, had a bit of strop yesterday because I wanted some chocolate, but I cooked my dinner as soon as I got in and I was fine. I did have one bag of cheesy poofs, but at least it isn't everyday, so that has to be better than before.

And on that note, I'm going to go for gold with number 10 today

Have a great day everyone.

Am being useless at NSDs!
I'm not spending a fortune but a pound or two every day - I'm within budget but really WANT NSDs!
I'm off to see Peter Kay tonight - my best friend bought us the tickets as a belated wedding present bless her! We're having tea before we go so it may only be parking and a drink to pay for.

I will try harder!!!

Declaring now!!!!

yesterday went from bad to worse, between losing an hour snoozing and coughing at everyone, just gave up and bought a pizza I know I know, not a good move, but its done and I have enough left over for to-day's lunch, so a bit MSE. AND OH has my lurgy, of course his is the much more serious version that men get, so he is lying upstairs coughing and spluttering, may send the aliens up to see if they can sort him out!!!
So not going anywhere, not doing anything and certainly not buying anything, so there!!!!

Right am off!!!!! :wave:
Will think of you all as i am lying on the beach, will seem very strange actually allowing myself to spend every day!!! :eek: But am determined will only be food & drink & will not be bringing back any tacky unnecessary souvenirs, or fake designer clothes!!!!!

Will however stock up on duty free to fill our hip flasks in brighton.... I have a feeling some of us may need a warming little nip when getting lost & attacking seats on stolen lawnmowers :rotfl:

See you all in a week & good luck with the NSD's....

Last of the selling is done: used the money to buy milk, a poster and a new tin for moneysaving....so in effect, it IS an NSD as it's money neutral again - used £2 from yesterday to go with my Boots thing and got some face wipes

I have that failing feeling this month!....

Please mind your language!We don't use the 'f' word on here thankyouverymuch
Seriously tho the main reason for me doing this Challenge to to monitor what, where & how much I spend thru any given time, so that can only be a good thing. Even those days I do spend all help me to concentrate on what is important to me & my family, & not what the advertisers & 'experts' try to tell me I 'need'.

Perhaps we could all go to the 'other' beach the nudist one and do away with the Star Wars costumes - the gay pride and bikers can come along too of course !!!!! The mind boggles

How would we tell them apart :think: unless we're all going to wear plastic tulips in our hair And I'll apologise in advance, cuz there ain't no mass-seen invented to get these wrinkles outta MY birthday suit!

Up to No 13 as of last night, so quite chuffed with that

Duty free sounds good - think we'll definitely need it if we're on the nudist beach in Brighton:eek::eek:

Declaring that I've officially left the nasty number of 13 behind me, as today is NSD #14 :T

The lady who was off sick on Monday apparently came in this morning for her 6am start, but had gone home again by 7:15. If it weren't for the help of a young lass from elsewhere in the store (and also some help from the lady who bakes off the meat pies using ovens in the bakery) I'm not sure I'd have survived today at all.......

Just hoping the other lady is back tomorrow - or Friday at the very least. If not, I can see me spending all of my weekend away either sleeping or yawning my head off I'm totally ker-nacked already, which isn't helped by the fact I mowed my lawns after work yesterday !!! (I worked 6am-4pm yesterday, 9am-5pm today, and am in 8am-5pm tomorrow and 7am-5pm on Friday - but at least I get an hours lunch break Thur & Fri like I did yest)
