  • Managed my first NSD yesterday :)

    Have to stock up on nappies, toilet roll and bread today so won't manage a NSD, but have paid £80 of my £700 CC so feeling pretty good about that.

    It's going to be a spend day for me as well......

    Was going to do pie and mash for tea, but don't have any potatoes!!
    Pie and chips then - no chips!!
    Spag bol (got spaghetti) or Chille (got rice) - no garlic bread, which is essential with either!!
    Chicken supreme (got rice, and don't need garlic bread) - no mushrooms!!

    Can't do pork chops or roast chicken either due to the no potatoes, nor breaded chicken or battered fish as no chips :mad:


    So I need to have a quick look at how much freezer space I have (not much) to see if I have room to pick up both chips and garlic bread tonight (the latter is on offer as a twin pack, so even if I use one tonight I have to have space for the other), then decide what I'm doing tonight so I can pull relevant bits out of the freezer to defrost while I'm at work this afternoon.

    yahoo.gifNSD 20 today!! yahoo.gif
    Have been looking at my calendar and, as I've got 20+ for the last two months I will be going for 20 to start with in June. Still tweaking my plan but it seems to be working OK. May take a leaf out of Nargle's and CW18's books though and try to include all spends however they occur (direct debits, standing orders etc) in July. Too scary to do that in June, nead to prepare myself first!!!
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:
