Morning everyone! Hope youre all well today!

Just getting prepared to do a little grocery shop and trip to post office. Shouldnt be a big spend tho!

Sadly, I cannot report a NSD for yesterday as my friend from work who was treating me had a sudden bereavement yesterday morning. I feel terrible for her as she had a terrible shock.

I bought my lunch for the first time for ages as I always take a packed lunch. It made me realise (again) just how much I save just by doing this - £1.79 for a tuna roll out of Greggs and 89p for a can of Irn BrU - BLOOMIN OUTRAGEOUS:mad::mad::mad: What a profit they must make!!

OK - rant over!!

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Really sorry to hear about your friend, jintyb, that's awful, hope she's OK.

And, yes, doing this for a while makes you realise how bloomin' expensive shop-bought sandwiches are:mad::mad:

@ solventsoon, The harry potter one isnt quite yet.
First Rocky Horror at Knebworth, then Regency Gentleman and Hermione at Wadfest then Lady Margolotta - reformed vampire at the Discworld convention.
After that Armadacon where I shall be Aunty Entity from Beyond Thunderdome. Just have to spray my crossbow silver

I'm intrigued, rentawitch, that sounds like fun:j:j:j

Will be having a NSD today cause i can't be bothered to go out!!!
Sorting through bank stuff, will finally tally how much i spent over the last couple of days!!!:eek:
Will need to transfer some of my savings over i think or we might struggle to pay everything!!! Whoops, never mind!!
I'll get back on that pony and ride down the MSE route again!!!!
Feeling a bit flat today!! OH has a job interview this afternoon, and i can't really be motivated to do much...............
Although i do have to add, i just applied for a job!!! That was a leap!! Ive been off work 4 yrs, cause i had a breakdown, it just seemed like too much of a opportunity to pass up, supporting others to live a independent life!!! I'd really enjoy that!!!!
Wish me luck..................

Off now to try and get some motivation, if anyone has some spare or can give me a kick up the bum, would be appreiated!!!!!!

Love to all.....................

Hi TMVen, well you did ask...



Good luck to OH with the interview and good luck to you with the job application - sounds right up your street!

Hope you get your NSD today:j

too busy to spend money, so another for me please Spoon, was so tired this morning I couldn't remember if I had claimed or not but I did so I'm not as daft as I thought i was, cos that will be a relief but OH still thinks I'm daft.

Did any of that make any sense at all??

errrrr.........



I think you might gather from that, pdd, that I'm now totally confused...

You're on 14 as of yesterday, is there another one for today? If so, you've made your target of 15.......

Just wanted to check, sorry if being dim:o

OMG can't believe i forgot to share my good fortune (remembered just as i pressed submit!!)
Got a letter today telling me i have been compensated £100 for the bank drama last week :j :j
That more than made up for the hours i spent sorting it. Asked them to pay it straight to the card to help with my debtbusting :A

Brilliant news, BDINI, really pleased to hear that. Would have thought it's the least they could have done, tbh, but something is better than nothing:j:j

Awww 3Dogs you can borrow my pony until you get yours I managed another NSD today taking my total to 19, well I think I did... I got a code from Mr T for free delivery when you spend over £50, so I've put an order in today but it isn't being delivered until Tuesday so money won't go out of the bank until then, so was it a spend or not Spoon? I'll wait and see what the consensus is before I update my total to 19 in my signature.

As an aside my Mr T total was just over £58 with the £3.50 delivery, but when I put the code in, it took £6 off so I got £2.50 off my shopping as well. Used the code to stock up on cat food for DH's cat and some store cupboard bits and bobs, so rather pleased with that. I didn't realise that free delivery could net more than the actual delivery.

The nut roast sounds nice CW, I used to make a cashew nut roast and really enjoyed it, not had nut roast for ages, mind you nuts are so expensive these days I find, hope you get all the paperwork and student finance sorted out, they don't half make people jump through hoops. Off for an early night, been a long day.

Hi Herby
Not sure about that one, what does everyone else think - spend day today or spend day Tuesday?

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Hope you’re all well today and enjoying some fine weather. Lots more NSDs rolling in today as well, you lovely people are keeping me out of mischief at the moment:j:j..

Target met today:
Looloo: :jyay, you are indeed at no 8 so have made your target - well done, that’s brilliant.:j The little blue pony is now yours and will be trotting across the page next to your name in a few minutes..

Well done to:
:jchris81418: well done for no 14 - you’re on a serious roll now - brilliant! Great news about ebay - liking the profit days!:T

And thanks:o.....
:jrentawitch: well done for no 6 - that’s brilliant! Only 2 more to get now, keep going!
Re putting off spending money, as long as you don’t spend, then it’s an NSD, consolidating spends (ie thinking about what you’re spending and when) is the way to get NSDs as it makes you think about what you really need rather than just going out and buying stuff willy-nilly.:)
Hmmm.... new computer monitor - must be essential, I would think, otherwise how would you be able to come on here and be inspired to get NSDs?;)
:jKeiss 21: well done for no 16 - that’s brilliant, fingers crossed for your target (any pony) at the weekend!! Hope chiropractor and spending go well tomorrow.

cw18: glad you had a good FB chat and enjoyed the M@rs bar. Oooh, more milk, now there’s a surprise:rotfl:... but glad to hear the milk monster brings some benefits in the form of free dentist treatment:T..
and more bargains today - brilliant

moneypenny2k: fingers crossed for another for you tomorrow:)
Nargle: 9 is a great total, but fingers crossed for another 1 or 2 on top for you:)

3Dogs: oh dear to missing your planned NSD today:(... what a pain. Roll on Saturday and the pony award!!:)

And I managed to avoid my spendy day today and got myself another NSD taking me to the dizzy heights of no 20:j.... and feeling very pleased with myself. Spendy day tomorrow though (and a serious one to boot!!)...

Another NSD for me today which makes it NSD Number 8. I'm going back to work on Monday after being off sick for 5 months so am hoping I might be able to get another NSD in before then.

Well done everyone on NSD's and targets completed, you're an inspiration to all :beer:

Hi, I'm back. I've been in bed with the flu for the past 6 days but the upside to that is I wasn't able to spend any money so I hit my target of 20 NSDs :j. As there are still 6 more days left in June, spoon, can you please revise my target to 24 - many thanks. I should only need to have two more spends days so I'm feeling confident that I should be able to squeeze in 4 more NSDs. Hope I haven't jinxed myself! I can see this thread has been going at full speed, it will be interestiing to see how long it takes me to read through the many posts. Great to see people hitting their targets.
