    Think it's 14 I'm up to now. Need to get a train later, but that's being paid back, and I've got a free ticket for the cinema tomorrow, all I have to do is review the film.

    :hello: Hi all NSD'ersxx

    Well I had my organised spend yesterday due to having to put money into the retirement fund. I really think I've covered everything, petrol, leccy, tobacco. enough rizlas to wallpaper my living room (am not getting caught out like last time!!!!!) and even something nice in the fridge to have while watching Dr Who on iplayer when I get in tonight :)

    managed to get to work today without popping into the shop for a drink or any snacks by eating breakfast and bringing my own squash in with me :) so I am up to 11:j

    Sooooooo can I get through 5 consecutive days? I must I must I must............ omg this will be so close...........i'm actually excited !!! Just step away from the cash machine...........

    Well done all on targets met and exceeded and everyone getting NSD's :T Thanks again Spoon for the thread and the updates :kisses3:You are all so encouraging

    Oh, and just before I went off the radar I took DH2 (Darling Horse :)) to our first ever jumping competition and we came fourth - quite simply the scariest thing i have ever ever done!!! Very very very proud of her though, all I do is point her in the right direction and she does the rest :) xx

    Katenut, Shouldn't darling horse be DH1 and hubbie relegated to DH2, especially as geegee did so well (congrats to you both) and hubbie drilled into your finger and then rushed off to golf leaving you to clear up his mess

    By the way - question time!! How old is your geegee, how long have to had her, how tall is she, do you keep her at livery/look after her yourself, is she mostly stabled or in a field,etc, etc, etc. Pardon me for asking, but I just love horses and used to do a lot of riding many moons ago, and I am nosey!!!! I always wanted a pony when I was young, but we never had enough money for me to get one, though I did look after one for a year or so, so I 'borrowed' him.

    And after all that, I get my pony today Spoon with NSD number 17 - Yipee. I've not been out and have to plans to do so now. Hubbie was out doing a car boot this morning - he was up at 2 am and got back in at 3 pm, after a bite to eat, he is now in bed - so he won't be going anywhere later either.

    Now I have to decide on what to set as my revised target - fingers - toes - diary - yep - make that 20 for my new revised target Spoon please, Sunday as a spend day and the remaining days of Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday should be NSD's so I might as well go for all of them to round it off with a nice fat 20

    Yesterday was number 14:) for me please spoon. Today isn't NSD for me unfortunately, it's all essential spending though. I plan not to spend tomorrow, and will confirm if all goes as planned.

    Zizz quite easy once you get the hang--you got your first number right, then you add the second number right, take away the other number then count all the sticky out bits right, in the room but after you've divided by the number of ears in a flock of sheep times legs in an ant nest & added on 7. Goddit?

    Clear as mud!!! Tried it on my grocery shop & feel much better already :rotfl:

    Naughty BDINI today, as bought 2 pairs of shoes, but in my defence they were only 6 squid each from Mr A & i do really need new summer shoes for work that fasten onto my feet so they don't fall off if i'm legging it away from trouble!!

    Made up for it with some serious DIY today, one day i will have a house that looks finished!!
    Now off for a quick drink as it's the landlords retirement do at the local, shall be good & stick to my usual £5 budget tho :beer:

    Have a great evening everyone.... & Katenut, enjoy your BBQ, you deserve it!!
