  • woo woo....... I managed a NSD yesterday - hope you will be proud of me as I had to take my work friend to sainsburys to get the work shopping and normally I go in and shop, but I said Nope i can take you but I will sit out in the sun - so No Spend, and my lunch for Monday and Wednesday was left over stuff from the weekend and today is alunch out on the office.

    I think I might have to buy a few bits for supper tonight - but you never know I might even get in one more!

    Can't believe I got a Pony and now a nice Nana.. for my first time! Next month I need to up my targets!

    Everyone is doing so well!!

    NSD no 17 for me today please! Am doing really well, possibly helped by the fact I went to the dentist, got home and fell asleep for four hours, then did the shred, went jogging (as soon as I finished the heavens opened and I got drenched, but was a very welcome cool down - the sun is now out and probably will be for the next week lol)

    I WILL get no 18 tomorrow and squeakkk into another month of spending buggar all!

    Hi NSDers

    Well done all, a lot of ponies I can see
    Yesterday was NSD 15 for me, target reached, quite unexpectedly, as I thought I would have to spend about £3.00 on a bag of onions and some chopped tomatoes to make a pasta sauce, but somehow, i managed to find half onion leftover in the fridge, and some tomato puree - so i had to make do with that.

    Today is NSD 16 (Target exceeded:cool::cool:).

    Cupboards are now virtually empty, if you know what I mean, there is just 2 tins of chick peas, 1 tin of lentils, 2 tins kidney beans, (I plan to make loads of mixed bean soup and freeze it) 2 tins of baked beans and things like bicarbonate of soda, yeast etc left in there, much easier to clean without shifting things about.

    The freezer is quite "spacious" now, didnt realise it was so big:D, all that's left is the snow, which I'll clean out tonight to make way for the groceries on the first of July. June was a big-groceries free month:j:j, all down to clearing the cupboards out and making a meal out of nothing...

    I'm hoping for another NSD on wednesday, so can I revise my target to 17 please spoon.

    For july all my dds are now moved to one date, enabling me to set a higher target of 20 please spoon.

    NSDs for me saturday and today please Spoon, so my total is now 10. No way I can meet my target now.

    Spent on clothes shopping sunday (including new bargain shoes, nearly worth failing for).

    But I don't like failing so think I'll go for 10 next month please.
