    Morning all


    Well Monday was NSD 20 :j. Yesterday needed to buy more milk & veg/fruit (how exciting!!). I'm trying to eat heathily after over indulging a bit(!) on my hols, but then what are hols for?

    Today will definitely be another NSD so i'll have managed to exceed my target.3.gif

    Well done everyone on the amazing number of NSD's and a big thanks to Spoon once again for all the hard work. (I think these ponies, elephants, bananas etc are proving to be a major incentive to us all) and to everyone else for their encouragement, support and fab sense of humour4.gif


    Could you put me down for 20 again in July (can't wait to see what we'll get for reaching our targets)

    Morning, yesterday was a NSD for me so yeah I reached my target of 6, a small target but was a very busy month. I'd like to try again in July please and increase my target to 10.

    Thanks for keeping track Spoon. Well done to everyone who reached or exceeded their target. :j:j:j:j:j:j

    The front page looks fab, well done everyone and thank you Spoon, you're doing fab work :A

    Well, I've finished on 5, yesterday was the dentist and as I was spending anyway, I took DD2 swimming which was so much fun and definitely money well spent.

    I've also had a small SD today, I'm feeling very sorry for myself this morning (although catching up with this thread has made me smile) so I called in the shop on the way home from school run and bought some biscuits to go with the coffee thats brewing. DD2 is watching Mickey Mouse so I'm going to have a surf with coffee and biscuits and try and snap myself out of this mood :)

    Off to see if there is a thread for July :wave:

    Well im declaring NSDs 21/20 for June :j

    No spend today and just about to start a night shift :o

    I'm chuffed because it takes me just over half-way to my yearly target. Don't think I would have achieved this without everyone's motivation on here :T (and the prospect of the odd pony or too :D).

    See you on Julys' shiny new thread .................

    Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday was a NSD day, but today will be a planned spend day so I'm declaring at 17 NSDs - just 2 short of my target of 19, but it has been a tough month so very pleased with my 17.

    Spoon - I'll aim once again for a target of 19 NSD in July - thanks as always for keeping the threads updated and going - see you all on the July one!

    I had another NSD yesterday! so I am now up to 11! (had fishfingers and chips for tea out of the freezer so no need to spend)

    Not sure about today - I do need salad - but I'm hoping Mr Looloo might buy that....

    thank you Spoon for my banana, I like a banana.

    Won't have another to-day as had to collect DS from airport at the crack of dawn to-day and had to buy a cup of tea while waiting for the delayed flight, so I could have had another couple of hours in bed!!!

    oK need to work out our NSDs for July, due to severe lack of funds we are "going camping" first time for 35 years. Could well turn into a epic "The Dopeys Carry on Camping" type experience. We've borrowed the tent and equipment and as this is Mr Dopey's idea, he will be in charge, I will be reclining on an airbed sipping a cocktail while he does all the campsite duties, I may deign to be navigator as Mr Dopey is a man and is therefore rubbish at navigating.

    So opportunities for NSDs may be limited, (may have to pay a few bails for Mr Dopey when the tent falls down) I have a very particular list for where this tent is going to go.
    Near the sea
    Near a pub, shop and tearoom/restaurant
    not wet
    not noisy/busy/full of other peoples children (sorry to those who have but been there done that and have several teeshirts)
    note to Mr Dopey, when I say near, I mean near, ie walkable in 4 inch heals in comfort (not that I'm going to walk around in 4in heels, just want Mr Dopey to get a verrrrry clear picture before we set off..........)

    Have I missed anything? this could be great or it could end in tears and we both need a holiday and this is what funds dictate..........

    wish me luck, not going to later on in the month though, so will plough some NSDs before we set off on the great adventure, anyone know a film team who want some great material.............

    Afternoon campers, lovely day here although it seems a bit cooler thankfully.

    No NSD here today I'm afraid as I am picking up my cookery mags from Asda today :D

    I've just realised that while DH was off last week, we went to London to see The Lion King and I didn't spend a penny at all. Dh even gave me the money to go to the loo on Charing Cross Station - it must be love d_kiss.gif

    Oooh dopey good luck with the camping, that is something I could never do I'm afraid. The nearest we got to camping was staying in a caravan..lol But after a while we upgraded to a cottage because I felt claustrophobic JC_slobber.gif

    Have been thinking about next month and I thought it was going to be a biggy but DH is giving me the money for the County Show later in the month, and I have some money that a friend owed me that I am paying in to the bank so that can cover my expenditures. Although ideally I would like to save this if I can.JC-hysterical.gif So I think I will go for
    17 NSD's again Spoon for July JC_clapgirl.gif


    Oooh when are we having our Wimbledon bash, or have I missed it? Pleae don't say I missed it as I have a lovely little white skirt and white frilly undies just for this JC_veryhappy.gif

    Well done to everyone that has reached their targets, way to go JC_boogie.gifJC_clap.gifJC_boogie.gif And to everyone that is struggling, tomorrow is another month and another target JC_cheesy.gif
