    I got one last NSD today, bringing my total up to 16 this month - one over target!! I think its the first time I've exceeded my target as well, which is amazing considering how badly I was doing at the middle of the month.

    Off over to sign up to the July thread now - see you all there!!
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Whoopeee....Andy won....and I got NSD no 18, so made my target!!! :j:j Pony please Spoon!!

    Shame Fed has gone out..can't wait for the semis on Friday..should be back from collecting DS1 and his uni stuff by the time they start.

    It has been a funny old month, totally blown the GC budget, yet reached my NSD target...but ready to start in July again :o.

    Not sure what to aim for next month as we are away to Scotland next week for a fortnight, so spending could be erratic....will ponder
    it over for a bit.

    Off to get the washing in and perhaps actually do some ironing....I do like my new iron, though it does use its water up quickly!


    Night, Night...see you all over on the new July thread.

    {{{{{Anonymoose}}}}}} my sympathies for the loss of your little one, I totally empathise, when I had my Pye PTS at the beginning of the month my spending and everything went to pot, but the lovely NSD'rs gave me lots of tea and sympathy and I'm now back on track, we're all here for you, losing a treasured pet is hard, getting over it is a very slow process, I still have teary moments, but each day gets a little better as I'm sure it will do for you.

    Last day of the month was NSD number 20 for me so I've hit my revised target - get that 'nana peeled and dancing Spoon

    I'm off now to work out how many NSD's I can get next month with our holiday at the end of the month and then I'll find the July thread to post my target

    Edit: Soooo sorry to hear about your dear little pet Anonymoose - big or small, all pets become part of our lives and leave a big hole when they go -thinking of you XXX

    Hi anonymoose
    I am so sorry to hear that, horrible thing to have to do and it throws you right off your stride.

    Look after yourself, it takes a while to get over something like that so spoil yourself for a bit.

    ((((hugs))))

    Hi SPOON, apologies for calling you "scrooge", I was sending a post on another thread to a poster called "scrooge" so I obviously wasn't paying attention. You are far from a "scrooge". Am I forgiven? Guess what? I had another NSD today takiing me to 25. Can I have the spinning smiley... or have I spoilt my chances.;)?

    Congratulations on smashing your target. :T
