    Number 3 for me today, phew :)

    My day off today, had a very MSE day as well - didn't spend a penny and have listed 28 items on Eb@y. Did have lots of exciting horse related activities planned but got rained off, feeling a bit smug for making good use of my day :D. Just need to stop obsessively checking to see if I've had any bids yet!

    Just made bean curry for tea - DH hasn't [STRIKE]complained about[/STRIKE] mentioned the lack of meat so he either liked it or didn't notice it was meat-free! Very filling as well, yummy.

    Have only had time for a quick read through the thread, so:

    cw18 - hope you are feeling better! The illness sounds horrible, and the decluttering chaos even worse x

    Keiss - congratulations on your windfall! How lovely for you :)

    Hi to everyone else, hugs to those that need them, and well done to every single NSD you've all got so far.

    Right, off back to Eb@y to check those bids...........:D
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Today was definitely a spend day for me :mad: My "sandwich" dinner turned into a £10 spend, doh!

    I'll try to be better for the rest of the week. Well done to everyone!

    No NSD for me....got a couple of pretty tops in Primark (on sale!) and I desperately needed new jeans that fit.
    Tomorrow, however, will be.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Snap Katenut! I do exactly the same (& get very excited over the thought i might make 99p!!!!)

    Was all set for a NSD today till i realised i was on a training day tomorrow where i'll have to take my own lunch. As i normally come home for dinner & reheat leftovers or a freezer meal i couldn't find one thing to make a sandwich out of so had to pop to the shops. The good news is i made 2 lunches for next weeks training days with what i bought & popped them in the freezer, so feeling very MSE for doing that :A

    Tomorrow will definitely be one, now i've raised my target i've got to spend less not more!!! :D

    Not a nsd for me, had to post a parcel back to Argos, something i bought from their ebay clearance store stopped working after 9 months. Cost me £7 too:eek:

    Also pretty fed up so treated myself to a baguette for lunch and bought milk also. No end to the decadence huh

    oh well, more days to come

    Had my first proper meal since Sunday evening about 3 hours ago, and about an hour later began to think I was heading back to where I was in the early hours of Monday morning.......

    Still feel like my stomach is complaining about the intake of food, so will have to wait and see how things go tonight I suppose :(


    But if I do get bad again, there's no way I'm going to manage a run out to the storage place tomorrow - so I've risked doing one tonight. Still have a few more boxes packed for going, but my poor little car wasn't going to take to the lot in one trip :o At least I can now move in the kitchen, and just about see my bed for tonight good2.gif
