    Butdoineedit.... Thanks, i'm hoping i can get addicted to NOT spending!. :j
    3Dogs.... Yep, i think i will up my target to 10, as i'm an "old hat" at it now!. :rotfl:
    Spoon.... Please increase my target to 10, "in for a penny, in for a pound" and all that!! Not sure how well i'll do, this was maybe a novelty thing and i'll get really fed up with not spending. I get really depressed when i dont spend anything!. :(

    Hope everyone has a great day and well done for any NSD's over the weekend and good luck for the week ahead!. :A

    Morning All

    me and aliens are working from home to-day so am declaring early. No intentions of going out as have loads to do and will be away tomorrow on business until Thursday, bad to be away from home, but good cos they will be NSDs!

    Neighbours have subsided, must be knackered after all the noise and grass cutting, am about to vent to council, if you listen carefully, I 'm sure you'll hear me!!!!

    Happy no spending to-day

    Grrrrrrr getting annoyed at myself today... Today I have to drive to work and it should have been my friends turn to drive for the next two weeks, so now I have to put some diesel in the car today.......... so I have decided to make today a spend day and do my shopping for most of the week and then try and get a few NSD's under my belt.

    Well done to everyone else for doing so well!!

    4th NSD achieved yesterday.

    Think it is the first time in a long time that I went through a whole weekend without spending any money!

    I thought that to GB but it's surprising how soon the "I have to spend" turns into "I'm not spending because I want my little pony" (Gawd Spoon you've made me sound like a petulant 3 year old lol!) I now get annoyed with myself when I spend when I didn't have to/want to and I ruin a perfectly good NSD and I've only been doing this for two months now. It is very addictive!

    I sold a book via Amazon this weekend, first in ages
    so have to go and post that (but it's already paid for from another budget so won't cost me anything) other than that, today looks set to be an NSD, will be annoyed if it isn't as I did all the spending that needed to be done for the next few days yesterday. Shall report in later one way or another, got loads to do this am and afternoon, have a good day everyone :)

  • :jLadyfromVenice: well done for no 9 - that’s brilliant!
    Oh dear, now I’m feeling bad about moaning about barking dogs - sorry:o:o...

    x

    Don't feel bad Spoon, our Dobey barks at cats, postmen, visitors to the door, family members, people walking down the road, bees, seagulls, motorcycles (not funny when out walking!).......in fact just about anything.

    We have two bull mastiffs opposite us who bark at anything as well and we often get other dogs joining in :mad:. It winds us up so I can totally understand where you are coming from. (It is funny though when you see people walk down the road and they don't know the dogs are there......they jump a mile :p:D......ohhh I am wicked:rotfl:)

    Just had a thought..........haven't heard of any burglary's in our area :)

    .........and well done to you too:T. You have totally embraced the NSD way by trying to get all your spends done in one day.

    Not sure yet if today will be an NSD for me as we need some milk. Just realised though that the milk was used for my mother & toddler group. Any milk I buy will therefore be to replace that milk and should be paid for out of mother & toddler money. Result :T:T:T

    NSD 10 today :T:T:T:T
