    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Well that’s Monday done with for another week, thank goodness. Lots of NSDs rolling in today and loads of you within sight of your targets:j - that’s brilliant considering we’re only in the second full week of June. Hoping for some celebrations at our outing this weekend!;)

    Well done to:
    :jpositivelypurple: well done for no 6, yep, halfway there now, brilliant!
    Lovely DH treating you to a meal out last night. Hope you had a good day today:)
    :jjintyb: well done for no 7 - that’s brilliant.
    Oh no, so sorry to hear about your knackered laptop,:( what a pain, but more of a pain to lose everything on it. A hard drive backup is a real essential nowadays, we keep so much on computers. Nothing at all wrong with BNPL as long as you make sure you pay it off before the interest kicks in, cheaper than putting it on a cc and paying their interest.
    Glad you had a knitting world cup day - the baby cardigan must be nearly finished now?;)
    :janonymoose: well done for no 4 on Friday - you’re doing great, keep going!:)
    :jpure dead dopey: well done for no 7 - nearly halfway now, that’s brilliant!
    Hope the aliens, Hubert and you have a good business trip over the next few days, you must be getting them used to travelling again before our trip to Stonehenge at the weekend!:rotfl:
    :jmz_grim: well done for no 8 - only 2 more to get now, that’s brilliant!!
    Well done for doing all that housework and cooking:T
    :jCraigLoans: well done for no 4 - that’s brilliant.
    And yay to your first no spend weekend - fantastic!!:T
    :jelfen: well done for no 7. Nearly halfway there now, and you sound as though you’re on a roll - keep going!:)
    :jLadyfromVenice: yay.. well done for no 10, halfway there now, that’s brilliant!:)
    Hmmm.. a dobey... not surprised you don’t have many burglaries... I don’t mind dogs that bark at something.... We have an idiot collie across the road though, she has never been trained, walked or anything, consequently she is totally out of control and hyper in the way that only collies can be hyper... she can bark continually for hours (and frequently does unfortunately:(......).
    :jslowlyfading: well done for no 10 - well over halfway now, keep going!:)
    :jkarmachilovething: well done for no 4 - you’re doing great. Fingers crossed for no 5 today (you’ll nearly be halfway then!):)
    :jboultdj: well done for no 7 today (good job one of us knows how many NSDs you’ve had:rotfl:....). One more and you’ll be halfway there - keep going!:)
    :jTMVen: well done for no 11 - you’re having a brilliant month, only 4 more to get now!
    Wow, you were very organised today... definitely the way to get lots of NSDs - well done!:T
    :jmoneypenny2k: well done for no 6 - halfway there now, that’s brilliant!
    Great news on the cc... yay to no interest!:T
    :jcw18: hi - welcome back, we missed you. Well done for no 8 - only 4 more to get now!
    Sounds as though you had a busy weekend and OH seems to be approved of all round, that’s a bonus! He does sound lovely though, think you’ve got a good’un there:T
    Ah.. more milk required today:(, well I guess that’s to be expected.
    Plans for the nights out are going well - we seem to be fairly organised...
    :jdmb: well done for no 3 - you’re doing great, keep going!:)
    :jkatenut: well done for no 6 - you’re doing brilliantly this month, keep going!:)
    :jJo_Rourke: kept my fingers crossed all day for you... good luck!!
    And thanks, that’s lovely of you:o
    Did the sun dance for you, hope it worked!:rotfl:
    And it did - well done for no 4 - that’s brilliant.:T
    Re ebay posting - most peeps on here don’t count that as you’re getting the money back....
    :jkatholicos: well done for no 9 - that’s brilliant. Only 3 more to get now - keep going!:)
    :jHerby: and thanks to you too - loving the encouragement from everyone
    You will get your little pony... and no you don’t sound like a petulant 3 year old... you should have heard LfV when she set her sights on the dancing banana last month!;)
    Fingers crossed you managed no 10 today - hopefully all the last-minute preparations kept you busy and away from those nasty shops
    And you did - well done for no 10 - that’s brilliant! :T The pony is definitely within your sights now

    And hello to everyone else:
    Geebee: yay..:j well done to you for increasing your target to 10 - the dancing banana will be yours! This NSD lark does become addictive you know, so you will get addicted to not spending - give it time! Good luck!;)
    Looloo: oh dear to having to drive to work,:( that’s not good, spoiling your planned NSD. Hope you managed to get all the shopping done today and gets lots of NSDs this week instead... and you did... yay 2 more NSDs will be yours now - well done for getting organised, that’s the way to get NSDs - think ahead!:T
    Keiss 21: :mad:grrrr to car today, cars are such a pain (bit like men really ...). Hope it starts OK tomorrow. Well done for being organised on the shopping front as well, hopefully more NSDs to follow, fingers crossed;)
    Natty68: Glad Jet is on the mend now, skin problems are awful for them.:(...
    Wise decision to get biscuits for the moggies, cats don’t understand “I don’t have your favourite biscuits tonight, sorry, can you eat this instead?” - tried it many times and all I got in return was the look of disdain only a cat can manage:rotfl:.... Your two are real homebodies - that’s great!:)
    jwil: ooops to forgetting BILs birthday:o.... Fingers crossed for a couple of NSDs this week.;)
    Ahh. Thanks
    BDINI: oh no to a busy day today:(, that’s not good - hope the training isn’t too boring though!
    Small spend is OK and well done for being organised. :T Fingers crossed for lots more NSDs for you this week!:)

    No NSD for me today, so I'm still on no 11, but happy with that.

    Off to do the usual update now, and give Geebee her new target. See you all tomorrow.

    NSD No. 11 for me today or should I say yesterday? I haven't been able to post all week (again!) and there have been so many posts that I have no chance of catching up. I am not even going to kid myself by saying I will. It's great to see everybody getting so many NSDs. Work is still really busy but I am going to make a massive effort to log on daily to keep my motivation up. When it comes to spending, this thread sure does keep me on the straight and narrow as I know I will have to justify myself if I spend unnecessarily. Money is actually staying in my purse now and I am excited about not spending it …..yippee… what a transformation.
    Geebee you hit target… well done that's fantastic :j. Knew you could do it. Well done to everyone on their NSDs. Spoon, I am still in awe of you being so organised in keeping this thread updated daily … it's getting longer and longer and still you manage to keep on top of it. Thank you.:A

  • NSD No.11/20 yesterday :)

    Had a spend day today, trying to get all the things needed...hair do, fuel, bit of food shopping, specs repaired so I can not spend for the rest of the week ;)

    Brilliant to hear everyone so positive on here and getting more & more NSDs :T

    I've only had 2 out of the 10 NSDs this month so far, so a bit dissapointing really. This needs to be a spend day, so will try and be extra organised so that tomorrow I can get a NSD.

    Good luck to everyone else, I don't post a lot but do read all your posts, so thanks for the hints and tips xx
