    Quick stop by to say I made no 7 yesterday.

    I have lunch with me today so should be able to make a NSD today but the day is really dragging and I might need to go to the shops at lunchtime.....

    Yesterday turned out to be a LSD instead - just £4 (apart from the essential food shopping).
    I haven't spent anything today yet so fingers crossed!

    Jinty, not sure if Ringtons deliver in Jockineseland but try visiting www.Ringtons.co.uk and see.

    Thanks for the link Narglebalst, I had a look and they deliver in my area. What type of tea do you get/ recommend? I like a good builder's tea!
    I reckon I could justify getting deliveries as I dont drink but I DO love my tea and I hate if I get a rubbish cuppa!

    Hi Spoony, Sunnylooloo has asked me to say she has had two more NSD's Saturday and Monday. Taking her to her target of 10 NSD's.

    Please could she revise her target to 13, thank you.:D

    She sends her love to all and is sooooo busy at the moment x

    Today was supposed to be NSD but ended up having an emergency appointment with the nurse and came away with 3 items on prescription £21......:mad: Fingers crossed I will have a couple of NSD this week, feel too till go out!:(
    If you are likely to need a few prescriptions through the year, it may be worth investing in a PrePaid Presciption--a bit of a :eek: but can save a fair bit, depending on how often you use it of course; more info HERE. And if the medicines were all you paid out for, I would class it as an nsd because no-one can plan for illness :o Your choice of course & hope you feel much better very soon hb.gif

    With a LOT of patience & a goodly dose of forward thinking! Like me on Saturday--I could have had another nsd if I'd only taken a few [STRIKE]hours[/STRIKE] minutes to wait for a petrol pump earlier in the week when I'd been shopping anyway :wall: But take heart Trinny, as all of us feel like you do when we first start this Challenge. I've found keeping a spending diary really helps me to identify where, when & why I was so easily parted from my moola but more so, showed how that extra tenner+ was mysteriously disappearing from my purse. Have to tell you maties--it ain't costumed-smiley-043.gifeither :(

    I gotten nuffa wun yessdee so think I'm on 12 & have also reached 300 since I began counting last year. Unfortunately I didn't record my start date but even so, I'm rather chuffed at my little sub-total :) I'm going to celebrate with garlic covered snails in a smellie brie cheese sauce washed down with a vinegary red, while lounging beside the
    tent [nicked from PDD :shhh:] on the NuSDers holiday over the way. *anyone seen any news reports of a fire-breathing female garotting her poor hubs with a guy rope? Nope? Good! They must be doing OK then :D*
