    Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday was NSD 16 for me - yip pee! Any chance I can grab a florentine jintyb, as lil' reward? And well done Spoon on reducing your overdraft by £300; unfortunately, that will be my last debt that I get rid of - but I'm getting there!

    Have a good weekend everyone - I'm off to a wedding, so fingers crossed that there'll be loads of freebies and it'll be a NSD weekend for me!

    Am doing an early declaration for today, NSD no. 14! Early because I'm meant to be going out for lunch, so have made lunch up, and the place we go to can't complain very much as im GF and LF and nowhere can guarantee that they don't have either and/or both in their food, but I can!

    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Declaring early - today is NSD 19

    Have been and done my extra shift at work, and bought nothing.
    Anything that I end up paying for later today (may well be nothing anyway) will be from my social life budget which is excluded

    So I believe that's Johnny Depp for me please Spoon :)


    Second revised target - 7 days left in the month, and I know I have D/Debits coming out on at least 2 of them (Mon & Wed) with my car booked in for service and MOT on Wed. So that gives a potential for another 5. But if my car ends up needing any work that means it has to 'stay in' overnight, then that bill won't be payable until Thursday - so risky to commit to that being an NSD.

    So please sign me up for another 4 - taking my second revised total to 23




    Will catch up with you all tomorrow night (probably) or Monday evening :)

    Good afternoon everyone, might have another NSD today as DS is not going to martial arts class today (also saves petrol for me) - watch this space!

    Thanks so much Spoon and Mainyasha!

    I've printed your advice out and stuck it on my fridge. For me, it's about preparation.

    Like if I work late, get home late, don't have time to make lunch for the next day, sleep late, don't have time to make breakfast and buy a coffee and a croissant in Nero instead. :o

    Or if I'm out somewhere, and forget to fill up a bottle with tap water before I go, then I'm dying of thirst and give in to a 50p bottle.

    Just really want to stay focused this week and hit my target. Only 3 more to go. Unlikely to get them next weekend as I'm at a conference for work and I'll have to spend, on coffee, drinks etc, though I can claim it back. So I HAVE to do it this week. I must. And I WILL! :rotfl:
