    Hello NSDErs

    Well done everyone, page one looks impressive.

    I've suffered the curse of the lost fiver since sunday. I did spend some more on Sunday, craved chocolate so i bought meself a g4l4xy, no actually I phoned DH and asked him to bring me one.

    Monday was a spendy thanks to DH, So was Tuesday, and Wednesday (me). It's all been little amounts under a fiver on the juice that's run out before shopping that's due on the first of August, the bread that's run out from the freezer, the fruits.

    There was just no way out to rescue my nsds but next month I have a plan. I will have to set up a fund similar to cw18 whoopsie budget for days like Mon, Tue, and Wed, and stick to whatever amount that's in there, anything else will be spends. I have records of what and how much my spend days were on, so i will have that as guide for the fund - Code named "NSD Reserve Tank Fund":D":cool: - NRTF

    I'm gonna be a dare devil in the August Challenge, and set myself a slightly higher target than the previous 2 months:eek:, but I will need to sit down and do some serious budgeting. :money:

    I have a slight problem at the mo :(, talking DH into agreeing to shop online for the big monthly groceries . I did manage to get away with it till recently. He's all funny about it, infact he does not LIKE to shop online at all, Reason: not given me any valid one except that he does not like having substitutes:(, and he likes to pick his own fruit from the supermarket.

    Any ideas what i can do to make him agree with me on this one - (for me to win basically)? shopping's due on the 1st or 2nd of August

    Reporting NSD 24 :j:jtoday please spoon, JD for me please:)

    I'm glad that I got through this month without spending on non essential impulse temptations. :money::money:

    OK! Today we have done it again - another NSD even though we had to have pasta carbonara rather than spagheti carbonara.
