    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Last day of July, lots of targets have been met and smashed - well done everyone I think this must be a record month. :j:j

    Had another of our riotous days out today, feeling somewhat the worse for wear now:rotfl::rotfl:...

    Targets met today:
    teenyweenyspender: :j yay, well done, 20 NSDs done and dusted, that’s fantastic. :j Little kitty is dancing your way now, though she might be a bit tired as she’s been all over the country today enjoying herself and might have had a bit too much champagne;)
    Broken hearted: :jyay, well done, 10 NSDs done and dusted for you, that’s brilliant. :j Kitty’s on the way but, as above, she might be a bit fragile tonight;)
    Good bargain with the light bulbs:T
    littlekel: :j yay, well done, 12 NSDs in the bag, that’s brilliant. :jKitty on her way now:)..
    Will sign you up for August
    Trinny: :jyay, well done, 9 NSDs reached now and, yes, you do get Johnny D now:j
    kathy40uk: fingers crossed for target no 2 today
    Update::j and you made it, fantastic. Johnny is all yours now:j
    karenccs67: :jyay, well done, 15 NSDs done and dusted, little kitty is all yours now, look after her:j
    Hope MIL copes with the op OK, thinking about you, ((((hugs))))

    Well done to:

    And hello to everyone else:

    No dancing chicken for me this month I'm afraid.... Motorway... Very boring... Losts of Vauxhall Astras... Ooh a tree... Big blue signs.... McDonalds... Costa... Buger King... Kentucky Fried... Ermmm.... Yes I did take a packed lunch... No, er, I didn't chuck it... Oh dear... Thank God for stretchy waistbands... I am going to the naughty corner now. *Hangs head*.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(

    Well I ended on 7/10 as both Friday and Saturday were NSDs for me. Not too bad considering the mad past few weeks we've had.

    I REALLY must try very hard for next month though, it all feels a bit out of control with money at the moment.

    I'll have a think for my target and then see you all over in the August thread.

    Big thank you spoon for running these challanges.

  • Hi I'm useful at this challenge! But I'm going to try again. Pls put me down for 10 :) (edit it should have said useless - freudian slip or wishful thinking? the latter I'm afraid...)

    What did I predict? How accurate I was only managed 9/10, and for a couple of weeks I was on fire! 9/10 is the closest I've got to my target, so happy with that :money:
