Another new day to add to July: The No Spend Day

LuckyBiscuit

Sorry didn't post yesterday DH got cabin fever so, went for a walk along the coast and on the beach, had fish and chips (from Devon's award winning chippy) and italian coffee, we then cheated and got the cliff railway back up, Oh well it was a nice treat.

Was a NSD today though and will be tomorrow as staying home..........
Love to all....................XXX

No NSD today as the money for DS1/2s school class photos came out of the bank today . Looking good for tomorrow though.:)

i think it is Good to Know, not 100% no details with cheques!

Well done :T hair is something I never get done until it's too long which is silly as it's meant to be short :rotfl:Will try this trick one day

What brilliant news :T Well done


Well another one for me today bringing me up to number 4

Have had a very lazy day today as back at work tomorrow , not felt for a long time that I don't want to go back in but this break has really made me see I don't like what I'm doing since the restructure and the amount of overtime I'm having to do is silly but at least I am still working . Guess if I keep doing 'the next right thing' I will be okay, just keep looking and make the most of it while I can

On the bright side though I'm on lates which means a free meal

Consequence of course of the lazy day is that the bindweed has won for now :mad: I bet that next time I get in there it will have all grown back LOL, Why is it that whenever I get a break I don't get what I plan to get done, need some of your energy CW


Hoping to check in tomorrow with another one, will be leaving cards and purse at home

See you all tomorrow :hello:

Hi, I'm new to this NSD - or so I thought. I keep a online spending diary and have noticed that I am fully capable of having at least one NSD a week (Usually at the weekend), so I shall start at 8 NSD a month!

Welcome to the [STRIKE]madhouse[/STRIKE] NSD thread and good luck with reaching your target - please keep checking in and joining in with the general chat

Very pleased to say is NSD 2 for me today, am shattered after having a few very busy days DIYing, & my house looks totally like a building site mid boiler install :eek: so think i am going to hide in bed now & rest all my aching muscles... didn't even know some of them existed until now!!!!
*scratches head & thinks about the need to find a smilie brandishing a sledgehammer to depict recent activity*

Will this do BDINI? it's the builders fighting over which part to knock down next

Silly me, I forgot why I was here!!!! NSD NUMBER 2 for me Spoon -did go to new car boot this morning but a friend paid for teas so I was OK

CraigLoans

After a few days of spending I have now got my second NSD.

Am aiming to get at least another 2 no spends before the weekend.

:doh:that makes more sense! Couldn't quite hear what you lot were saying, what with the cheering & tripping over empty poo bottles..I've spent the last two days wondering why we would be trying to THROW stones up BDINI's back passage

N'look what I've found! This any good?

....Could we have a virtual holiday to somewhere warm, maybe the Maldives in one of those nice huts on stilts? Thrifty is currently a size 10 (my imagination can stretch pretty far) , laying on the beach, with the waves lapping the shore, sipping on a non alchomoholic cocktail. Ah, bliss.

I knew there was a good reason for liking you I'll be the 5'7" blonde-highlighted kozmo model in the next hammock, exhibiting my entirely nateurell assets to my hubbie Rob. Don't worry tho, I won't expect you to call me Mrs Williams all the time....

Can you add me on another for yesterday please Spoonster? Been out wiv muvva today & needed fresh supplies to stop the manky krew developing scurvey..honestly..I ask you! You'd think your own kith would be a little more supportive when you take on these challenges but will they stop eating? No! Damned inconsiderate is what I call it :angry:

That's brilliant news, Karen, well done. Are you going to want to speak to us commoners when you're a published author??

Spoon, i've checked out the chav's in the alley & i reckon they can take a bit of our MSE madness!!!

Probably just as well, BDINI, if you see what BigMumma is thinking we're doing!!!!

Chav outfits (and stones;)) at the ready, Tardis primed for more action, a few virtual hangovers persisting but nothing that a few LongIsland tea thingys wouldn't cure, you tell us when and we'll be there;););)

Woohoo to no 1 already, that’s brilliant!:j
Oooh a virtual holiday to somewhere warm sounds ideal... lovely tropical beach, cocktails, beautiful blue sea.....
Butti: :wave:hi and welcome back, good to have you on board again. Signing you up for 5 now and well done for no 1, brilliant start:j

Well done to:
:jkatenut: well done for no 2 - that’s brilliant. Glad you had a good weekend away, it’s probably done you the world of good.
Hmmm... disgrace ourselves, would we???:rotfl:

Blood fish and bone is really good for your garden, everything will start shooting up;)
:jelfen: well done for no 3 - you’re having a great month. Hoping you resisted the apricots and bananas today;)
:jmoneypenny2k: my goodness, did some of Cheryl’s adrenaline rub off on you this morning, not surprised you needed a lie down after that lot. Fingers crossed for an NSD today

Like the being organised and thinking ahead re the milk (you sound like Cheryl there), that’s definitely the way to bag those NSDs:)

Well done for no 5 today, that’s brilliant, great start to the month for you.

I know, damned inconsiderate families we all have, expecting us to buy food when we’re trying to get lots of NSDs, not on really:rotfl:....

And hello to everyone else:
jintyb: fingers crossed for no 3 today:)
d3mon4ngel: don’t despair, you’ll get there. The main thing you need to do is to start thinking ahead about possible spends and trying to consolidate them. That and keep posting here, strange but that really seems to work with lots of us. Keep going, no 1 is just around the corner and once the first one’s done that really does seem to give you some encouragement:T
Soma: fingers crossed for tomorrow for you:)
Looloo: glad you enjoyed the night out, but shame about the spends.
Like the being organised bit, hope it works, fingers crossed for the next couple of days for you:)
katholicos: you’re right, when bargains call we have to get them. You’ve done brilliantly so far, you’ll be up and running again soon, no doubt:)
rachelmk: not a bad spend day and like the bargain sandals, they sound good:T
Nargle: NSD no 1 not far away for you now, I can feel it in my bones....
Good bargain with the bacon and eggs and probably much fresher than a supermarket:T
ifwishes..: oh dear to food shopping.... but well done for lots of bargains. :T I hate food shopping as well, always in a bad mood when I get out of the supermarket
LadyfromVenice: oh dear to no NSD today, but hope you’re pleased with the photos when you get them. Fingers crossed for tomorrow:)
mrsinvisible: oh no to the fire, that’s awful,:eek: hope there wasn’t too much damage. I bet you did get a lecture too...
TMVen: glad you had a good day out yesterday, it sounds lovely. Fingers crossed for today:)

No NSD for me today unfortunately. Needed a few bits so went to the supermarket and decided to get petrol for my car which was nearly empty - :eek:£50 later I was in a state of shock (I drive a Clio, nothing big:(:(:(......)

Off to do the usual update now, see you all tomorrow.
