    Reporting in Mistress Spoon, with NSD NUMBER 4 - we did have to go out and buy some packaging materials first thing but that is for eBay so will be covered by sales. Then we had to go into town to pick up prescription and get a form authorised and we called into your favourite store Mr T*sco and got strawberries, celery and bread but had £2.50 clubcard voucher in purse so I used that = not spending any of my money

    Spend Day Friday tomorrow with car boot & shopping but Saturday will be NSD as hubbie is doing a car boot again with mate so I will be in all day with no transport - there are no shops within walking distance for me - thank goodness!!

    Hi lovely NSD gang :A
    Wow, loads more NSDs rolling in today, you lovely people are going for the record this month, definitely.:j
    Friday again tomorrow, where is the time going, it’s frightening:eek:....

    We have two new recruits joining the gang today as well:)


    Welcome to:
    shoe_gal_84: :wave:hi and welcome, it’s good to have you on board. Signing you up for 15 now, good luck. Keep posting on here, it really does seem to help everyone and you’ll get loads of support from us all.
    :jWell done for the 4 you’ve got so far, I’ll add them to your total on the front page.
    honeybun16: :wave:hi and welcome, good to have you on board as well. Signing you up for 15 now (I can see 15 on your signature, hope that’s right?) - best of luck. As above, keep posting, it really does help and feel free to join in with the chat and general nonsense on here, everyone is very friendly.
    :jWell done for the 5 you’ve got so far - great start

    Well done to:
    :jboultdj: well done for no 4, you’re doing brilliantly:)
    :jLooloo: well done for no 3, and fingers crossed for no 4 today. Lovely friend letting you share her beans for lunch:)
    :jkarenccs67: well done for no 3 - that’s brilliant.

    Thanks for waiting:A
    :jJo_Rourke: all updates welcome here, you carry on, like to hear about everyone’s progress.
    Glad you had a good time last night and at least you have some money left;)..
    Ahh... re the pony, I was going to change the “prize” this month, but will happily award you the pony also as you were so nearly there in June - how about that?:)

    And hello to everyone else:
    jintyb: hope the food shopping went OK. Like the sound of your chropodist, I could do with him at the moment:(
    Great ideat about helping BDINI, I’m sure some of us could knock down a few walls, not sure about building them up again though... and Hubert and Polly could produce lots of lovely fresh manure for the garden as well:rotfl:
    cw18: I keep telling you that you’re mega-organised and you don’t believe me.... who else would pay their window cleaner in advance to avoid ruining an NSD later in the month - well done you!!:T
    And well done for sticking to your shopping list - I failed dismally at that today (I know, I’m not supposed to use the “f” word, sorry:o...)
    Soma: enjoy your 2 nights out - hope you have a great time. Fingers crossed for Saturday:)
    thrifty fifty: hope you enjoy your friends gathering tomorrow, sounds like fun. Definitely worth a small spend for that:)
    rachelmk: that was definitely a bargainlicious day - well done! Why not change the bottle if you can’t drink it - criminal to waste it! ;) Great shopping bargains as well. Hope you’re pleased with your haircut?
    pure dead dopey: that’s a low spend day, well done for that. Your DS and GF are nearly as bad with bread as Cheryl’s DS is with milk.:eek: Fingers crossed for tomorrow
    Smilerwoman: fingers crossed then, hoping you made it:)
    LadyfromVenice: hope you enjoyed the pizza - and that DH enjoyed his birthday. Fingers crossed for tomorrow:)
    moneypenny2k: glad you had a lovely day in Canterbury, sounds good, and hope you managed to get your flights booked - loving the MSE days away:)

    Spendy day today for me unfortunately, grocery shop, birthday pressie and bird food - all in one day though, so mrs organised here as well:)...

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

    Morning everyone!
    As you know, I cant report an NSD for yesterday, but after my visit to the chiropodist, I can report that Im walking on air! Feet feel fantastic!:j
    Today I'm meeting my friend for lunch and my OH very kindly gave me the money to pay for it, so providing I dont succumb to any temptation whilst I'm in town, today has the potential to be another NSD! Unlikely though!;)
    Noticed a few newbies as I was reading through the posts - welcome aboard, its always nice to have new folks joining the madhouse!:T
    BDINI - well done on the interview, that sounds terrific and you sound so thrilled - I think you were needing a wee boost!:)

    Thanks as usual to Spoon for keeping us all motivated - youre a star!:A

    Have a lovely day everyone!:D


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Yes!!!! NSD number 2 in the bag! The Nargle is on a roll.......


    Well done the Narglemeister :D


    Interview went really well & i can't wait to start!! Even better they liked my ideas for group material so much they want me to deliver a one off session to a day group & will pay me to do it if i don't mind taking a day off work.... so naturally i don't mind at all!!!! (not sure how much yet, but i have paid leave so any amount is a bonus!!)
    The people all seem so lovely, even as shattered as i am i know i won't mind giving up an evening & i'll soon have lots of lovely new friends :T

    Great news, here's hoping your interview luck rubs off on me...

    Seriously, well done.

    Hi all - just posing and running - will try and catch up later on the posts. Yesterday was NSD # 4 - so I am really pleased - must be all the good work rubbing off on me.

    I have my lunch and breakfast here at work - so it would be a NSD but I am going to a friends Clothes Party after work - I have £30 to spend - BUT i may not see anything I like in which case it will be another NSD.

    Saturday will be spend day as going to my friends little girls school fete then lunch (might get my diesel too and some shopping) Sunday I am working so will hopefully not spend (esp if I get shopping etc on Saturday... we'll see!!)

    I've still not managed a NSD just yet this month, though I've been looking at when my DD's went out of my bank last month, and it looks like I shouldn't have anything else going out of it now until the 16th. It's taken 9 days, but I am getting organised :p

    I know I have to buy electric today, so I will get one or two extra bits and pieces for HM lunches next week too. So, if I can keep some self control and keep my fingers crossed, I should be able to manage at least 5 NSD's between now and then (will need one day for petrol at least). That will take me half way to my target and give me 15 days to get the other half :)

    I looked in my diary, and last month when I wasn't counting it, I had 12 NSD's, so how come it seems harder to do now I'm paying attention to it? lol

    Can't guarantee one today, but I'll see what happens
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
