:D lol Soma I thought I was the only one using that trick sometimes, especially last month, so this month I made sure we got back up uht milk, and powdered milk with the shopping.
I don't mind them "not fresh milks", he does, but he will use them in desperate times.

There's this one time, almost ruined my NSD, so I pretended not to have seen the text he'd sent me.

Love these....... done the same myself, oh.. what email, don't think I got that:p

Have you tried buying milk on offer and freezing it? I do that all the time now and never run out of milk

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Hope those of you on the eastern side of the country managed to get through today, it’s been incredibly hot from what I’ve seen. Bit cooler over here but very humid and overcast.

Lots more NSDs rolling in today, well done everyone.:j We have another new recruit joining the gang today as well.:j

Welcome to:
beanielou: :wave: hi and welcome to the NSD thread, good to have you on board. Signing you up for 10 now. As with everything on MSE, keep posting, that seems to generate the most success.;)
:jWell done for the 5 you’ve had so far this month - great start


Well done to:
:jkatenut: well done for no 5 - you’re doing brilliantly.
Hope you survived your day at work, steel toe caps really are not funny in the temperatures you’ve had today:(:(

:eek: can’t have you missing out on all our outings, we’ll have to organise some more for August then - sorted!

And hello to everyone else:
boultdj: I’m just the same, always forget something even if it’s on my list... the most common ones for me are washing up liquid and loo rolls:o.......
Hope you got the watering done and fingers crossed for tomorrow
purple_angel: hope the spendy day wasn’t too painful and what a lovely OH giving you money for the food shopping. Hope you managed to stick to the list;)
BigMumma: possibly we do spend too much time together..... think you’ve brainwashed us all:rotfl:..
You’re right about the treats, we’ve become accustomed to treating ourselves more and more often - when does a treat become a routine?
Hope you’re on the mend soon, we miss you:A
Soma: fingers crossed for no 3 - love your attitude to OH - should know better trying to sabotage your NSD;)
kathy40uk: hope spendy day today wasn’t too bad, good luck for the next few days - you’re sounding very organised:)
Nargle: hope the spendy day wasn’t too painful and fingers crossed for tomorrow. You want to watch your waterworks, plenty of cranberry juice:rotfl: ....
TMVen: hhhmmm...... expensive cinema that.... Fingers crossed for tomorrow:)
Hope you enjoyed the ice cream
ifwishes: lovely lunch though, so worth losing an NSD for that... arrgghhh.... chocolate on top though, naughty:eek:....
You were doing so well, but you’ll get back on track again, don’t worry:)

Another one for me today as well, taking me up to no 7:j, been catching up on paperwork today so no reason to go near those evil shops;)

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

Hiya :hello:

Today is NSD No. 7/20. Yippee.

chris81418

Good morning everyone!

I'm back on course to winning ways with another NSD yesterday, taking my running total up to 6 NSD!

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone!

boultdj

OK I'll try again!!! Keep losing my post. Morrning All. Decided I'm going to the pub after the race so spend day for me. Hope everyone has a nice day.

#4 For me yesterday, and hopefully will report #5 when I get home from work in the morning YAY.

Morning all

I've got a bit behind recently but I'm pleased to say that Thursday and Friday were no spend days taking me up to 3.

Friday was touch and go as the kids are starting to turn their noses up at my homemade cake (I think it's turning up a bit too often).
But I'm not going to lose an NSD for a packet of biscuits! Need to look at the recipe pages and widen my repertoire (had to look this word up in the dictionary as red squiggle would not go away !). I love flapjack and the millionaires shortbread looks nice - but that's the problem...I eat it .

Anyway, today will not be an NSD - have to see about tomorrow.

Will go and catch up with the thread now - hope everybody's having a good weekend

Soma

I'm not that mean, I'm lactose intolerant so I don't buy milk. Normally I would be nice and get it for OH while he's at work but was determined not to spend. Anyway I now have 3 NSD

Morning all, and welcome Beanie, nice to see you here.

well STOP PRESS the rain has stopped!!!! but looks as if its not far away, poor souls at TinthePark are having a bit of time of it, lot of mud and nothing is much fin in torrential rain.

I am fully expecting to have a NSD to-day, nothing to buy and no where to go as will be selecting wardrobe for upcoming camping holiday, might possibly have difficulty there as I think I'll have to pack everything I own! from dufflecoat down...........to skimpy teeshirts.

oh spoke to soon, its raining again.........ah Scotland in July...what do we expect?

Moneypenny if I can chip in, my IT guys at work wouldn't touch Ipad with a very long bargepole, too new and interestingly too inconvieient, quite difficult to use to with regards to position, you either have to hold it like a book to read or have it flat which is not an ideal working position. and can I just say these guys are IT gadget junkies and I tend to listen to them cos they are pretty good.

Today is another no spend day for me. Not planning on leaving the house so it should be easy. That makes 3 NSDs so far.
