Grrrrrrrrrrr I am really peeved (O and Good Morning all!!)
On Friday up to 7pm I had a NSD... even though I went to the clothes party and ordered a dress - I don't have to pay for it until I get it. Then I get a phone call from Mr Looloo. He had just left work and guess what......... ran out of petrol. So I had to drive to petrol station purchase can (5.99) fill it up (6.90) so NOT impressed!
Saturday was a spend day as I knew it would be school fete and lunch out.
Today at work and going to make it a NSD if it kills me - got my own lunch with me and got stuff out for supper later from the freezer...... so all good

Not been on here for a while - Thursday was a NSD - by accident really as my friend cancelled meeting for drinks.
Fri I spent money on a birthday present and food shopping.
Sat was my hardest day so far as I worked all day at a charity music event. I took 2 meals worth of packed lunches and managed to stay away from the tombola - another NSD!Finally, debt free for the first time since I was 18!:DFirst baby born: 21/05/2014Second baby born: 04/03/20170 -
Looloo have fun at the clothes party, that sounds like my sort of party. :j
Thanks Hun I ordered one maxi dress - was quite flattering - made my boobs acutally look small (have a real horrible time with weight at the moment feel very down and depressed about it but I know all I need to do is get the motivation and do something so it's my own fault! Next week I am cutting down on alcohol and and no sweets or crisps and lots of fish/chicken and salads and try to cut out bread..... :eek: and start to do at least 30 mins wii fit or take the dog for along walk.......
I've put it in writing now so it has to be followed through!

It finally happened! My first July NSD yesterday! :j
I've probably set my challenge a bit too difficult for my first month, but I'll continue like this and see how well I can do. Can I change my target to 5 instead? Any more than that will be a bonus
I have more of an idea of what I'm letting myself in for for next month now though::: Total Paid Since LBM (27/05/10): £4639.85 Official Debt Gone!! :T ::::AThat money talks, I don't deny, I heard it once, it said "Goodbye"~ VSP2011: #104 ~

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;)
Spending on petrol is always painful because I use so much, got a full tank which should last until Tuesday, bought some flowers for a friend who is feeling a bit down, they made her. OH is very lovely and I stuck to the list.:j
Today will be NSD number 6.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Yesterday was another NSD - built another flat pack bit during the day then went to the globe with tickets we had bought months ago. Only £5 each, what a deal as its a fantastic night out.

Have I missed where you're going? Eiyther way, have a lovely time!....anyone fancy looking after Chompy the dragon for me whilst I'm away?....
We had a bit of the wet stuff over night so the weeds are well away :mad: but it is much more comfortable for us mere mortals & doggits! Last night, No2 talked of going to the market but thankfully changed tack this morning, so this could be another nsd. I'll confirm tomorrow tho, as I don't want to tempt fate. Yesterday was another which I believe brings me to no 8 & just five away from my next big total. I'm getting excited now--how silly is that

Hello all, pleased to report that yesterday was NSD number 6 (though a bit of a dubious one at that!)
Didn't spend anything all day then had a rather random evening, I was on call and at a wedding party, so spent the evening driving to and from work and chauffering my rather tipsy friends about. At 1am this morning I had to buy my own drink whilst waiting for the revellers (after a few not very subtle hints of 'oh i'm so tired, I could do with a red bull') - I never ask anyone for petrol money but a drink would have been nice!
Stretching the rules a bit but its the only thing that spoilt my NSD, but as it was after midnight I'm gonna count it as today as today is food shopping day anyway.
Back at work again today, middle of a 10 day run, feeling weary. First time I've sat down today - will anyone notice if I have a little nap?! Give me a nudge in ten minutes please chaps!Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:0 -
Afternoon all NSD'ers:hello:
Hoping for one today and locking myself in!!:eek: No spending for me today!!! (Hopefully and fingers crossed......x)solventsoon wrote: »target met = revised target met = 2nd revised target met =
