    Well, as promised here's sweets for everyone who managed an NSD this weekend! Tesco had an appalling selection of pick'n'mix when I went in there so some of you have the same as others. No complaining now! :D But I tried to accommodate people's particular requests! :)

    SO SORRY if I missed anyone, there's a lot to read through and I've got a severe case of Monday-itis! If you got an NSD this weekend and I forgot to reward you with a sweetie, please let me know !!!!

    Unfortunately, I've fallen off the bandwagon a bit with my own NSDs, I was so happy on Friday to have finished work that I bought sweets and so didn't get another NSD that day as planned, and in the weekend I spent lots, and today I've already bought myself lunch! And next weekend's the bank holiday, so I've got no chance of making 6 more! :eek: Oh well :o

    Still only on 5 I'm afraid, and will have visitors at the end of the week for a few days so am frantically planning meals and organising shopping as well as kitting out DS with school uniform. Anyway, enough of my pathetic excuses, I will definitely squeeze out a couple or so more NSDs this week!

    Thanks for my candy stick Wintergreen_Candy_Cane.pngNZ - I lurve sweeties :D

    Well after my embarassment at Mr T's yesterday, we had to go in today and buy what we meant to get on Sunday which means, of course, and I only realised this on the way to Mr T's, that I have spoilt an NSD which would have got me to my target :mad: :mad:

    So I now have to wait until tomorrow for my 15th NSD and that tumbling panda :o

    Declaring today as NSD #14 for August

    It's also my 118th of the year including D/Debits and such as spends, or #136 if I exclude them as I did for the first 6 months....... and as my target for the year (as set on 1st Jan) was 132 excluding the bill type payments that means I'm over 4 months ahead of the game :)

    But my biggest NSD news for today is that it's my 100th day in a row without spending anything from my Toiletries & Cleaning budget :T
    Within those 100 days I've opened 2 bags of 'green' washing powder (bought last year at half price or less due to stores closing), 1 tube of toothpaste (I have one by each of 3 basins, plus one in my washbag - and some of the others are now running low, but can also be replaced from my stockpile), 2 toilet 'duck' type cleaners and 1 deodorant stick..... but as they were in stock (even before 1st Jan) I've not parted with a single penny :D


    Tomorrow will be a milk (and Whoopsies) spend day :( Debated doing this today, but went for run this evening instead. Should have been just over 5 miles, but the mutt was desperate to be taken out (DS clearly hasn't taken him for a couple of days :mad: ) and he started to flag around the 3 mile mark again. By 4.88 miles there was no point me making any pretence of 'running' so I stopped my timer (HRM) and walked the rest of the way home.


    NZ - many thanks for my sweeties :) They look delicious, and best of all (as I'm counting them at the moment) they're calorie free :T

    :T:T Oh yeah :T:T Many thanks. These are my favourite!
    Scoffed most of them already but I'm now getting on the treadmill so it doesn't count :o.

    "Have you got one? Have you got one?
    NSD? NSD?
    I've just got fourteen, I've just got fourteen,
    Bully for me, bully for me"

    Did have to take a trip to MrMs today but will be reimbursed tomorrow so doesn't count.

    One more for the panda.................come here little Chi-Chi......
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    LfV, I guess the best time to jump on the treadmill is just after you've had your fill of e numbers ;) I hope that sugar crash doesn't hurt too much :p

    I've got 2 NSDs for yesterday and today to declare. She writed in her very bested English! WHich takes me to 7.

    But I've been very bad at keeping on top of them this month. And while I'm holding onto my receipts, I'm not putting them into my spending diary as I should be. Bad Nicca!

    I'm doggy-sitting this week and hoping it means I'll send very little money! Time will tell! :D
