P.S. Spoon, could you check back on July's thread 'cause I updated it with my two extra NSD's I got while on holiday, and I am getting withdrawal symptoms, so could do with that refilling champagne bottle - ta very much petal

Hi 3Dogs,
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about July. Will update it tomorrow and get you your champage - you must be suffering withdrawal symptoms!!!! Was going to do it this evening but it's toooo late now, got an early start tomorrow:(

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Second day of August and we’re already on page 8 already, this is definitely a very chatty month. Lots of NSDs rolling in already, well done everyone:j
Splitting this update in 2, don’t want to risk losing it...

A very warm welcome to all our newbies signing up this month, new people are always welcome to join, we’re a a very friendly, if slightly insane, bunch and a surreal sense of humour definitely helps. We are, however, very serious in our aim to cut down on our spending and are happy to give advice/tips/hints so please ask if you’re not sure about anything. Everyone seems to have more success if they post regularly on here and join in the chat - not sure why, but it seems to work, so please feel free to join in

So welcome to:
redcoltraine: :hello:hi and welcome, of course you can join, good to have you on board. Signing you up for 20 now, keep posting, look forward to lots of updates
BorassicLint: :hello:hi BL, good to see you here. Glad you’ve decided to join us and yes, it is good fun. You decide how many NSDs you’re going to try for during the month and the target goes on the front page. If you make your target you get a “prize” and you can then increase it if you want to get a second “prize” and so on. If you’re happy with 8 I’ll sign you up for that now, keep posting, that seems to be the secret and feel free to join in with the chat
kalojac: :hello: hi and welcome, of course you can join, good to have you on board. Signing you up for 10 now, look forward to lots of updates

Hi jinty
Glad you got the money back from the vet, the food was clearly disagreeing with pusskins - hope he's on the mend soon now. Poor doglet as well - and poor you with all those spends:(.

Hope everything returns to normal soon in the jinty household.

Oh dear - 2 of our doggies were coughing after we picked them up from kennels on Saturday night - and still a bit yesterday but seem OK today - we are hoping they do not have kennel cough. We asked about vacinnation before they went in, knowing how pups hate it being squirted up their nostrils, but kennels said they do not recommend it as you can only cover one type when there are 3 types they can get. I'm hoping they are all OK tomrrow, otherwise I will get appointment at vets to check them out. Hope your doggie is improving and that kitty is OK now diet sorted out


Thanks so much Spoon & 3dogs.
This morning the situ is that the cat has had diahorrea - lovely:mad:
and the dog is a little better today. I think the cat has pinched some of the gravy we used to disguise the dogs tablets and has upset his tum again. Im keeping him off all food today and see how he goes. If no probs I'll give him a bit of chicken tonight. The problem is that the meds the vet gave him need to go in food, but if he cant eat what can I do?:(
Sorry to hear about your doggies, 3dogs. I didnt know there were three types of Kennel cough. Hope your pups are ok. Mine got antibiotics and the vet told me to use childrens benylin for dry cough. That has helped soothe his throat. The thing is, he wasnt in kennels so he's got it from another dog when out walking. Its so contagious!:mad:
I'm so exasperated, I just want them to be well and happy!


Anyhoo - on a lighter note - I'm working today ( I need the rest LOL) so it will be a NSD today! Had a lovely surprised yesterday when my M&D dropped in and gave us a pressie of £100 towards the vet costs. How nice was that? we were thrilled:T Every cloud..........etc!

Will check back later, off to throw myself in the shower!

Have a lovely day everyone!:)

Soma

what a nice surprise Jintyb. My brother helped us out with vet fees one time too - we were very appreciative. Nice to hear that the vet can sort both your dog and cat out. Cat must be releived to be back on Whiskas - my cat hated that special diet stuff!

Morning all!
Not sure about today yet - I don't actually need anything, have no plans to go anywhere but you never know.

I will look at other financial bits and pieces today and see if I can find anything else to cut back on.

Good luck to everyone else.

LuckyBiscuit

Good morning everyone, Today should be a NSD but OH has gone back to work after 5 weeks off sick, and his boss has been a ******, so he was distraught about going back, So depending on if he tells him to stick his job, well see what the day brings!!!!
Ive made myself a to-do list to get something done, while im worrying!!!!
Love to all, Have a good day!!!!

Oh no! Today was going to be my first no-spend day, but I was meant to bring in cheese and salad to work and I left them at home gaahhh!!!!

That's okay, I'm still not going to spend. I'm going to eat porridge and fruit and yoghurt at work today and that's all, I'd rather go a bit hungry than have three spend days in a row!!!

Hannah_10

Nooooooo, unthinking spend for a CD just now on Amazon has scuppered today... I never even thought about an NSD... Gah I feel stupid. Must write NSD on the back of my hand for tomorrow.

Anyone else ever find the whole thought of it horribly hard?
