    Debt-free and Proud!
    Yey! Yesterday was NSD number 18 for me - only 1 more to get to reach my target - not sure when I'll squeeze it in though, as I too have a grocery shop to do today, and then away for the bank holiday weekend ... hopefully I'll managed it by the skin of my teeth - no change there then!
    today I paid ioff the balance of my loan and now I'm officially debt free

    Huge congratulations mrsinvisible! It's inspirational to see fellow DFWs making it to the Promised Land!

    Have a good Bank Holiday weekend everyone!

    Congrats MrsInvisible - being debt free must be one of the best feelings (I know I will enjoy it when i get there!) :D hugs for you :)


    I managed a NSD yesterday as we didn't spend anything before, during or after the show last night so I'm really chuffed....even though I could have really done with a drink...I know my liver will thank me one day!!

    So that's me at 11 NSDs now :) thanks spoon!

    Now i need to go back and catch up on the many posts on here!!!

    Am still accepting that i shouldn't be mad with myself if i don't make it, as all the extra spends have been DIY related, i've still only done one grocery shop per week (my problem before starting this challenge was that i would spend on foody bits almost every day) & sometimes i've had do the DIY bits over 2 days because the stuff's been so heavy (& i don't have a car so have to lug it all on the bus :eek:)
    Morning BDINI
    Glad all the [STRIKE]nagging [/STRIKE]oops, supporting is finally paying off:D:D. No need to be hard on yourself, you've done brilliantly this month in view of the massive amount of DIY you've done. Huge pat on the back for you:T
    So i've decided that if i only buy the wallpaper & paste tonight then i will count it as a NSD as it's out of the decorating fund anyway & then as long as there's no treats over the weekend i might just scrape the panda.... do you reckon thats ok or is it cheating?

    In my book that is absolutely fine. No treats and a panda - what more could you possibly want:D:D

    Have a lovely day x

    I had a NSD yesterday! Mr Looloo treated us to curry and beer! YUM

    Today could be a spend day as I think we are popping out for a glass of vino at lunch time and not sure if somone with a company credit card will be joining us or if we are buying our own - so will let you know. Have to go shopping later big food shop but Mr Looloo is buying that as he got a good wage this month and I have been doing most of it lately.

    Hope everyone is well today

    If you want to and have time would you like to have a wee look at my post next door xx

    Increase your guest list to include us NSDers (along with Hubert and the aliens), and it will all go swimmingly :D

    It'd certainly be a talking point for your other guests for years to come :rotfl:
