The awesomely August NSD challenge

confused76

evening all
i'm sorry i have done badly this month!

the strange thing is my budget has been mini so i haven't been making big purchases - eg the other day i was hoping for a nsd but needed to buy a birthday card. next day i remembered i needed stamps :mad: i don't think my bad memory helps!

i'm hoping for a nsd day tomorrow, will let you know. you're all doing very well by the sounds of things!

*confused scuttles off ashamed at her efforts*

Don't think it will be an issue as i'm painting the ceilings so with all the drips i'm bound to make i won't be fit to go anywhere!!!:eek:

Aren't you coming to jinty's shed party with us, we don't mind the paint drips:D

Confused~Please dont feel that you have to scuttle off.
Even if the challenge helps us think about things that can only be good.

How big is Jinty's shed? And is she doing a barbie?

Hi all NSD'ers

:hello:

Sorry I haven't been in but I have been so tired , which has led to spendy days :mad:

Gave in and got chocolate on Monday, tried soooo hard but needed petrol and was shattered after overtime. On Tuesday I met up with my friend for coffee so I knew that would be spendy but at least kept it low Wednesday was my second job shift and I gave in and had chips on the way home :mad:, was because I'd left my purse in my bag from the day before!!! and yesterday I was so shattered and cold after delivering envelopes I did the same :eek: Got to go and do some more in a minute but I have eaten and am most definitely leaving my purse well and truly behind!! Need to make the most of it not raining and not leave it like I want to, might just do a couple of small streets. I'm on a late shift tomorrow so at least I can lay in.............don't know where the Tardis will have got to by the time I get in :rotfl:

I know I will have to spend on Tuesday to get to mum's but will keep it as cheap as possible 'cos London Midland have got a half price sale on so I can get the train for £7.50 return which is good

So after a few pitfalls and the knowledge I won't be hitting target unless we can slip an extra day into August I'm declaring today number 13 . Mind you if I manage to make it through until Tuesday then I will at least have got one more than last month, we shall see.

Sorry I haven't really had time to catch up on the thread but (((((((hugs)))))))))) to all that need them and well done to all getting NSDs :T

And thank you all for being here :grouphug:

See you all tomorrow xx

:hello:

thanks beanielou:A i am really quite shocked about my nsd's actually, will make a more conscious effort next month :)

maybe when i go to buy something i need to ask myself do i really really need this or can i do without? money is tight so i'm not splashing it around
hmmm x

Now, now, young confused, we'll have to have a little chat here..

You've had 3 NSDs this month, nothing to be ashamed of there at all, that means 3 days where those nasty retailers have had none of your hard-earned and precious dosh - something to be proud of :T

NSDs are all about being organised and sometimes it takes a bit of practice, we all started off with small numbers and progressed slowly.

Don't be hard on yourself, stick with it and keep posting here, we'll give you lots of encouragement (and maybe the occasional kick up the bum if needed:D) and a prize when you make your first target, what more could you want:D

Not sure about the barbie, but we can always take some food along (as normal):D
