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

What Spoon says!!! It is really hard to start off with, you just need to give it time. I found the longer i did the challenge the more i stopped shopping without a list which upped my NSD's no end & i also stopped "just looking" in the shops which inevitably always led to a spend!! :eek:
Pat yourself on the back for the 3 days you have got & keep posting, we are all here to [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] i meant help :rotfl:

So, tomorrow it's Beanie's birthday bash in one of Jinty's sheds and the end of August rave up in the other? Where will the donkey be parked? How far apart are these sheds? Will we need Hubert to carry us from one to the other, particularly after we've had a few beers? And if we have a barbie, will there be a man wearing just a plastic pinny with a bra and pants motif on the front to do the cooking? I have to ask these questions as I have very fixed standards about how parties should be run.....

That's right, conf, the secret is definitely being more organised. Stick with us, we'll get you there:D:D

I'm good thanks, much better today, had a bit of a downer this week, but all chirpy again now thank goodness:T:T. Work's been OK this week, thanks, much more manageable than last week. Hope you're OK, will pop over to the inn one evening and say hi:wave: x

Happy Birthday Beanielou







Declaring today as NSD #16

Don't need anything, didn't appear to be anything interesting headed for final reduction tonight, and still have stuff to shoe-horn into my freezers anyway :eek:

Restarted my freezer stock-take yesterday, and managed to repack the 5 drawers I did to make a bit of space. Still have 4 drawers to do, so must get that finished tonight.

I really must start adding to my s/sheet when I put stuff into them, rather than just marking when I take stuff out - that would save me having to do the stock-take at the end of every month
