    Well, im declaring NSD 13/15 for August. Bit disappointed as my spending just seems to have gone astray this month. :o

    Anyway, fresh month tomorrow and fresh start.
    See you all in Sept thread. :)
    You should know by now that we don't do defeatist on this Challenge young TWS :naughty: 13 nsds is nothing to be sneezed at & if we look at the first post of our threads, Spoon says very clearly that ANY day we keep money in our pockets & out of the shops tills, is something to be celebrated :T

    The new gizmo is supposed to be coming today & it will hopefully--or had better :angry:--improve t'intawebbin for us so watch this space! Someone will be here to take delivery as No 1 Offspring is playing chauffeur for Nanny & I, & we're off to MrA which is an hour's drive in both directions :eek: Thank goodness we can co-ordinate holiday sometimes cuz I hate driving unless there's no option. Well..no..tis not the driving as much as the lack of consideration from most other road users that I don't like :mad:

    So it looks like I'm finishing this month on 22 nsds. Thanks for keeping us in some sort of order Spoon & see you in September's thread :wave:

    Well, since this is the last day of August, and I've already spent today, I can say that I only managed 9 out of 15 NSDs for August. Quite poor!

    Oh well, at least I had a good bank holiday! Congratulations to all those who reached their target!
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    Hi all NSD'ers

    :hello:

    Didn't make one yesterday :( Was so tired after finishing envelopes I had a take away :( Mind you it was very nice :D

    Won't be one today as have bought my tickets to get to mum's online (1/2 price :D) and will need a bus when I get there. am going to take my lappy so I can log in though LOL to keep me on the straight and narrow

    So made 15 this month which is still good I guess but will try harder next month. I know I will need petrol. leccy and shopping when I get back so will try to do that all on the same day and I have my regular trip to London on Sunday but got tickets for that today too (also half price :D) and will get reimbursed for them so I will take some sarnies or something and try to avoid the odd coffee, don't know if I will manage it :think: train stations are so boring :naughty:

    Well done everyone this month :T and many thanks to Spoon for the thread.

    Can I put myself down for 15 for September please?

    See you all soon luffley peeps

    Glad you've managed to get through it kathy, it will get easier with time. Have a lovely time at your mum's, you need a break and will probably feel lots better when you get back.

    Take care
    ((((hugs))))

    22 NSDS for me for month of August please Spoon. Not been around much this month and spent loads and loads of money but still managed to get 22 so I'm happy - although I would be much happier if the 9 days that I did spend were not such high ones! Oh well, there is always September. Although I am off to Cornwall for a few days so that will definitely make a hugh dent in my finances.

    I have not been able to catch up on what's been happening but I do hope all is well with everyone.

    Spoon many thanks for keeping us all on track - looking forward to the September thread. Please put me down for 20. Many thanks.

  • Hi all

    Well today was NSD 22. This month has been rubbish health wise plus i've had some major plumbing problems (not health ones!!!) so i haven't posted since the beginning of the month and have missed all the gossip.

    It's great to see everyone doing so well and being so supportive. Hopefully Sept will be better and i'll try and keep up.

    But as you can see the NSD ethos is well and truely engrained now, even when i don't get chance to post.

    C u all on the Sept thread x
