    I'm new to these challenges so I'll go for 8 NSD in August.
    Got to save up some spending money for my trip to London.

    :hello:

    Hi all NSD'ers

    Thanks for the new thread Spoon :kisses3:

    Well today wasn't an NSD as I was in London and despite my best intentions I did have a coffee at Milton Keynes on the way, but at least that was all :) I have had my cheque to cover the train fare and put it in the hole in the wall tonight.

    I had planned on no more spends this week but I have an interview on Friday :eek: and after living in jeans for the hostel for five years my wardrobe is extremely limited, I did try a couple of things on but they look like I have squeezed into them and feel uncomfortable :(.

    I will be careful what I get though and will make it something I could wear every day if I get the job. I need a haircut too to may try that trick of someone's from last month (or was it June?)

    (((((((hugs)))))))) for Karen and Jinty hope things get better soon for both Mum in law and kitty. :grouphug:

    I am going to try to up my target this month and see if I can stay organised so could you put me down for 17 please Spoon?

    Welcome to everyone new and coming back :happylove

    See you all tomorrow, off to catch Sherlock

    :hello:

    ps I still seem to have a few strange kitties around from yesterday.........did anyone not have theirs back?

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Hi everyone

    My first official attempt at this one! Can you put me down for 10 NSDs. Its going to be a difficult month this month. We've got a wedding, hen party, our own wedding anniversary and a 60th birthday!!!

    Going to try really hard not to spend on days when one of the above isn't happening - not even a cup of tea at work!
    I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals - Winston Churchill
    £5 a day in Dec - £16.80/£155 = 11% done

    Evenin' all!

    No NSD for me today but quite a low spendy day...and it was a lovely one too. We walked down to Camden Market and had a nosey about (we hadn't been before) and had some Polish food for lunch from one of the stalls which was really yummy! Then we walked back along the canal up to Angel, where we got the bus home. So lots of free exercise ( we think we walked about 7 miles!) and not too much money spent. A really lovely day!

    Seems like there are loads of challengers this month!! It's gonna be a good one :D

    Jo :)
