That's a wise thought soma. My problem is that I always seem to go food shopping when I'm hungry. So impulse purchases feature a lot.
Melton Mowbray pork pies are very enticing.

I have a thing about pork pies too when I go shopping - what on earth is that all about? Even if I'm not starving I often fancy one, though have to ration myself to only eating small bits at a time as they are soooo full of fat.

Just don't go out. The most effective way to a NSD known to man (and woman).

...expect for us internet shoppers! :rotfl:

I like watching that tv programme $pend4ho!ics & one lady on there kept her take away cup from a flash coffee shop, but made her own coffee to put in it at home to take out with her; she said it made her think she was still having her daily fix And you could perhaps buy a pack of croissant in your weekly shop & freeze some, just taking one out of an evening to defrost for the next day?

Ohhh I love that programme, I know exactly the one you are talking about too. I love Bank of Mum and Dad too. Thing is I watch them then think...well my spending isn't nearly as bad as that so I think I'll go shopping...I'm thinking that might not be the point of the programme?? :rotfl:

Anyway, declaring NSD #5 WHOOOO that's me over half way through my target now :T will be a small spend day tomorrow as we need bread but amazed that I am up to 5 already. Just shows what a bit of planning can do.

Number 4 for me today!:j
Walked straight past every shop I passed and didn't spend anything apart from the £14 on ink for work (which doesn't count).

Will probably be a spendy day tomorrow (seem to be able to do every other at the moment) as I have an appointment at the bank so will need parking money (if I can't find a free space) and will pop into FF to get 4 cans of Diet Pepsi for £1 if they have them.
Other than that nothing planned moneywise.

well i dont know whether today was a NSD or not, as i "borrowed" £10 outta the pot, that OH put in, for a takeout

well i did have ninja class last night so very achey and tired, i also put 2 coats on the H/S/L, so i have been up and down the ladders all day, and i took thing 3 for her drowning lesson

so as it was originally his money can i claim a NSD ???

Hi everyone,

Just popping in to declare NSD No. 4 today. Sorry I haven't been around much lately - have been feeling a bit down so haven't been much company (virtually or in real life either - poor hubby)

Going to read through the posts I've missed now - the thread always cheers me up!

Today WOULD have been an NSD ... had I not bought a hot sausage roll mid-morning at work because I was hungry!

It was soooooooooooooooooo yummy :drool: but it means I spent money :mad:

BDINI: yay to the new kitchen, woohoo indeed, thats brilliant. :jGlad you’ve made the decision hopefully it will feel as though you’re making progress finally
Good luck with the builder tomorrow and fingers crossed for an NSD as well:)

Aww Spoon thank you for the encouragement, it really does help so much. Feeling a bit today as was yet another spend day due to the fact that i had to get some nails to do the last bit of boxing in before the plasterer comes. Have to keep reminding myself that tomorrow was planned to be a spend day as i needed to get some groceries for when my dad comes up at the weekend, but i did that today, so really i haven't had an extra spend day, i've just moved it... doesn't help tho when i'm feeling that i'm going backwards instead of making progress :mad:

Right sorry for the rant, the good news is that the builder was amazing, finished the whole job in one day, charged me much less than i expected to pay & the new layout of the kitchen diner looks amazing :j
Everytime i feel so tired of DIY that i could cry i just have to look at it & i know that it will convince me that the finished job will be soooo worth it!! :T
