The NSD way to a supreme September

niccatw

Today wasn't a NSD - as expected! But I did take the money out that I need for Thursday so I may just grab the last 2 just in the nick of time!

Feel a wee bit like I'm cheating putting the money aside for Thursday. Which is daft because I wouldn't think twice about it if it was part of my fod budget...

And it's something I'll need to get my thinking cap on for as I'm toying with joining the payment a day challenge... and I won't be able to reconile it with this challenge if I don't work out my rules!!!!

If any-one else's grey matter is still working this time at night, do let me know if you do both challenges, or how you think I should go about it!

Hi everyone :wave:

NSD No 11 for me today.

3Dogs

Went out today (car boot and helping with slimming class) but only got yoghurts, which they still didn't have yesterday, but only spent the money I had set aside for this, so reporting in with NSD NUMBER 20 meaning that I get my skipping sheep - woohoo doggies will love to play with her as they love playing with their fleece blankets :j :j :j

I guess with 2 days left normally being NSD's for me, I'd better go for another 2 NSD's making my new target 22 - if for no better reason than I lurve that bat :T :T

Go for the drinking, i tend to find that the silly questions follow the beer quite easily!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Brilliant, BDINI, I take it you're speaking from experience there:rotfl::rotfl:

I was just reading through some of the posts from the past few days and it struck me that we're all doing (touch wood) rather well this month. Lots of big targets being met or exceeded and great to see so many newbies join us this month (says she, who sounds like an old fart but was a newbie herself last month!). Well done everyone - and remember, there's no such thing as failing on this challenge...only 'not quite making it but doing our best' xx

Well said there, Kerri, sounding like the old pro that you are now:D

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Getting close to the end of the month now, more targets tumbling and more NSDs rolling in.:j:j

Huge congratulations to :jslowlyfading:j and :jelfen:j who have both smashed target no 3 - the first time this has ever been achieved since I’ve been looking after the NSD challenge. Bottle of champage to both of you, I think.:j:j:j

Congratulations - target made:
toottifrootti: :hello:hi and welcome back,:j yay to 20 NSDs and making your target, that’s brilliant, well done.:j Little froglet is making his way up to you now, hope you like him.;)
Sorry you’ve had to go back into hospital and hoping you’re making a good recovery:)
boultdj: :j yay to 16 NSDs and target no 2, that’s brilliant, well done. :j Sheep is skipping her way over to you now, she’ll look after your grass along with Daisy, you’ll have so much milk and cheese before long you won’t know what to do with them;);)
dmb: :jyay to 12 NSDs and your target, that’s brilliant, very well done.:j You now have a little frog on his lilypad making his way to you, hope you like him.:)
Ahh, thanks, it’s a pleasure:o
3Dogs: :j yay to 20 NSDs, target no 2 is safely in the bag now:j . Llittle sheep is skipping her way to you, hope the doggies enjoy playing with her.

And hello to:

Hope you manage to resist buying more toilet rolls
AllieBallie: oh dear, sorry about the shopping today:(, but you’ve got two more potential NSDs left to make your target, be strong, you can do it:)
niccatw: well done for being organised, it’s not cheating, it’s planning ahead to avoid any additional, unnecessary spending

And I’ve made target no 2 as well, :j23 NSDs are now mine ....... all mine. I’m tempted to go for 24 tomorrow to get the purple bat, first time I’ll have made the 3 targets, so I’m going to go for it (I hope you’ll all forgive my little indulgence:o)

Off to do the usual update now, see you all tomorrow.

Hi everyone
Just wanted to add a special congratulations to slowlyfading and elfen, both of whom have smashed and exceeded three targets this month - the first time this has been managed since I started looking after the NSD challenge (or unless someone can tell me something that I've completely forgotten, of course:o).

Well done to you both, I think this deserves a celebration, so champagne is called for I think.

toottifrootti

spoon, is the thread up for October yet - I couldnt find it - could you put me down for 20 days again please

thanks for all your hard work running the thread - you do a brilliant job
toots xx

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday I managed to crank my running total up to 18 NSDs - only one more to get to reach my pledge!

Have a good day everyone!

jintyb

Good morning everyone from a very rainy and wet Edinburgh!

Well done to Slowlyfading and Elfen - what a great achievement this month! Enjoy the champers!
No NSD yesterday as you know, but going for one today - any spends have been planned for and put in my "special" purse, so provided I dont spend anything else I should be on course for my new target!

Have a lovely day everyone!:)

PS - Thanks for my froggie - lovin it, Spoon!
