    Another NSD for me:j

    Thats 2/2 so far for sept!!!
  • Oh dear... first time at this game and although I already have 1 NSD in the bag, I think I'm going to fail my target of 15 days. Basically, I now have friends coming to stay for the weekend so need to go and buy food tonight. Also, have been offered a ticket to go see Legally Blond on Monday with some other friends that I REALLY want to see and know that my husband would NEVER come see it with me. So, although I'm still paying full price (£29.50) I did get Zizzi vouchers from this website so at least it'll only be a £6 supper. Right... starting from Tuesday next week I'll really pull my socks up. (Hope I'm still alllowed to play even though I've just outed myself as a loser!)

    First NSD - determined to stick to it. Packed lunch. On the way home from work the petrol warning light came on but I drove on determined. I'll get some in the morning.
    Door bell rung frightened the life out of me as I thought it was a charity collection. That's tomorrow. Pheww!!

    So 1 down 9 to go.

    Good luck everyone

    All might not be lost yet Lucy-Lu. Do you have anything else you need to get in the next week that can be purchased on the days you already know you have to spend on (ie tonight and Monday)? The art of getting NSDs is to work out what you have to buy and then buy it on a day you are already spending on.

    For example - I really needed to go shopping today but after checking my bank account realised that my CCs were being paid tomorrow. Therefore, instead of spending both today (shopping) and tomorrow (CCs), I will only be spending tomorrow and therefore getting an NSD today. However, I include all my pennies spent so you may not be including things like DDs/SOs and CCs.

    Sorry if I've now confused you.........

    Declaring an unexpected NSD 1 today thanks Spoon. Still buzzing from all the cups of tea. Won't be having any more tonight...........unless If can get me one of those self-filling tea cups. Brain is too scrambled to do a song today I'm afraid.

    Normal service should be resumed tomorrow.........just got to get down off the lampshade........girl_wacko.gif
