  • Ooooo...Kathy40UK...I often leave my purse at home by accident so I don't think it will be difficult!

    Ok, I'm playing, starting low, I think I can manage 3 NSDs this month. I hope I can manage more...!

    hey, newbee here, but im aiming for 10..
    advice needed for the new person!!

    Thank u all

    Hi Fenna and welcome to the thread :hello:

    I have found that coming in here and posting every day really helps me to focus, also at first keeping a diary of what I spent so I could weed out the unnessary stuff and try to combine things (eg If I know I am going to do a main shop one day then try to get petrol, leccy and baccy all on the same day)

    Leaving the purse and cards at home helps too :D

    I've also found that when I am down or overtired I find it all too easy to spend so I am trying to make a consious effort to be a bit kinder to myself whek I go back to work this week

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

  • :bdaycake:happy Birthday Kerri, hope you've had a good day.


    :bdaycake:happy birthday Miche, hope you've had a good day too.

    and I'll have another one please Spoon, still recovering from the sojorn at the wedding, ears are still ringing from the "band" and still a bit incredulous that I was there, and the Bride's Mum has left a message to say that some of the photos weren't what they'd hoped and would we like to get dreesed again and turn up for a retake:eek::eek::eek:

    noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
  • Well as I envisiged (sp) I didnt have a NSD over the weekend. However, I am was very disciplined and didnt spend a great deal.

    I didnt have a NSD today, also envisiged as I came to work on the train, however I did bring my sandwiches which is a good plus, so todays spend was minimal :)

    Tommorow I shall be on the train again as I have a meeting first thing and some stuff to do after work so cant really come in on the bike :( However, the remaining part of the week I should be ok to make up for lost time.

    Hope you all had a good weekend :)
