    Morning

    Got very behind here but just reporting no 5 for Tuesday.
    Monday would have been an NSD as well but I had to get some skimmed milk. Daft really because I had some semi-skimmed which I could have watered down (kicks self).

    Very well done to everybody meeting their targets - I might manage it - I only need two more and surely I can keep out of the shops for two days out of eleven! :o
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    Rant over - sorry but ...... :mad:
    Rant away - sounds horrible :mad:

    I know the health care system is seriously overstretched/understaffed (seemingly especially in hospitals), but I can't imagine how bad it is for patients who don't have family to keep an eye on things :eek:

    Sending you (and your Mum and the rest of your family) some (((hugs)))

    I have driven over 500 miles through rain, wind, sleet, snow, blinding October sunshine. the client who i seeing, wasn't where he'd said he'd be at the time he'd said he would be. He eventually turned up, was a pain in the butt, moaned about everything, abused his staff and was a general pig.

    I was cold, tired and my hotel was orrible, so I just murdered him!!!!

    Fully justified and his staff cheered!

  • Been lurking on the forum for a while but have now braved saying hello :D

    Trying really hard to have my first official MSE NSD and i could easily do it if i wasnt craving cigarettes. I decided to quit yesterday as cutting back on everything to get the debt down bar cigarettes just seemed insane!

    Off to tie myself to the radiator now... corner shop is only 5 mins away...

    I can do this!!!

  • Hi everyone, claiming NSD for today as I'm working late again and won't be leaving the house again. Besides after yesterdays monster shop-a-thon there's next to nothing in my bank so I couldn't be spending even if I wanted to. :o Roll on Monday when I get paid!

    Well done on quitting the ciggies OneStepAtatime! The first 3 days are usually the worst I remember them well (my hubby practically begged me to start smoking again, he wasn't overly keen on the mood swings that came with nicotine withdrawal :rotfl:) Stick with it and welcome! :D
