Hey everyone, Spoon - can you add another 2 NSDs for me please?! Thank you!! I've had a chest infection the last few days (all better now though
) and i thought that might help me spend less but not really
silly magazines and chocolate jumping out at me and making me buy them (or was that me asking OH to buy them at the shops on my behalf?!)! oh dear!!! still enough time to reach target so all should be well at the end of the month.
Those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter0 -
Oooh I've just checked and listed my receipts and according to my budget book I have done the following so far - "drum roll please"..lol.
21 NSD's- I can't believe it, maybe when I am not stressing about how many days it actually makes it easier. Although I do make sure I spend and buy what I need on the days I am having a spending day (does that make sense?!) Yikes I think I miscalculated somewhere, although the receipts are showing 21 yet by my calculations on here it is 17 NSD's. Now I'm not sure how many days I have done..eeeps!!!
How has everyone else been doing?
I was given the cheery news that it is exactly 2 months till Christmas morning,:eek: this morning at the vets..I nearly asked if I could get any gas as I got depressed..lol:rotfl:Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Yesterday was NSD #9, didn't leave the house all day!
And today will be NSD #10 for me, was meant to be going to for dinner with my friend tonight, but she just cancelled on me, shes not feeling too great. So instead i am thinking of making a start on my essay and catching up with some tv shows.
So thats me officially reached my target of 10/10 NSD's this month...WOOO HOOOO!0 -

Evening all!
Chilly one all round! I am declaring today NSD no 8!!! Thanks spoon, I don't think I'll extend my target again as I don't think I'll have any more NSDs so if I do it's a bonus!!
Well I seem to have developed sciatica (or something similar, it's nerve type pain in my lower back right side and is worse when i get up from sitting/resting) today!So am in bed already hoping it will pass quickly?!
I was thinking of starting to make a patchwork quilt, but I am TOTALLY clueless about these kind of things (I just think it would be a nice thing to pass down eventually). Was wondering if any of you clever people could point me in the right direction?!Just keep swimming0 -
Hi
Had a wee spend today, but that was to stock me up on things for the next few weeks. No spending tomorrow. Wahoo.
