    Ok been back and checked and yesterday was number 14 happy0034.gif which means I only need one more before Sunday. Should be doable as I dont normally spend on a Wed (I'm at work and dont have much time between dropping DS off at nursery and starting work and the same at the end of the day). Only think I may need to do is top up my card for the canteen but I shall have a look today and top it up then if needed so as not to lose a NSD uneccessarily tomorrow winking0023.gif

    Number 8 yesterday!
  • Morning all,

    Should be another NSD for me today so that should be my 17th NSD with only another 3 to go before the end of the month which I should hopefully reach!

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Dont be so hard on yourself - you are still taking steps in the right direction, I'm giving you a pat on the back!!:T

    Thanks Jinty!! I just wish we were taking bigger steps, but I suppose any progress is better than none!!

    Hope everyone is well today - seems to be a few 'regulars' missing??

    Wet miserable day here today, not doing a lot to improve my mood! Should be NSD today unless anything unexpected crops up, I'll report back later xx

  • Good morning everyone
    Have just jotted up and am now on 12/16 not quite at target yet, but will give it a bl**dy good go. DDs 1&2 are away with grandparents and I am missing them madly (sob) but at least it will be easier to save money!!

    Well said, jinty.

    That's exactly what I was going to say to you last night, kate, but my bloomin' internet crashed:mad::mad::mad:

    You're doing brilliantly, any progress is much better than none and you're definitely heading the right way. We all have to have a bit of fun in our lives - don't be so hard on yourself.

    Take care
    ((((hugs))))

    Morning lovely NSD gang:A

    Well I came on here last night to do yesterday's update, half way through and then the bloomin' internet crashed and, no matter how much I swore at it, it wouldn't work...

    Update half typed (and saved this time), so will be back later with it and today's update (well, internet permitting, of course!!).

    Have a good day everyone.

  • Good morning everyone!

    Yesterday a friend bought me lunch, and the rest of the day's eats n treats came from the cupboards and drinks cabinet - so yesterday was an unexpected NSD, bringing my running total up to 19 NSDs - which means I've met my target - woo hoo!!!

    As we've got a few days of the month still to go, I'd like to increase my target to 22 NSDs please - thank you as ever Spoon! Sorry to hear of your puter and tinternet problems.

    I'm meeting up with another friend later, so I'm not expecting a NSD, but in keeping with the Scottish theme, as Sean Connery would say ... never say never ... :rotfl:
