Just out of interest what's the record for a monthly total does anyone know? Also wondering if anyone has kept track of the record of NSDs in a row. If not it could be something we do for the future with maybe a little bit at the top of the running total like a mini hall of fame to further inspire folks.:D

Hi twistedhazel, thanks for the suggestion..

Would anyone else be interested in a hall of fame for NSDs in a row? If so, will add it when I start the new thread tomorrow.

As with jinty this month with her 6 in a row, you could maybe set a target and get a different prize at the end of it - or something like that?

Let me know what you all think

Ooooo,you'll get in trouble with Big Mumma & Spoon for using the F word. On this thread we don't Fail we just don't get the amount we would like but it's all in the right direction of keeping money in our hand's, not the shop's,and Good Luck for next month's target. And on that note :oit's a spend day for me,needed egg's for the date & walnut muffin's.

Thank you, boult, was just about to post the same message - no one fails on here, every NSD we get is a success:j:j:j

Hi all NSD'ers

It has been sooooo long since I've been in here . Writing those assignments has really eaten in to my time then I was poorly for a few days. It has really shown too...I have been keeping notes in my diary even though I haven't got in here. I fell well short of my target this month, only 10 so far out of the 17 I made as a target (and one of them is today):eek:

I think that as I have had so much going on in my head I haven't been very organised

I am determined to do better next month and still want to keep my target at 17.......

Mind you just as I feel I'm getting somewhere bill wise I got a P800 today saying I owe £600 odd in tax from 08-09 and 09-10 :mad: Made my day NOT!!!! so need to really knuckle down on unorganised spends

Will try to get in tomorrow, if not see you all next month

:hello:

Hi kathy
Lovely to see you again, I was worried about you.

Sorry you've been poorly, hope you're OK now? Hope the assignments went well?

Arrghh to the tax bill, definitely not what you needed now:mad::mad::mad:

Take care

Now, how's preparations for our Halloween bash? Alnwick Castle here we come.........wooooooooooo!

All prepared, Nargle, skeletons, witches, pumpkins and ghosts all safely installed, dopey's aliens are already inspecting the suits of armour, a space has been cleared for us to breakdance with our skeletons - have I missed anything?:D

Hello to:
jintyb: busy day for you by the sounds of it, but hope you managed some relaxing time as well - another Downton Abbey fan, I see:D.
Hope your aunt is getting better - is her skin improving?
Fingers crossed for no 22 today:)
cw18: not surprised you’re chuffed, that cheese was one heck of a bargain.:T
Ahh.. thanks, don’t worry, my skeleton is coming with us on the outing tomorrow, hopefully a few more will be coming along too;)
Yay to the new bike, that will be much kinder to your leg and it’s just as good exercise, tbh, and to the panniers - another bargain
Great news about the physio appointment, hope it helps:T
elfen: ooh, happy spends today, kitty arriving on Monday, that’s great:T
boultdj: ooh.. date and walnut muffins sound scrummy, worth losing an NSD for them, hope they turned out well:D
kerri gt: well done for resisting the oven (I’m sure OH is very relieved:rotfl:). Fingers crossed you manage to find the handle (without the kit) somewhere at a more reasonable price. :T
Good spends today, but cranberries:eek:

I have no idea what is going on chez spoon, but I seem to have made no 24 today:j, so I now have earned my witch to take to our Hallowe’en bash tomorrow night.:j
Hoping tomorrow will be no 25 - if so I will have equalled my record of 25 in June - a very happy Spoony:D:D

Off to update the front page now, so see you all tomorrow.

‘night everyone

I think that's a great idea, as long as you dont mind yet another target to keep track of!
Well done on your NSD's this month Spoon - that's brilliant!

Good morning everyone

Reporting # 22 for yesterday,:j should be another today.
Cant believe it! Only a few months ago I thought I was doing well reaching my first target of 5! For any newbies -be warned this is very addictive !
Visited my aunt again yesterday and the improvement in her skin is amazing. Just shows what can be accomplished with intensive treatment. She'll be in for another few days though.
Yes, I am a Downton Abbey fan.We dont get it in Scotland on mainstream telly, but through the wonders of S&y+ we get it on ITV London, so I record it and watch at my leisure. I love a period drama, sadly they're thin on the ground these days on the telly!:(
I have a NSD dilemma for you this morning:
I have been saving on Asda cards for the past year and I put the money away on my usual grocery spend days. I will be using them later in the month for Christmas purchases - do these days count as spend days or not?
I'm trying to work out what my target should be for Nov. I'm on holiday for a week but not going anywhere, just using the days to get organised for you-know-what!

Today I will be mostly knitting and knitting.;)

Have a lovely day everyone!:)
