The octosyllabic October NSD challenge

elfen

Tomorrow SHOULD be an NSD, since ink cartridges come out of DSA money and shopping out of food budget.

Really weird thing was, there were absolutely loads of other women looking for a bag too that I wondered if it were National New Bag Day or summat

_pale_I missed my chance to have an excuse for a new bag _pale_ Thinking about it actually we really should have national new bag day, national new shoes day, national new coat day, national new cushions day........... the list could go on.

Well done on resisting the £60odd bag though, I always find the ones I like the look of at tk are the costly ones, just shows we have good taste bigmummaf.

Declaring my 5th NSD today. I did buy an indian takeaway, but got re-imbursed for it 10mins later so still counting it as a NSD.

Not a NSD for me again today - Friday is chips day in the school canteen so have agreed to give the junior hoobies dinner money on a Friday and then have beans on toast or similar for tea, freeing up more time for laundry and chores:(.

Also had my roots done (very long overdue) but for about half the price of the salon I used to frequent so fairly MS. Think I need a quick shower now to wash off all those annoying bits of hair that get in your clothes!

Can't decide what to do at the weekend. Need to spend on Saturday or Sunday or both, but ideally would like to fit all spending onto one day - decisions, decisions......

Best wishes all

P.S. What on earth is a fridge wiggle? Sorry re-read the post to discover it's a Friday wiggle, not a fridge wiggle!

It's the equivalent of the freezer squeeze - and I'm getting pretty good at both :rotfl:

A spendy day for me, but I didn't mind so much since I didn't buy any naughties in sainsbugs and stuck to my list. Woohoo! I nipped into L1d1 but I couldn't find anything I needed on my list so I just went to Sainsbugs instead - I know where everything is in Sainsbugs and I found the cheapest option for everything so at least that's something. Also, it now means I have food in my flat - it was becoming scarce, particularly on the vegetable front.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Today has been NSD #5 for me as I've spent a total of zero


Unfortunately it's also been a day for a total zero on just about every other front as well

Got up 45 mins late, had breakfast (at some point), sat around doing nothing for 3 hours, then decided I'd better get off my @rse and get on with something.... so instead of starting to sort stuff for the weekend I went out for 2.5 mile run

Came home, made and ate lunch, vegged out for a bit more, trotted down to work (needed to get the nutritional info for something I've long since thrown the packaging from), came home, got tea ready for cooking, walked the dog, made and ate tea, and have sat around doing nothing since then as well.

I'd planned to be heading to bed by 10pm, but the only thing I've found for the weekend so far is my paper trimmer so looks like it'll be a late one - and after I took a day off work to get ready

Think I must need new glasses - I read that one as the freezer square! A sort of hoe-down that you do with a person you dislike perhaps?

One more day for me - 4 out of 16 so far! This challenge helps so much on Fridays after work, when all I want to do is buy comfort food.

butdoineedit?

Ok small spend today, haven't been eating much so the fridge was at zero & i figured that if i was going to have a guest tomorrow i could at least offer her bread & milk, so that's what i bought... & nothing else :j
I guess that's the upside of still having a dodgy stomach, it was easy to resist the kitkats on special offer!!!!

Dreading my return to work on Tuesday, am hoping you might be right Spoon that this guy will be nicer, but the knot in the pit of my stomach is telling me that maybe he won't
I think it's going to take a real boot up my backside to make me go back & not hide behind another week's sick note :eek:

Does anyone else find that they analyse everything too much now? Before i stated thinking about my money & how i was spending it i never really stressed about anything, more just coasted along with my fingers crossed & hoped for the best in most areas of my life. Now not only do i think about what i'm spending, i also seem to add that level of over analysing to the rest of my life, think if i carry on i might drive myself crazy!!!!

Well done everyone!!

Lots of NSDs so far - this thread is so good! I have been tempted all day with a dress and some shoes but didn't want to spoil today so have decided to see if I still like them tomorrow as it will have to be a spend day for me car boot sales - :T :rotfl:ear is still painful though so am going along the lines of buying the clothes to make me feel better

So that's NSD number 4 please :j
