Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Ooh lots more pages today and more newbies and “oldies” joining up again - everyone’s welcome, the more the merrier and it’s never too late to join up. One of our newbies last month, tjp70, joined halfway through the month and managed 7 NSDs - just shows what we can do with a bit of encouragement. Hope you like the prizes this month - kerri asked for a firework theme this month, hope you approve.:D

A very warm welcome to all our newbies signing up this month, new people are always welcome to join, we’re a a very friendly, if slightly insane, bunch and a surreal sense of humour definitely helps. We are, however, very serious in our aim to cut down on our spending and are happy to give advice/tips/hints so please ask if you’re not sure about anything. Everyone seems to have more success if they post regularly on here and join in the chat - not sure why, but it seems to work, so please feel free to join in

So welcome and good luck to:
:hello:missfit: hi and welcome. Signing you up for 12 now - good luck. Don’t forget to keep posting, we’ll give you loads of encouragement
:hello:bernie115: hi and welcome. Signing you up for 7 now - good luck and don’t forget to keep posting
Like the positive attitude, you’ll get loads of encouragement here as well
:hello:WelshWoofer: hi and welcome, of course you can join in. Signing you up for 10 now, keep posting and we’ll give you loads of encouragement - you can do it!!
:hello:L-M: hi and welcome, of course you can join in. You set your own rules here, so if you want to exclude your PAD payments, that’s fine. The aim is to cut down on “unnecessary” spends, so I think you would fit in well here. Signing you up for 10 now - good luck and don’t forget to keep posting
:hello:cor26: hi and welcome, it’s never too late to join here. Signing you up for 10 now - good luck and don’t forget to keep posting, we’ll give you loads of encouragement

And welcome back to all the regulars and those returning to the NSD fold, good luck for this month:
:hello:Natty68: hi again, never too late to join up here, signing you up for 10 again. Good luck, you can do it, we’ll give you loads of encouragement (and kicks up the bum if you need them)
:hello:debtbegone: never too late to join up here, signing you up for 15 again. Good luck and keep posting
:hello:LfV: hi and welcome back, never to late to join, as you know. Signing you up for 18 again, good luck. We definitely have to have some Disney themed prizes for you next year in honour of your hols. Great news about DDs kickboxing club


And well done for no 1 today - great start to the month for you all:
:jboultdj - hope the cold is getting better - I’ve that myself in front of the TV, wake myself up with a start
:jjintyb - ooh.. thanks for the cake offer, and enjoy John Barrowman - think he’ll be great
:jdonna dynamo - glad the first day back at work went OK
:jknithappens - fingers crossed for today as well
:jkatenut - hope spendy day today wasn’t too bad, glad you like the prizes
:jBigMumma - don’t worry we’ll come and find you, the place isn’t the same without you. Thanks for the links - some great ideas there
:jchris81418 - 6 in a row added to the front page now - good luck
:jwebitha - oh dear, sorry about the ‘flu, hope you feel better soon
:jLooloo - sorry you’re feeling poorly, hope you’re on the mend soon
:jhoney - oh no, another one feeling poorly, sorry, glad you like the prizes though, hope they cheered you up a bit
:jgreent - hope you managed to wait until after midnight for your present shopping
:jifwishes - glad you managed to avoid the distraction of chocolate when walking doglets
:jashbash11 - hope today’s spendy day isn’t too serious
:jWelshWoofer - yay to your first official NSD - well done. Fingers crossed for tomorrow
:jKeiss 21 - like the organising of your craft stuff, it definitely helps. Still waiting patiently for the piccies. Yum.. fajitas
:jdmb - and fingers crossed for tomorrow as well, keep going
:jbeanielou - hope you get your codes for the cards - have you tried posting on the regional board?
:jwendall - well done for getting out of A$d@ without spending, quite an achivement and your first official NSD - yay
:jcw18 - very energetic day today by the sounds of it
:jkarma-chi - yay, great start, keep going
:jBlimusOreilly - and for you as well
:jBDINI - up and running is definitely good. Maybe try and relax a bit at work - if he senses you’re on edge, he’ll be looking for an opportunity to pick. If you stay chilled, polite and pleasant, he may just leave you alone - it’s certainly worth a try, I think, if only for your peace of mind. Thinking about you xx
:jXandersmum - definite result with the peppers - that’s what NSDs are all about, making use of what you already have
:jlittlepinkstars44 - yay, great start, keep going

And well done for no 2 today - flying start for you all:
:jregan.lottie - liking the positive attitude, you’ll do well if you keep that up
:jelfen - great start for you, keep it up
:jslowlyfading - and for you as well, keep going
:jSurfbabe - and for you, great start
:jkerri gt - happy brewing.... wow.. you’ve done loads
:jTizerCat - great start for you as well
:jconf - oh dear, sorry about your head, hope you’re OK ((((hugs))))

Hello to:
Southern Sadie - fingers crossed for today
elf06 - plenty of possible NSDs left, don’t lose heart
loveGSDs - oh dear, the lure of the golden arches
candyapple - oh dear to being grabbed by Tatco. Hope the jabs tomorrow don’t leave you feeling too carp
Nargle - oh dear to your singing chickens and fat ladies in the woods deserting you today and fingers crossed for Thursday, Gladys - Cheryl has the wet kipper all prepared

No NSD for me today, like candyapple I managed to be grabbed by Tatco - not a pleasant experience. Should be no 2 tomorrow though.

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

Good morning all -

Number 2 in the bag for yesterday!

Had a wonderful time last night at Mr Barrowman's show. Three hours of pure entertainment, that lad can SING!
He also had the girl who won "Nancy" on singing with him - she was great, plus his Mum and Dad came on and did a wee dance. It was the last show of his tour and with it ending up in Scotland, well, he just went for it with the Scottish accent etc! Great fun - he's very funny and naughty! So, a good night altogether. My Mum loved it - 79 years old and bopping away like a young 'un! Priceless!:rotfl:

Anyhoo - back to reality today, work beckons!
Going for number three today, got my soup and yogurt packed for lunch and the weather is horrid so I wont be going out at lunchtime!

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Hiya!

1st NSD Yesterday! woohoo! I have meal planned up until the 14th of November. I will have to pick up a few bits at the end of the week, but hopefully I won't part with too much cash. I am attempting to use up everything in the freezer before I buy more. Today is soup and HM garlic bread, and HM rice pudding for afters. Well done everybody.

No 2 - has have lunch and supper!

Feeling much better now! I slept with two cushions beneath me and it has done my side the world of good.

Going for blood test tomorrow but sure it will be all ok

Hope everyone is well!

I know this isn't really the the place..... but has anyone got a good receipe for Moussaka? the Ex Mr Loo used to make it but I would like to treat the "current" (hahah and ONLY) Mr Looloo to it soon.

thanks
