    Good morning all!

    Up very early today - woke up and couldnt get back to sleep, so up for a cuppa and a rich tea;)!

    Clocked up another NSD ( #4) yesterday as I didnt go anywhere. I just enjoyed the peace of my own house and did a bit of housework and then got on with my knitting. I think keeping things as "routine" as possible is the best way.
    Anyhoo, today I'm going to the hospital again to see my Aunt. She's still in getting treatment for her skin - that's two weeks. I'm going with my Mum and I'm looking forward to having a good old blether with them both. Should be another NSD today as only bus fares required and they will be taken from the fares jar;)

    Enjoyed catching up with you all - Kerri that was a mad afternoon, but very funny to read about, and Emma glad your wee boy is being so good with his specs!

    Thanks for all your posts - you warm my heart:A

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Yesterday was number 3

    Stayed home, catching up on letter write up with Lords of the Rings in the background, competitions and MSE.
    Need to pop to the shops for food (no fruit in the house + need to sort out a few meals for the week so I do not have to pop out again).

    Pondering on the £5 voucher from boots, got 2 left, I don't need anything but do I want to buy something for the stash (besides I am on the No Toiletries buying thread for Nov). I may run out of nail cream within 1 or 2 months thus I am thinking it is worth buying it now rather than later as long as I do not fall in the temptation like last time where I came back with 3 nail colour instead of one. I'll update later.

    Have a great sunday
    MFW on your mark
  • Finally number 1 for me today. It has been so hard trying not to spend, as I have had lots of birthdays this month and last, and also picking up bargains as I see them for Christmas presents.

    Just committed myself to my next course of my masters with the OU starting next may. I'd taken a year out to try and shift some of this debt and also reclaim my sanity. Just another 3 years and I'll have it.:eek:


    M&S £2878.22/ Natwest £3526/ Loan £405/ [STRIKE]Sofa £0[/STRIKE]/ [STRIKE]Ring £0[/STRIKE]/
    Savings £12.04
    NSD 3/10 :cool:
    Total £6915.88

    Morning All NSD number 2 yesterday.

    Fireworks were gruesome last night. 3 Miserable dogs. Hooray for when the rain started. (yes I know totally selfish but so was the kind soul that let some off mid afternoon whilst I and many others were out with our dogs. 2 of them just bolted for home and although they stopped when called were too frightened to wait for me)

    A spending day today I am afraid Aghhhh!!

    Hi folks,

    I've had a few expensive days with car parts etc, but have so far managed 3 nsds, which will hopefully become 4 as I don't intend spending anything today!

    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!
  • Morning all,

    I'm stuck in bed with a cold, so hopefully today will be another NSD for me.
    I think January will be a good month for wiggling - I am leaving the country on Feb 1st for a year (at least) and what better way to celebrate than a month of wiggling beforehand.:D

    I'll check in later to let you know if I manage a NSD today

    Each jar is officially 2 servings - though I reckon I'll get 3 from each

    So that's 33 meals - which, if I have a pasta based meal for lunch every other day, means they'll last about 66 days. So just short of 10 weeks.

    And that means they won't actually be around for long ;)
