NSD no 6 for me today:j
I have done the weekly shop but don't count that as it's an essential - no plans to do anything for the rest of the day and we have everything we need so no more dosh is leaving my purse!

NSD # 6 for me today. I'm hoping for another tomorrow, but running low on some basics, so will have to see if I can eek (sp?) thing out.

Got off so a slow start but seem to be getting back on track.

thanks jintyb:beer:
I returned the items but 'lost' about £25 from my calculations because I forgot some of the bits were reduced a bit more than the invoice showed. Never mind! Wandered around looking for something to spend my credit note on, but no. Nothing. I've got until October to use it though:rotfl:.
Returned the Next bits and the Clarks shoes and the Boots bits. Even went to T to return 2 items to the direct desk and managed to walk out without buying any snacks (though craving like mad for doritos and dip - enough to decide to walk there later...:eek:).
If I can keep it up it's a NSD for me and the first time I can remember that I've gone to shops without buying somehting!:j Not listing it officially yet in case I can't fight the temptation. It's gonna be a long and dark afternoon...

Gosh, well done CATS, stay strong m'dear!:T
I was sidetracked on the way to Water%ones. I had to go through Deben£ams to get there and I took a rush of blood to the head and decided to have my eyebrows threaded. Never had it done before, but doing my own has become a challenge due to eyesight not being what it was.
Well, what a difference, they look fantastic and I feel great! :T I am having a bit of an " I feel my age" day today, so I decided to treat myself to a good moisturiser ( one I used to use in my CC days;)) so I had a good trawl online and got a good price for it IMO!

SO:

I'm wrestling with myself re NSD - is it or isnt it?
this is the scenario:
Credit:

Waterstones £12, Amazon sales £11, Mystery Shop Money £23
Total £46

Debit:
Eyebrow threading £14, purchase of posh moisturiser on €bay £26 ( RRP £49.50:eek:)
Total : £40

Net £6 cr

My issue is that the Amazon and Mystery Shop money is not physically in my account yet, but will be in the next few days.:think:

All opinions welcome as always:)

I'm studying English and Film; this term part of it is Shakespeare....and as it's not to be counted as it is educational, then I'm up to NSD no 10

Mmm. Just went to open my new digital camera that I bought recently to replace the one I've lost :eek:. Got a cheapo thing. Didn't say on website but it takes a MICRO SD card not the SD card the site said.
That means:
1. I can't take pics for things to sell on eBay until I get a micro card.
2. does that come out of a NSD or can I claim that it's part of the original purchase as it's a necessity:cool:?
3. I can go to my local T and see if they have any micro cards in and if they do buy one
4. Or number 3 plus I can buy a bag of doritos and a dip to make it worth the walk - especially if they have no micro cards...
dilemmas:(

Phone them to see if they have any in before taking the walk.
If they don't, then there's no 'alternative' temptation.
If they do, then it won't be a wasted walk - so still no need to cave to the alternative temptation

No NSD for me today, needed loo roll, bananas, and some lasagne sheets...but I did manage to get just what I needed and nothing else which was quite and achievement for me!
