Out with the old, in with the new: the January NSD challenge

PerfectPeaches

Evening all

Apologies for yet another delay in my posting - I blame my brand new internet connection!

Racked up 3 NSDs and will hopefully have another one at least tomorrow if not on Monday

I have now reached my target of 16 :T

Thanks Spoon, i was gutted about the whole thing, but after realising how much support i do have (including you mad lot on here!), i've decided to just move on! All i have to do now is keep my head down & look forward to my new job while i wait for my references & criminal record check to come through
Sounds like you're week's not been to great either, really hope that you know we are all here if you need a rant & that you treat yourself to a chilled out weekend with plenty of you time!!

Well done BDINI. I always say that if you let someone like that affect you and the way you behave, then they've won, and you don't want to let them win, good for you:T
Fingers crossed your references etc come through quickly and you can move on.

Not been the best of weeks, tbh. Thanks, yes I do know that, I think I'd got past the ranting stage though:mad:, but all's calm again now in spoonworld:D I'm intending to have a very relaxing weekend with plenty of nice white wine to ease me through it:D

No NSD for me today, managed to avoid the grocery shopping as planned, but had a desperate need for black bags so i can finish off some DIY this weekend & have to confess to a bar of chocolate as well, but figured i was allowed a little celebration & at £1 it was much less than the massive shopping sprees i used to have to celebrate (or commiserate, or because i had woken up, or finished work..... you get the picture :rotfl:)

Unlike you with more DIY on the horizon - what are you planning to demolish this weekend?

You're definitely allowed a little (or, actually, a big) celebration:T:T

Take care

PS: and don't forget I have a list for you if you get bored anytime:D

Hello everyone:A
Just a quick catch up on some of today’s posts

jinty - £80 for a cat hair cut ..:eek:. Hope His Lordship is pleased with his new look. Hope you enjoyed your breakfast and glad OH is coping atm, (((((hugs))))) to you both.:A
Don’t worry, I’ll let you off with spending now so you’ll escape the kippers:D..

julytex - you should be pleased with yourself, 9 NSDs is definitely not to be sneezed at:T

DansMum - sorry DansDad is being difficult today, men are hopeless when they’re ill.:( I hope, for your peace of mind, that he’s better soon.
Glad you liked the wiggles and yes, feeling much better now, thanks x:A

cw18 - ooh, more whoopsies, come on, ‘fess up:D..

ifwishes - good to have you back, missed you:A

suzie wong - like the sound of you day, spendy but controlled, that’s the way to do it. Really pleased we’re helping you to make a difference, that’s good to hear:T

Looloo - sorry you’re going through a bad time, hope things get better for you soon. Thinking about you xx:A

Keiss - ahh.. cross stitching starting again, I’m looking forward to a picture of the finished Elegant Lady - I see you’ve moved the timescales back a bit;).. Glad you’re feeling better:T

Tropicalmoments - it’s surprising how, when you stop spending money somewhere, you realise how expensive everything is, I bet you bought lunch in your refectory fairly regularly before without even thinking about it. Just shows how much your thinking has changed. Hope you enjoyed your relaxing evening. Thanks, feeling much better now x :A

LittleMissHappy - you should be pleased with your first attempt, you’ve done brilliantly, well done!:T

beanie - don’t you be getting any more NSDs now, I’ve run out of prizes:rotfl:

Nym Mcfroglet - well done for meeting your target, not surprised you’re very happy. :T February challenge should be up and running over the weekend, I’ll post a link when it’s done

Decluttering - yes, you will.. good luck:D

Tixy - you now have a dancing smiley, hope you like it.

CommitedToChange - well done you, you have been very good indeed:T

kerri - glad you enjoyed the kipper last night. Oh dear... a dress... there might be another kipper coming your way soon:rotfl:

sf - thanks for the update and well done for no 20.. yay!!:T

Nargle - I missed your post yesterday about the kitty in your garden, that must be horrible. I’m not surprised your own got lots more cuddles, something like that brings everything home to you very sharply:(


Well done to everyone meeting their targets today, lots of prizes being awarded, including one for me as I’ve met my target today as well.:j

Front page all updated now so I’m off for a quick catch up on some other threads now.

See you all tomorrow

‘night all

I know its a very :eek: about the price of a cat hair cut, but the vet has to sedate him and its this bit that takes up the majority of the cost. In my defence, m'lud, he only needs done once every 18 mths as I try to keep on top of it myself. However, His Lordship is in the huff as they've given him a really bad do. Instead of combing out the matted bits, theyve shaved him and he looks a bit like a poodle - Im not best pleased but its done now and it WILL grow back;)

Good morning all!

Just been reading through the posts and my, havent we done well this month? Lots of brilliant targets met/ beaten/ smashed - I think we should all be well chuffed with ourselves!

Today should be a NSD. No plans to buy anything and we are going out for lunch with M&D. They are treating us - how nice is that?
OH's personal hairdresser is coming this morning to attend to his coiffe - only £7.50 for him as opposed to the £80 for the cat - it truly is a mad world!:rotfl:
Anyhoo - enough rambling from me

Have a lovely day everyone:)

suzie_wong

Hmmm.... only 3 days to go until the end of the month and I want 2 more NSDs :cool:

Need a couple of things that I hadn't realised we were short on (butter etc) so am thinking I might be 'too busy' to go into town, and DH will have to go instead!!
To be fair, I am working this morning and then have to take DS for his tennis lesson this afternoon, so I AM busy, honest guv'

Thursday nights haul included 2xblocks of mild cheddar (one 542g, one 596g) that should have been £5.19/kg for 19p a block....

But last nights was even better - over £15 of value chicken breast fillets for £1.47 :T Major game of freezer squeeze to be commenced here very shortly, as there are a total of 15 fillets to be repacked and put away
