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

Decluttering

It wasn't a NSD for me today, I went shopping. I was good though, I only bought the things that I planned to buy!

OMG! I am having real issues trying to find OH an electric razor for his b'day - he say's he's not fussed on brand, just wants something to do the job and give a close shave but I really don't know what to get him. I like the look of the Braun Series 3 that is currently being advertised but its got mixed reviews....I know it's not NSD related but do any of you ladies have OH who use electric razors? I really need some advsie

NUMBER 2 for me today :T

Didn't find any taps yesterday (well i did but wasn't paying the ridiculous prices they were charging, even in the sales!), but did get 2 fabby lamps, with 50% off :j

Can't believe how much difference a year makes, this time last year i saw the sales as a treasure trove of bargains, now i see them as more junk that will only end up on the ebay pile!!
Feel so proud of myself that i have only bought household things in the sales, i had to have a new bath whatever, but instead of having to compromise on a really cheap suite i managed to get the bath i have always dreamed of with 65% off :j
Think i get it now, feel like my lightbulb is well & truly on!!

Right i shall stop being smug & go to bed now as back to work tomorrow :eek:

Spoon, please take care & shout if it gets too much & you need help!!!

You can tell a popular thread by how long it takes you to catch up - by that reckoning, this thread must be the most popular on the site :T

One of the most popular I would think, 3Dogs

Anyay, I'm reporting in with NSD NUMBERS 2 & 3 - 2 as on Sunday which is normally a spend day as I buy my fruit an veg at market/car bot but the 'fruity lady' was not there so I didn't get any - no 3 was today (Monday) as only been to slimming class and I set money aside on Friday for our class fees - having put weight on over christmas week, was very pleased to have lost 3 lbs this week :T :T

Well done, that's fantastic:T:T:T:T

- another suggestion to add to the list - what about if you update the first page only when people reach their targets and new targets? That would cut down a lot of work - especially if everyone kept a running tally in the signature - as others have said, we need to look after you and you need to look after yourself, so surely the less work for you the better - and the numbers posting on this thread just keep going up and up all the time :eek:

Thanks for that, am doing some thinking about this:A

You deserve to be smug, you did really well last year and deserve a huge pat on the back. Can't do that, so have a ((((((((((hug)))))))))) instead:D

I know I'm a little late to this, but can I join in?

I'd like to aim for 10 NSDs.

I've managed 3 so far!


(1-3 Jan didn't really go far and avoided the sales)

No more for me yet, moved my money into bank account "pots" for the month. But gives me an idea of what I have for the month (and fingers crossed how much I can save!)

Well sadly I think I'm in line for the kipper although please may I request river cobber instead as it is a nice cheap cut of fish and I suspect the kipper may be verging on the slimey side . Still stuck on 1 NSD with no signs of another any time soon (ok not strictly true as I think tomorrow should be one).

They are definitely more than a bit slimey now Emma:eek::eek::eek: and decidedly pongy:eek::eek::eek:. One look would put you off spending for life, never mind for January:D

Hi SuziQ1962, only if you've included them in your challenge, otherwise no, it wouldn't.

Well done, like the determined attitude, you can do it:T:T
