Thanks SF for your assistance!:T Lovely to have you rounding us up so to speak!;)

Got # 3 today, and not only did I have all the lovely things earlier, but I also got "accosted" at lunchtime today by a lovely young man giving out promo chocolate and 241 vchrs for a restaurant.. Checked my email tonight to discover I have sold a DVD I had listed on Amazon.
So-
Result for today-
Prize draw vchr £10, survey vchr £6, €million win £7.40, Amazon sale £4 plus free choccy - not a bad haul really! I am delighted - just shows how a lot of small things really add up:j

SF - lovely of you to help our Spoony out :T

Jolaaled - When I started this challenge in Aug, I didn't necessarily find that I immediatly saved money - but it did make me think more about what I was spending on. Once I was doing that I found that actually some things I thought I needed, I could do without after I'd waited a day or so to couple them together with other items on a spendy day. And as BigMumma says....if you can't carry it, you can't buy it :rotfl:i have deff found that it takes longer than you'd think to change spending habits but stick with the challenge and it will pay off.

Well.... deff not a NSD for me today However I have managed to order all my OH's B'day gifts so that's those sorted - and my purse empty. Although.... got talked into buying a shaver in B**ts at 1/2 price with a money back guarantee...was all chuffed UNTIL I got home to a 10% off orders over £60 B**ts online voucher which I could have used :mad: Am thinking of ordering one online, then once it turns up, taking the store one back (unless the online one doesn't have the money back sticker...in which case I'll take that one back into store as the UPC codes should be the same) gosh...its the Argus matteress all over again :rotfl:

Did get OH an extra t-shirt that was unplanned, but I was going to get it for Xmas and they didn't have his size - it's just come back into stock so I thought what the heck as I was ordering something else from the website too. Deff gonna have to clock up the NSD's now as only moths are left in my purse until the end of the month.

Well managed another NSD today went to work then gym and swim, so that kept me out of trouble today.

Didn't manage one yesterday as was looking through the forums and stumbled across recipes for slow cookers - so guess what... Yes, I went and bought one, bargain at under £10 mind. loll

Number 3 NSD for me!

Today was another not-a-no-spend-day, a hot chocolate begged me to let it comfort me on my first day back at work.

How flippin annoying!
I would have thought the same T&c's would apply to all Boots purchases whether instore or online. I would do what you're thinking - 10% off is NOT to be ignored! :money: It's better in your pocket that B00ts :rotfl:

Sadly not a NSD today but it was at least a low spend day - had to get a birthday card to pop in the post tomorrow.
