    Good morning NSD gang!

    Officially declaring #5 for yesterday, I'm getting there!

    Just been catching up with you all. We are all doing pretty well for the first week of the New Year!:T Well done Kerri on winning the supervisor face off,:j you were quite right. Sometimes shops expect us to accept anything they say! Hope the Shepherds pie turned out ok - sounded good!
    Nicca and Lilylass - thanks for the tips re Aveeno. I have used it with no probs, but atm my skin is very broken, so anything, no matter how gentle,makes it sting like the blazes. However, I had no idea you could get it on prescription, so I will investigate that, thanks for the tip:T

    Not much planned for today, although I will have to go for a little food shop. I need some basics to complete my meal plan for next week, plus milk.
    I start my 3 day week tomorrow, havent worked a Monday for years, so it will be a shock to the system, but good for the bank balance;)
    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    today will make NSD 7

    Got a tesco delivery due today but will count it as a spend day when it comes out of my account
    Have a Bsc Hons open degree from the Open University 2015 :j:D:eek::T
  • So today will hopefully be my first NSD, no plans to go anywhere and lots of things to do at home so I should be alright...im a sucker for buying things I would never normally buy though from special offer emails from various companies...they send so many!! Im in the process of trying to unsubscribe from them all to try and stop this happening!

    I listed a few dvds on Ebay last night,one of which has already sold so I will have to go to the post office tomorrow, but the question is if I cant find the envelopes I bought for this very purpose a couple of years ago (I have a feeling I may have thrown them out...!) and I need to buy one, can I still count it as an NSD? Technically I will have made some money...I found a whole pile of large letter stamps im my old wallet which I thought I had lost last night whilst de cluttering my wardrobe, so I wont have to pay to post it, just for the envelope!

  • NSD yesterday, spent most of the day tidying up for my mum coming over for lunch (which she bought - there is a such a thing as free lunch I knew it :D)

    I'm counting today early, we're off to OH's parents for lunch (another freebie) and drinkies and footie watching. So my purse won't be leaving the house.

    So I'm on NSD 6 :)

    Hope you all have a fab Sunday. xx
  • Morning all

    I'm an indoors Pilsbury today so I'm claiming NSD 6 :j

    This week coming up should be a good NSD one - with luck and a following wind, I should be able to have a NSD every working day next week:D.

    Have a good day all
