Thanks for the warm welcome! I just have a quick question:
Do we report back each day that we have a NSD, or add it all up at the end of the month?
Sorry if thats a silly question.
Thanks,

Eh-O ...have you been fitted for your strait-jacket yet, or have you been lucky enough to avoid Mistress Spoon? Not saying we are all but some are more obviously so than others

To answer your question, most of us find it helps to report in daily; I do usually but I've been spending time with me muvva whose been a bit fragile with one bug or another It helps to concentrate the mind if you are able to pop in every day, particularly at the beginning. Any way you choose to do it tho is fine & Good Luck. Give us a shout whenever you're passing..

On my honour, I was only thinking of you t'other day LfV & wondering where you & Pure Dead Dopey had got to Now it seems Cheryl's gone awol too:( but it's lovely to have you back

I've another two to add on my total bringing it up to 6, but today I had to replenish the bread bin at home. Un/fortunately we were in the supermarket at the right/wrong time & I snaffled a fair few whoopsies in the bread aisle especially. Plus, because I was home so late this afternoon, I succumbed to frozen roasties & yorkies Ah well..Mum is feeling brighter & really, that's all that matters...

Speak for yourself BigMumma....I'm as sane as they come ....honestly....oh hello doc, time for my medication you say??? :rotfl::rotfl:

You're quite right, haven't seen Pure Dead Dopey for a while, and it's very unlike Cheryl not to post - hope you're both ok :grouphug:

Glad muvva is on the mend BMF, i've missed your daily dose of [STRIKE]lunacy[/STRIKE] intellectual conversation!! :rotfl:

Number 5 today :j

Decided to have a major clean of my mucky house so didn't bother to change out of my pj's - well they needed a wash & figured it saved dirtying another set of clothes (ok just call me lazy!!) Fantastic way for a NSD cos i do draw the line at going out in my nightwear :eek:

But :mad: to the fact that the belt snapped in my hoover, so i ended up finishing the lounge carpet on my hands & knees with a dustpan!

Is it really Monday again tomorrow? This weekend has just gone soooo quickly

Me too! It's totally addictive & I've been trying to quit. I did a rough calc and figured I spend around £500/year on it so need to get it stopped. Any suggestions welcome!

A spendy for me today, but a frustrating one- I went to the petrol station ONLY to get a couple of cans of Diet Coke :mad:- I really am addicted to the stuff and have been for years. I know it's really bad for me, and I hate to think of how much I spend on it in a year. I don't really drink anything else (except some water and also fruit juice with breakfast). Need to do something about it....

Anyway, Asda shop coming tomorrow, which is budgeted for, so assuming I don't spend anything else, should have a NSD.:cool:

Me three, I buy about 3 or 4 big bottles a week.:eek::eek::eek: Mind you that's about half what I used to drink and I have gone over to caffeine free and that helps me sleep better. Maybe we should have a diet coke free thread.

Well done to all! I've managed to spend money like water this weekend, but I now have a full fridge and a washing up bowl full of veggies for the week so I should manage at least 3 NSD's this week. Fingers crossed!!

hannah:-)_2

Doh! Another spendy day for me

Needed to get some paint for decorating, so not a splurge tho. And while in the shop managed to get wallpaper for the next room on the list with 60% off, so not all bad

Will be another spendy day tomorrow as I'm catching up with friends. Nothing too extravagant, but am starting to wonder if I'll fit enought NSDs in this month

I don't drink a lot of coke/diet coke, but I can tuck away an alarming number of cups of tea a day - it's not unusual that I get into double figures :eek: The worring thing is that I have noticed sometimes I get splitting headaches and think that this could actually be from lack of caffeine - do any of you guys suffer in the same way? I've had three such headaches Wed - Fri afternoons this week - same time each day which has got me wondering whether I should try to cut down? (also wondering if it is eye strain from the computer but I don't feel any pain/headache around my eyes at all)

May I join half way through? I would like to start on Tuesday 11th (as tomorrow I have the groceries shopping!), I will try to do 7 in a row out of 20 possible for January. Depending of how I do (it is my first time) I will keep that target or increase it.
