    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING lovely peeps :)
    Well yesterday was going to be a spendy day but all I needed immediately was some milk so mu mum picked that up for me meaning that yesterday was a NSD - ok so it was a Jan one but still one I wasnt expecting. I'm going to keep a tally of my 'achievements' so I can judge my targets for next year (Hehehehe you aint getting rid of me anytime soon evilgrin0044.gif)
    Anyway today will be a spendy day which isnt quite how I want to start the month but it IS only the first so plenty time to get them in.

    Lol (can't post smilies at work!)


    Since starting back at full time work I'm finding it very difficult to organise my spending/life in general so really need to get sorted this month. Will go for my usual target of 18 NSDs for February.

    Hugs all round. I think of you all even when I'm not posting.

  • Hi :)

    My first time at this, and I only joined the DFW board last month, so still in the foothills. Can I put myself down for 8 NSD, please? I'd love to say more, but I'm being realistic here :)

    Ta!

    Too late, spotted it:rotfl:

    Blimus, we don't "fail" on this challenge, other things conspire against us, or we "don't quite get there". This isn't a race, so there are no failures here. However many NSDs you managed to get in January are an achievement, so be proud of them.

    Welcome back, will sign you up for 10 this evening when I do the update. If you're having a bad time, come back and see us, we'll gie you loads of encouragement.

    Take care

    It's brilliant, I'm sure you'll love it. Not sure who's in it at the moment but I saw it with Jason Donovan, it was great!!
    Enjoy xx

    Hi kevstanley and welcome, good to have you on board

    You can indeed put yourself down for 8 NSDs, I'll sign you up later when I do the update. Very wise to start off slowly, you can build up from there.

    Feel free to join in with the chat and general nonsense on here, we're very friendly and if you need any advice or a general kick up the bum, we can help there as well:D

    Good luck

  • No NSD for me today:o - not a good start for Feb! Got to post a parcel and get some bread/milk and a couple of other things. Hopefully, though, that will be me for the next few days.

    I can only have 8 spendy days this month if I'm to reach my target:eek:

    Right - in an effort to curb my exuse and clothing spending I have decided that I am going to list out the only clothes I am allowed to purchase for the next couple of months (ideally before our holiday in May), this consists of bra (there is a reason behind that as its one from the US and I want a friend to bring it with them in March when I see them), bikini (possibly) and some leggings as mine are going a bit see through - apart from that nada - zilch - nothing....now that should help me save some pennies...I hope....perhaps I should join the crazy clothes challenge
