    Still on no 17 here, Tatco shopping today, but I should get to my target tomorrow, fingers crossed!!
    You're doing really well with the NSD count yourself :T
    Fingers crossed you make it to target tomorrow :)

    I've still got my shop to do before close of business on Sunday..... I keep putting it off while I 'find' things I need to buy :o

    My on-line basket is now pennies over £38 (suddenly realised on Sunday it would be a good opportunity to get the Easter Eggs in, as that adds on quite a bit - eggs or chocolate for 7 at around £1.25 each - and means I won't forget, or have to rush out for them, closer to the day.... just need to be sure I remember where I 'hide' them in the meantime ;))

    but I still have to find a few other bits, as I need to spend £40 if I'm going to use my £6 off voucher (and £50 if I want the petrol till-spit - though I'm not sure whether that's £50 before or after using my £6 off, and I'm certainly not going to get up to a £56 shop!). plus I normally take a 'back up list' with me as well, just in case some items are out of stock, so need to get that one sorted too ;)

    Lots of ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) for katholicas and elfin :kisses3:

    Phew - I'm kernackered as I just had to catch up on 7 pages which took some doing - anyway, updating to NSD NUMBER 12

    Monday and Tuesday were spend days :mad: but, despite needing to buy 3 new retractable dog leads, today was an NSD as I got them from Argo$ and used my Nec!ar points to buy them - not only that but they were reduced from £12.99 to £3.99 so I was well pleased and so are doggies :j

    Hoping for another NSD tomorrow, which still leaves me 2 to find in 4 days, which I will do ........ won't I :eek:

    Hi everyone
    I've been thinking (dangerous sometimes) and I've decided I need bit of a break from running the challenge. My job is really busy at the moment and, with everything else, it's all getting a bit much, tbh.

    Just wondering if anyone would like to take over for March. I'd be happy to help if needed but I'd like to hand it over for a month to give me a break.

    Hope this is OK.

    Thanks a lot

    Have been absent for a wee while as Dad passed away on Sunday evening. I haven't been adding up the NSD's but as there is so much to 'so' at this time, i have not been spending. I think i am up to about 15 NSD's at least though. I'm trying to keep things as 'normal' as i can, trying to keep myself focussed so i don't go totally insane with grief, hence why i am logging in to the site. Will update siggy shortly.

    So sorry to hear your news ((((hugs)))) and remember were all here for you:)

    Good morning everyone!

    #14 in the bag for yesterday! Should get another today as I am confined to barracks today. Bertha is in for her MOT and service (positive thoughts being sent as we speak!) so providing the bill is no higher than the amount I've budgeted, I'll be having a NSD!
    Window cleaner and Ringtons due today, but the money is in the jar for those.:)
    I'm actually looking forward to having a "pottering" day. This week at work has been very trying and I was glad to get out of there last night. I had a " chat" with them yesterday and got a few things straightened out. I only have anothe 5 weeks of this secondment to go and then I will revert back to my own team and hours. I will have to tell them on Monday that I've changed my mind about makiing the 3 days a permanent arrangement and I'm dreading that, but my health/happiness/home life comes first!;)

    Have a lovely day everyone:)

    Oh my.................I've just realised I havent been on here for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages :o I've been a bit caught up with my jewellery. Havent caught up yet (theres about 11 pages I think) but shall do in a moment.

    This is going to be a bit of a marathon - I can remember what days I've spent in shops but trying to remember what was spent/not spent online could be a bit harder :rotfl:

    Ok so declared number 10 on 17th

    [STRIKE]18th[/STRIKE], 19th, 20th and 21st were all NSD's
    21st I believe was a NSD aswell
    22nd and 23rd were both spendy days so I am pleased to report

    [STRIKE]
    15 NSD's for Feb
    [/STRIKE] 14 NSD's for feb

    Oh well after thinking about it again the 18th was actually a spendy day but hey ho - dont think I'll be getting any more in but I'll just have to wait and see
    Emma :dance:

    Aww Spoon, it would be strange without you but I can totally understand why you'd need a break! Wish I had time to do it but sometimes I can't get on here for days xx

    Hugs to Katholicos and Elfen xx

    Number 11 for me yesterday and should be 12 today. I won't make target as I've 'got' to spend on Saturday (girly night out, not missing that!) but I should make it to 15 xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
