:wave:

I made 15 today and have met my target with two days to go May still get another one or two - I have to go out to a party with DD tomorrow and can't remember if there are coffee facilities there - if not it will def be an NSD and more than likely Monday will too, but am not counting my eggs yet

Just happy to have met my target.

Thanks to everyone on the thread for the motivation - especially Spoon :kisses3:

ETA - number 15 was for yesterday - Just noticed the time :rotfl:

I am a newbie DFW & this was my first month doing NSD & I have found it more helpful than I thought it could be! Alongside working on my SOA & cashflow forecast over the last month, it has really helped me realise just how much I was spending on rubbish in the past! Your encouragement ~ Spoony and the others on this thread ~ has been brilliant & really keeps me motivated. I've come across many forums where newbies are ignored & not treated as well as regulars / long timers, so it's lovely to feel included & encouraged as much as the rest. I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel & a debt-free date sooner than I had hoped (credit card debt at least!) - all based on keeping to a low discretionary spend via NSDs.

So a long winded way of saying, thank you all!

Hi holidayaholic
I'm really pleased you feel that way. I've always tried very hard to include all the newbies and make everyone feel welcome here, as have all of the "oldies", it's great to hear that you feel welcome and included:T:T and even better to hear that your DFD is being brought forward:T:T

Glad you have this sorted out now Spoony, and well done Bdini for taking over p.s. I remember you taking over just after I joined 'to help out' and that was a while ago now I would have loved to have helped and, prior to October, I would have jumped straight in with my offer, but these days, 'jet-setting' up and down to the country , taking care of my friend/neighbour after her near suicide and then broken knee, as well as dealing with our debt problems, I find myself spread too thin as it is

Please don't worry, 3Dogs, I wouldn't have expected you to volunteer, you have more than enough on your plate at the moment.
Take care of yourself x

Three days and counting to the NSD St Davids day bash - bad news is, Igor has got wind of our plans. (All right, Igor, don't go on so, you can come if you like! What's that you said? You'll bring the picnic for us all? Including your very own secret recipe Leek and Daffodil Surprise Cheesy Chocolate Chip Fudge cake? oh please don't.)

Oooh.. that sounds scrummy Nargle... or maybe not:eek:
Where are we off to for our bash, shall I just point the tardis in the vague direction of Wales and hope for the best.....:D

This is what I'll be doing tonight - though I'm aiming to be the one on the left as I've got work in the morning! I have a strategic drinking plan in place, fingers crossed I can remain sensible......

As opposed to "insensible" I take it, kate:D
Hope you had a lovely time:)
