NSD no 7 today & no 4 of 5 in a row.
Have coloured my hair at home for the first time ever using the new John Frieda foam which I thought was fab & so easy to use.
The colour is interesting shall we say.A reddy brown.
Cant get used to it when I look in the mirror & DS thinks its dire!!!Thanks for that vote of confidence then!!!
Beanie - we all think you're beautiful!;)

well, today should have been an NSD - and would have been had I not nipped back down to work (for non-spending reasons)
whilst there I couldn't resist checking the Whoopsies
saw some WW creme fraiche down to 9p, but decided I could do without it (I like it with vegetable soup, and have some soup in the house).
next I spotted a stunning 'deluxe bouquet', but stopped myself from picking it up in order to retain an NSD.
then I came across some 'superlife' bread down to 19p (short on bread), but convinced myself I could put my bread maker on tomorrow morning instead.
lastly I checked the butchers section, and decided I couldn't resist the piece of sirloin steak down from £2.78 to 99p - especially as I still have the Diane Sauce in my freezer which was supposed to go with the steak I used on Saturday
So I went back and picked up the bread, a couple of pots of the creme fraiche, and finally the flowers......
I'm not a "flowers person", but these are lovely and quite fragrant too (and reduced from £20 to £5). It's a mix of various cream/off-white flowers, and my house is terracotta and magnolia in almost all areas so they look FAB in my living room
Only 'problem' was that I had to improvise for a vase, as I haven't seen my big one in years...... so I dug a 4pt milk container out of my recycling bin, cut around it just below the top of the handle, and they're now residing in thatCheryl0 -
Squeezed an NSD today - #5 !
Had to pay some money over that I owed for my share of pal's birthday gift, but I knew about it so it was a planned spend.
Tomorrow wont be as I'm going for a pie n pint ( well, a soda) with a couple of the girls. We have a great pub near the office which does mega pies;)
Thursday should be as I'm donning the grubby mac and dark glasses to do a Mystery Shop:cool:
I feel the NSD's are a bit of a struggle this month, I have a bit of a " let's live for today" head on ATM.
I'll get myself in check I promise, cos I dont want to be slapped on the napper ( head) with the kippers.:rotfl:
Have a lovely evening all:)

NSD 4 for me today.DFW Nerd 941 Proud to be dealing with my debt

Another NSD for me so that takes my total up to 6 and I have also managed my first 5 in a row
tomorrow is the weekly grocery shop so it stops at 5.
For Spoon...
6 in total 5 in a row:j
Tomorrow will be a busy spendy day. Getting hair cut (1st time in ages I cut my own fringe but can't do the back and it's starting to look in need of it). Got my pilates class (£8 per week) and food shopping (with a list I made online using the online grocery shopping so I can work out the cheapest deals). Then I go in & stick to the list. Sometimes I go for online order and delivery but I figure if I go and buy I have saved £4.50 and sometimes buy a little treat0 -
NSD day number 5 for me:j0
