  • Hi all! Well everyone is doing terribly well, no? I feel dreadful. I've managed 3 NSD's so far which is dreadful,

    That's not dreadful Nym, it's 3 more than you would have had if you hadn't been concentrating on not spending, & it's 3 days with no money in the shopkeepers pockets.... big pat on the back for you me thinks!! :T

    Not a NSD for me, succumbed to some Lemsip (well tatco's own, the branded stuff is just sooooo expensive :eek:), after the ones i borrowed off a girl at work really seemed to help. Have set £5 to one side now for milk or extra lemsips only with the intention of not spending until Monday, which i know will be spendy, so please Mistress Spoon may i set a challenge of 4 in a row please?

    Hi everyone,

  • Morning!

    No number 5 for me today unfortunately, as I have to pay for my beeswax and almond oil on ebay- I will have some fab lipbalm by the weekend though (hopefully)

    :)

    Oh, could you post up the recipe for lip balm?

    Hello everyone! :wave:

    Just quickly checking in to report that yesterday was NSD number 7 for me! Woohoo! I should catch another one today chicken1.gif, but I wont count my chickens just yet! :rotfl:

    I like the counting your chickens analogy - I often feel that way about NSDs. But not today! No. 4 in the bag! :T:T

    Number 4/12!

    Mr Lotti bought my diet coke this evening, and we weren't in much of a fit state to brave shopping for anything today after our party last night, so no spendy spends for me today! :D

    Hi all! Well everyone is doing terribly well, no? I feel dreadful. I've managed 3 NSD's so far which is dreadful.

    Onwards and upwards. I have a child free weekend coming up so will try and get all food in tomorrow and then tot up my NSD's for the next 4 or 5 days. It's suddenly become rather tight this month! But I am sticking with 15... :)
    That's not dreadful Nym, it's 3 more than you would have had if you hadn't been concentrating on not spending, & it's 3 days with no money in the shopkeepers pockets.... big pat on the back for you me thinks!! :T

    Well said, BDINI, couldn't have put it better myself.

    Nothing wrong with 3 NSDs out of 9, Nym, that's one out of three and its pretty good going (and certainly not dreadful). Definitely a big pat on the back for you, chin up, you'll get there,

    Spoony you are so right on taking lunch to work being such a money saver. No temptation and what is going on with the price of drinks!!! Found infusion bags and taking them as well. Save a huge amount on my car renewal this week (nearly £200!). Not a bad MSE start

    Number 3 today.

    Glad it's helping, karom, and as for drinks, their prices are going the same way as everything else - up:eek::eek:.

    Well done on the savings on the car insurance as well, sounds good!!

    You're doing great, keep the momentum going now!
