    I've come to realise that there are many days when I only spend very small amounts (84p for crumpets or 50p on a bar of chocolate at Mr C etc) but not many when I manage to spend nothing at all mmmmmmm.

    Must try harder!

    Hope everyone's well, hugs for anyone who needs one (bit behind on all the posts).

    That was the exact reason I joined this challenge - to help me stop the £1/£2 spends I kept making every day. Not sure if it's helped my bank balance atm as I keep falling off the MSE wagon spending all my 'savings' from the challenge. :o Which also means it wasn't a NSD for me today - popped into Mr S at lunchtime to get milk, bread and some bits for sarnies and somehow came out £27 lighter :eek: £6 was on shampoo and conditioner though (big sizes on offer). Doubt tomorrow will be a NSD as I need my brows doing but hopefully the rest of the week may fare a little better.

    Thanks to everyone for your hugs and good wishes, still feeling a little blue today but I'm sure I'll get over it xx

    Evening all, them NSDs just keep on a-rollin' in....apart from mine, which tend to do a slow crawl, but, hey, at least I am now on 4 NSDs!!!!!

    Back last night from a lovely weekend away with family, including Saturday morning at Silverstone heckling OH as he drove a Land Rover up the hills and through the lakes on a 4 x 4 off road circuit (one of his birthday gifts from last year, an Experience voucher, which I sneakily redeemed!)

    Lors. That makes me worse! I start thinking about going back home or borrowing a pound off somebody... I don't understand it. I must have something wired wrong in me ;)

    Seeing as this is my 1st time I think I'm doing pretty well not sure the same can be said for the Feb Grocery challenge ;)
    Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...
