Why are all the special offers on things I don't like/need? Or am I just being picky

Because that's how they get us to spend the extra pennies (or pounds) we weren't intending to! :mad: Down with those pesky money-swindling-supermarkets....

ps anyone else been watching The People's Supermarket on C4?

NSD #9 today for me! Half-way and on target

Going to be a planned spendy one tomorrow but will keep it as low as possible (food+petrol).

It's good to see so many people doing well!

Sniff - my TEN have not been put down

Oh dear, sorry Dragon :(:(:( I wasn't here last night (interwebby problems:mad:) and not sure if sf has picked up your 10, but don't worry, I'm going to do it right now and when you log on tomorrow you should have your 10 and your prize.

Have some of these:j:j:j:j as a consolation prize in the meantime and a huge WELL DONE for making your target :j:j:j:j:j

Don't cry too much Dragon,neither has mine. I'm sure someone will be along to sort us out soon.
11 NSD today. Please can I increase my target to 14 ?
Have done a rather large Mr.T order but as it's not coming until next Tuesday,Im not counting today as a spend today.

I've just been playing around with Spoony's first page. I was wondering how many no spending days we have all got together.

:T:T:TSo far we all have 351 NSD's in total:T:T

only 14 more days and we will have all spent nothing for a year (I'm sure the shops wont like us for this tee hee). I'm sure by the end of today we will have done that.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The way I'm adding them at the moment, kdenty, I think we'll be into February of the following year:rotfl:... I like the idea of keeping a total though... you've got me thinking now:D:D

Hi everyone:A
Missed you all yesterday, you’ve all been busy bagging lots more NSDs though, well done everyone:j:j

I’ve updated the front page with lots more NSDs:j - kdenty, feel free to do a recount if you’d like to;).



Two more targets tumbling as of Tuesday, well done to The Dragon :j:j:jand ilovetea:j:j:j, your prizes have been awarded now, hope you like them



Well done to everyone who has grabbed any NSDs over the past couple of days, you’re all doing very well:T:T:T:T (said in the style of old Mr Grace while waving my walking stick:D).


Quick catch up with some posts from Tuesday and today:

jinty - good news on your workload and even better news about your skin, that’s brilliant, really pleased to hear that:T

donna dynamo - hope you enjoyed Russell Howard, I like him, he’s very funny:)

Keiss 21 - how long did your soggy tomatoes last, I’m intrigued:D

lornz23 - I agree, it’s a great feeling when you get to your first 7 NSDs and realise that’s a whole week, what an achievement. Well done you:T

kerri - glad you’re feeling better, happy to send the kippers your way if you think they’d help?;)

nicca - good to see you back, albeit briefly, but great to see you doing so well, that’s brilliant!:T

chris - well done for you 6 in a row mark 2 - you have another little prizlet for that:T

Tropicalmoments - yay to nearly halfway, you can do it!:T

katenut - yay to halfway and hope you enjoy the week of freedom!!:T

2joanne - keep trying, you can do it!:T

holidayaholic - great bargains yesterday! Hope you enjoyed the Easter egg:)

dollybeads - welcome back, of course you can come back to join us, waifs and strays always welcome here. There is nothing wrong with 2 NSDs, for a start it’s 2 better than none and something to be proud of - and 3 is even better! :T
Chin up, pick yourself up and try to get as many as you can before the end of the month. We have some lovely slimy and smelly kippers to throw at you by way of encouragement;)

boultdj - we can’t have you being useless all day so you’re excused the milk:D

teenyweenyspender - good to see you back and glad you’re OK:T

Nargle - I agree with jinty, you should definitely write a blog:D

LittleMissHappy - glad you’re feeling better:T

beanie - hope you enjoyed the tea and scone and the yoga, of course;)


tattooed_lady - much better to set a lower target and make it than a higher one and not... if you’d like to set a second target once you’ve made your first we can do that (you get two prizes that way):)

ifwishes - I hate food shopping as well:eek:

BigMumma - great news about the car.:T Hope all goes well for your mum tomorrow

BDINI - hope you have a lovely evening:)


And some more NSDs to add to the total:

:j:j:jskaps - yay to no 10

:j:j:jfillyfop - yay to no 9, halfway is brilliant!


And I’m up to no 12 now:j, very happy with that!!

Front page all updated, loads of NSDs floating around. See you all tomorrow

‘night everyone

E-O Only one more to add to my total (so up to 11 now) as yesterday was a food shop & today the dreaded MOT *insert If's dramatic lightening icon here* BUT...drum roll perrrrrllleeeeeeeeessssseeee!

IT'S A PASS! :j

AND there's only one advisory for beginnings of corrosion but it is on a suspension coil, but hey! Can't have everything

Great news! If anything is guaranteed to get me up to high-do , it's putting cars in for MOT's. Our Bertha ( P-reg SAAB) is going in next week for hers, plus a service, so I'm praying/sending positive thoughts for a good ( inexpensive) outcome! Shes a great car, and was brill in the snow so I really want her not to have too much needing fixed!:)

Good morning folks!

At last my day off! The last few days have been really busy at work, so I'm glad to have some down time!
Got # NINE yesterday, so I'm delighted. Will be another today as I am not going to spend. I only have to collect a parcel from PO and bank a cheque. Have a bit of housework to do, then my sis is coming for a coffee and a long overdue catch-up.

Have a lovely day everyone!:)

Thanks Jinty! And I managed to lasso in that one yesterday, so I'm now up to 14 NSDs! However, I have some bits n bobs to sort out today, so it may well be a spend day.

Good luck with reigning in more NSDs everyone, and have a good day!

Well I spent again yesterday, could have sworn I had some more gravy granule's in the cupboard, but no.... sniff,sniff Can I smell kipper's?? :eek:There coming to get me!! cue me legging it out of the door being chased by a pair of kipper's.
