    Hi All,

    NSD no 13 for me today - Yay :D

    And that makes it 5 in a row - Yay again :D

    Close run thing though, couldn't find one of the ingredients for the meal on the planner, then didn't really fancy the next choice so was wavering towards ringing a take away, I'd even got as far as digging out the menu :o but managed to resist at the last minute :p

    Really enjoyed the tuna pasta bake in the end so glad I stood firm in the end.
    Debt Free since Nov 11 (ish) (except the £118000 mortgage :o) as at Jan 2013 but still hanging around DFW as I need to Stay On Track.

    I just havent got the energy to argue with him TBH :(

    Oh dear, Beanielou - I hope you feel a bit more perky soon.

    I've been feeling a little low & struggling on the motivation front too lately - I'm planning to join a few challenges next month & just trying to get some get up & go by the end of the month. At least keeping with the NSD challenge has stopped me frittering away my money as I usually do when I'm feeling low.;)

    I've got most of next week off, so will try & recharge my batteries a little in readiness for March... :T

    Number 11 today :j

    Stuck to the mealplan and didn't succumb to buying a Friday treat. Came home and went straight out for a run and then made a stirfry for tea and didn't call in at the chipshop - phew!

    Think tomorrow will be a spend day as will be getting fruit for work next week and some other bits and bobs

    Beanie - Hope you're feeling yourself again soon xx

    Nargle - I think I'll join you on the 'trier' front. Hugs to you too.

    And more hugs to Holidayaholic too. xxx

    It's odd, I think a lot of us have had ups and downs this month, perhaps it's the post christmas / pre spring blues - or perhaps we all have a bit of a mental block as there are a few less days in this month (which is crazy as it's only 2 -3 depending if you couldn't 30 or 31 days).

    I'm working to the proviso that if I don't quite make target this month, it will give me a right boot up the jacksie to behave better next month :T

  • NSD # 11 for me today! So here's my Friday wiggle... hawaii-dance-083.gif

    Managed to resist the temptation of shops in town by catching the last work bus at lunch, so I only had 10 minutes before the last return journey to dash to the library & return my books, and to run to the post office to send my ebay parcel. Luckily there was no queue (a minor miracle :eek:) so made it back in time for the bus - phew!:p Certainly no time for browsing!:rotfl:

  • NSD #8 today, I almost caved in at lunchtime but I envisioned my leftover money going into my Sealed Pot instead of going on a hot chocolate and I decided I could live without :)
    Thank you competition posters!

    and today makes NSD #9 :T

    Have a distinct feeling tomorrow is unlikely to be an NSD though....
    I'm pretty sure my £6 off a £40 spend at Mr T runs out on Sunday - and as I've hopefully got a visitor from last morning/early afternoon tomorrow until around 2pm Sunday, it looks like my only chance to use it will be early tomorrow (if I can actually find £40 of stuff I need/can use/have storage for while compiling a shopping list on their website)..... and I've got several hours of h/work to do first, as it's been sadly neglected with the extra hours I've been working the last 3 weeks

  • A spendy day for me.

    Needed to get some cat food and dog food, but was :D as Mr T have a 3 for 2 on at the moment, so I stocked up. Mind you, with 4 cats and 4 dogs, it never seems to last very long! :eek:

    Went to the docs and had to shell out £7.20 for antibiotics as I've got tonsillitis :( Ah well, hopefully now I've got the antibiotics I'll start to feel better soon. :)

    And finished the day off getting fuel ready for tomorrow as we go on holiday to a cottage in Yorkshire. Can't wait :j
