    :j:j Finally managed an NSD today so that's now 5. Tomorrow should be one too and the only spend I can see coming is diesel but I can hopefully stretch it to Thursday. It means I could manage 2 short of target which I'd be happy with as a start. Took advantage of Li*l mince offer, As*a dishwasher tab offer and Morris#ns washing liquid offer at the weekend so won't have to buy them again for months! :D Freezer is full so mainly just fresh top ups this month. Fingers crossed. Will declare a final total on Thursday. :)

    Another spendy today, for an annoying reason- we ran out of toothpaste :mad: No amount of twisting and squeezing was going to make it last another day.

    I have been known to cut the tube in half and scoop out what's left to make it last an extra day :o

    Well, a surprising NSD for me yesterday - prob should have stopped to get petrol as I was out at a workshop (prev paid for) but was too tired. So that's NSD #13 reached.

    Today was spendy but not too bad, got a double pack of party rings and 3 cans of Branst*n spaghetti letters in the £1-1p shop totalling £1.98. Then 8 cans of Branst*n beans on offer (2 packs for £2), some t-bags and a jar of beetroot (forgotten on Sat's shop) in Mr T. I had a £1.50(ish) price match voucher thingy so it came to just under £4.

    I did mean to pick up the other two Clinique items I wanted in B**ts too but I just got some Advantage vouchers through the post and left them on my blinkin' desk so that didn't happen.

    So...two more NSD out of three days needed to make target....and I need petrol which I can get a bit cheaper on Thurs but I prob need a bit before then too .... not sure how I'm going to do this.....

    Well, it looks like I will not reach my target this month but I still hope to make double figures so that's not so bad.

    I know it's a bit early but I am working later this week when this month ends and the next one starts, so can I aim for a cautious 10 NSDs for April, please?

    Today would have seen me hit my target ('cos I couldn't even think of checking Whoopsies as I left work, due to the fact I realised half-way into work I'd left my purse at home!), but I've just checked my bank and it was a D/Debit day :(

    But what I think are the last three for the month have all gone out today, which means all I've got to worry about is my personal spending for the rest of the month - and with that in mind I'm putting the money for the milk I absolutely need to pick up tomorrow (and can't go out for now as the stores have closed) to one side and counting it as a spend for today ;)


    And, as promised to Spoon, an update on other things....

    All three chaps are still emailing, and one has asked if it's too early for him to suggest we meet up. Work hours (his and mine) mean it's not really feasible until a week on Saturday, so on that basis I've said it's a possibility ;)

  • Hello everyone, just a quick visit to report No 10 yesterday and No 11 today!

    Can you tell it's the end of the month and I'm about out of money! - £7 in purse and really don't want to take more money out of the bank!

    I may just reach my target fingers crossed - keep going everyone, nearly there!
