bexs.ua – at least you bought sensible things that you need & will use… sometimes it just has to be done!!

Nargleblast – go on then, you‘ve done so well I’ll let you have a paintbrush free spendy day!! :rotfl:

floella80 – welcome to the NSD challenge, if you want to have a go this month just let me know your target, or have a try without a target, or just join in with the general chat, we’re a very friendly (if slightly insane) bunch!!

bottleofred – grrr to having to get diesel but it is an essential!!

brummiebabe – well done for not spending much when you did spend, & good luck for tomorrow!!

slowlyfading – you’re doing really well slowly, & you’ll be back on track soon I’m sure!

muffin man 7 – sounds like a good plan to use stuff up before you restock, some of the things languishing in the back of my cupboards will definitely make you go :eek:!!

& 2 more for me (put last night's pub money to one side at the weekend as i had to rescue one from somewhere!! but was very good & spent just under £6 as usual), am hoping not to spend now until i go home Friday for a visit, when i know my mother will fleece me for fancy cocktails!! :eek:

P.S. Not seen you for a few days Spoon, hope you're ok????

NSD #7 for me today. This month seems to be going OK, though I would really like to nearly be at my target before the Easter break. Not sure that will be possible, but I'll give it a good go.

An LSD for me today, had to go to the post office to post a couple of eBay items, and ended up buying chocolate!!! Some of it was for DGD though.
It is something I need to stop, because I usually end up going to the PO a few times a week. It's not good on the diet either!

A spendy for me today- had T*sco shop delivered, which means that I have stocked up for the first time in a while and should be able to avoid those little trips to S*insburys that always end up costing lots.

Hoping for a NSD tomorrow- am going to meet a friend for a drink, but have put that money aside ready today

Good Morning NSD 6 today. Spendy day yesterday as i couldn't resist the lure of the supermarket had to get nappies for DD2 but the chocolate was calling me. Got a week off work next week so i am counting down the days:j haven't had a holiday since december so it is much needed wouldn't be much of a holiday as i plan to catch up with stuff at home and i have DD's with me so

Oh dear, another spend day yesterday, was doing so well till about 530 then OH called to say we needed fresh salad for tea, that resulted in me going to Morrisons for salad leafs, cucumber, spring onions, and 10 other items I didn't need.

Can't believe I've only clocked up 1 so far, bad times. Must try harder!!

Any tips??? xxxxx

Yesterday was NSD #6 for me - which takes me half way to target less than half way through the month

Hoping for another today, but suspect window cleaner will be here for paying tomorrow or Friday (which will lose me one) and still hoping to be out again on Saturday (having told chap it's my turn to pay next time) - so not going to collect as many more this week as I might have liked to.

EDIT : In other news......
The first chap I met has gone very quiet on me (after I phoned him when he was having tea with a female friend prior to going to a pub quiz night - and I didn't know he wasn't home alone, so the call wasn't planned to cause trouble or check-up on him)
It looks like I'm not going to get to meet the one I've not yet met with - his shift pattern just doesn't seem to fall so that we can manage a meet in a public place in daylight hours.
But I'm still in daily contact with the one I went bowling with, and he was impressed this morning when I said I'd spent last night batch cooking bolognese, chille and cottage pie for the freezer

Thanks for the back up BDINI!! Still makes me cross when I could have waited until today and got another NSD!:rotfl::rotfl: Typical Saggitarius I suppose - act now and regret it later!!

Anyway today is definately a spendy day, I was prepared for that as I have to go to the market and get some cleaning things for work and no doubt pick up some things for me :o

BUT.... I am also claiming a NSD for yesterday :j:j:j I even waited until today to pay Holiday club at school so I could get it :rotfl: I think I'm finally getting the hang of this :T

NSD #4 for me!
