    Declaring today as NSD no 9 today,

    Been out in the garden weeding the front garden all morning. It was engulfed by weeds, but is looking so much better now. Still need to dig everything over properly, but then I will have somewhere to put the plants that I am moving from the back garden. :D

    My tooth (or rather where thay removed it!) is feeling much better now, thanks for asking Spoon.

    Just had a late lunch and having a bit of a rest before heading back out there...I am going to be sooo stiff tomorrow!!

    Have a great weekend everyone...hoping not to spend tomorrow ...but Monday is looking expensive (my haricut, trainers for DS1, meal
    out for all of us in the evening, not to mention food shop!! :eek:).

    Hopefully that will be the bulk of our spending next week...managed not to buy any easter eggs so far...not planning to either :A.

    Gor an unexpected NSD today and as I'm not going our tomorrow I'm going to claim one in advance for that too. So, that makes it 10 NSDs :j:j:j

    Got to target and can't believe it! I've decided not to set another target this month but I'm still going to hunt NSDs and will post if I get any (I should :D)

    Hi all...well hair is done but no NSD for me. Called T-Mobile back and the girl seems to think the charges were the mobile number I don't recognise calling me and then going through to my voicemail. Apparently if you're abroad and someone calls your voicemail you get charged for the person calling you, and the voicemail (so in this case £1.50 for the call, plus £1.50 for them going to voicemail :eek:) She agreed it was pretty ludicrous for the voicemail charges since they were all less than 15 seconds and judging by my other billing I never call my voicemail. She had to speak to someone else but basically they agreed to refund about 50% of the charges. I accepted as a) she had been the most helpful person I've spoken to b) after 4 calls I could see I wasn't going to get any further, had she been less helpful and polite though I would've taken it further. So a partial success there.

    Popped into town to get bread and milk, was very good - spent £1.70 in Mr T - bread, bananas, red onion and tuna.
    £1.98 in the 99p shop - party rings (double pack - yum!) and three tins of pasta shapes for OH (you'd think he was 5 yrs old!)
    £1.00 in local shop for milk (4pts of 1%)

    Total £4.68

    Was determined not to use any more than the change in my purse and even stopped myself picking up stuff thinking - just cos I have change and that's what I'm using doesn't mean I have to use all of it :A

    Hopefully back on the NSD wagon tomorrow. :)

    A money making couple of days for me with a few mystery shops and some ebay items posted but no NSD to declare. But I did earn more than I spent, so I can't be sad about it. My only non NSD spend today was my lunch as I was at college in town. I'm planning to take lunch tomorrow though so I can claw one back :)

    Hope everyone's had a good start to the weekend!
