Avoiding the shops in April - The NSD Challenge

Butti

Look at me. Look at me.

No. 5. I is officially amazed.

Also dismantled a shed this weekend. Took the roof off with brut force - dismantling the sides did accept a bit of help from my neighbours.... and found out the window was real glass. Oooops.:rotfl:

Tomorrow;
- Recycling including the shed
- Running on the beach
- More affordability assignment - lovely

And today finally takes my NSD count up to 8 :T

Had a fantastic day.....

Managed an 8.12 mile run in the heat this morning (didn't head out until after 10:30am), came home and chilled for an hour, phoned a friend and ended up talking to him for almost 3 hours (whoops! lots of jobs I should have been doing, but a proper catch up on all the gossip - and comparing of notes as to how we're doing on the dating site - was much more fun), mowed the back lawn, chilled for another couple of hours, walked the dog for over an hour (while chatting to the same friend for the last 20 mins of so of it ), managed to raise 'my chap' via text after I got back (he's been out on his bike again today), made (and ate) tea, and have just ironed my uniforms for this coming week.

Off to bed now, so will have to be sure to get up with my first alarm (5:30am) as I need a shower and hairwash before work !!

Just had a look on the M'n'S website, and found the dress I splurged on yesterday - for anyone that's interested, it's this one

And these are the shoes I got from Cl@rks.... the other pair are identical apart from being black.

Ooh er, missus! Lovely choices of frock and shoes, you'll look a million $$$ in those!;)

Good morning all!

Another lovely morning!
Had a great day yesterday, accomplished all we set out to do! 1.Tackled that bloomin ivy, it took me and OH the best part of the morning to tame it, but it looks SO much better!
2. Made a trip to the dump - sorry, recycling centre - and got shot of a pile of junk which we cleared from the shed last week.
3. Ironed two humungous baskets of washing
4. OH washed and polished both cars - they may not be new but, boy do they gleam!
5. Delivered the Easter cards and had a lovely walk and catch up with my Mum.
6. Fell asleep in the chair while reading my book!Phew!

7. Got NSD #12 :j

Kerri, tell us if the muesli bars worked out - they sound yum!

Twisted hazel - no more beating youself up please, chip butties are brill!

Have a lovely day everyone!:)

Twisted Hazel -MMMM chip butties.... I think I may just have to indulge tonight!!

Cheryl, can't remember the last time I actually went clothes shopping and actually tried things on in the shops... That dress looks fantastic though PS is it you that has the couch to 5k programme? If so could you please PM me? I have a very expensive pair of trainers I need to get some use out of :rotfl:

I had such a busy weekend, just about managed to get on top of everything before work gets sooooooo busy which I'm glad about :j

Anyway back on topic.... managed to catch nsd #5 on Saturday as didn't leave the house/garden! Sunday I managed damage limitation as OH paid for the shopping in Mr T's and we went halves on the BnQ purchases so a spend of £25 for me yesterday :T

Today I have to get some motion lotion and some things from town (cheaper than Mr T's) so not a NSD today It's looking like good weather though so I hope you all have a good day

Hi all,

What a ridiculous spendy weekend for me

Went shopping Friday night, spent more than I expected, Petrol in the car for Balir Drummon on Sat £40!! Doesn't go far now! Went out for tea & drinks on Sat night, spent about £40 :S and had chinese last night to cure my hangover.

Feel rubbish this morning, Monday mornings, pffffft.

Anyways, good thing is, I don't have any money left to spend, only got £13 in my account, so i'm declaring a NSD for today, bringing my total to 4 so far. Shouldn't be too hard to reach my target now as I have no money! xxx

elfen

Can I please take off my target and just count how many I get or the month. Been having a really bad month and needed to try and sort it....and things have been breaking and messing up necessitating replacement. And I'v e been trying to get rid of K's presence (stuff) in the flat and I'm nearly done. I'll make up for it next month

Not going to be a NSD for me today . My two cocker spaniels need to go get haircuts but its worth it as they currently look like sheep and smell like swamp water .

Tomorrow should be a NSD as I am back at work and its easier when I am working.

Morning all

Just caught up on the weekend posts, you guys have been a busy lot!

Glad to hear that you got an answer to your cats problem Jinty, hopefully it will start to feel better soon.
Cheryl very jealous to hear about your shopping spree, I am in desperate need of some spring/summer work clothes and need to schedule some shopping time in. Don't enjoy it but its got to done.
Hugs for twistedhazel, we can't be positive all of the time, but that's what we are here for. By the sounds of the list you are back on track.

Had a spendy weekend. But hoping to bag a few NSDs this week, starting with today. Going to check over my covering letter and CV before sending it off, glup! Work is absolutely dead today. Might have to go on a wander today, so I don't spend the whole day without speaking to someone. Its has been known to happen!

Have a good day everyone
xx

*rushes in* just a really really quick stop - no NSD for me today but it's a well worthwhile spend as I have just been buying some baby gifts as I became proud (very proud) Aunty to a baby girl at 10.30pm last night! :j:j:j

Have nieces and nephews on my OH side but this is my Bro's first little 'un. Mum and baby all good and daddy chuffed to bits to (though prob still looking like a rabbit in the headlights knowing him :rotfl:)

So, being v.unorganised Aunty - I just ordered the things that I have been meaning to order for weeks
