Avoiding the shops in April - The NSD Challenge

twistedhazel

......and 1 today makes 15 :j I was strongly considering stopping at Mr. A on the way to work to get some quick food for lunch but ended up being good and taking soup (homemade using carrots we grew ourselves last year!), not very exciting but very MSE. Was by myself all day today at work so ended up eating at 2:30pm and was very hungry by that point. I was glad then that I had proper filling food not snacky food, although I did end up eating it in stages, between customers!

Hope everyone is well, nipped in to post this and will now catch up on the actual thread, I know it's backwards but that's just how I roll

Take it easy

Hi all NSDers xx

Thank you all for the 'welcome back's...'tis good to be back

Like the sound of burning all the bills Suzy :rotfl:

Well I did do the pet shop today but did keep to the basics...I needed litter as I'm not letting her out until she has got used to the smell of the house and O can gp put with her at first so I got a tray too...she is only little and can't keep jumping into the old washing up bowl :rotfl:and I got some dried food to wean her onto as she has been having tins. I resisted bowls etc as she can use saucers but I did get a couple of toys (not expensive honest)............although she seems more interested in my telephone cable LOL

I made use of a spendy day though and got petrol and leccy so should be okay for a while.........am working all through the bank holiday bit it will keep me away from the shops and at least I'm on a early on Saturday so can watch Doctor Who........mind you I am on a late on Friday so may sleep through it LOL

Hope everyone is good xxxx

See you all tomorrow

OHHHHH is Doctor Who back on this sat? :j:j:j Even though I don't like Matt Smith as much as David Tennant or Christopher E, I do think Karen Gillen is great as Amy Pond, and it's intersting to have a second companion in Rory (who I have really warmed to) .. let the mystery of River Song be revealed....*cue a blue spinning tardis and the Doctor Who theme music*

Ummmmm - hate to tell you this, but it's actually only Thursday

Ooooooo...... fingers crossed we both hit lucky then

I'm not looking forward to the financial implications (entry fee, travel, accomodation for at least 3 nights as I'd plan to travel down on the Friday and not come home until at least the Monday, food etc), but I have an endowment which is no longer used as security against a mortgage due to mature next March - so even if I don't manage to save up quite enough, at least lack of funds shouldn't cause me to have to cancel

Ooops Had a couple of vinos...it was 5pm somewhere in the world :rotfl::beer:
I live not too far from London but will probably stay overnight on Saturday (maybe use my clubcard vouchers for a hotel room ) if (when!) I (we!) get a place....

Another spend day for me today. I'm aiming for at least one NSD over weekend, maybe more.

I hope everyone has a lovely Easter weekend

Good morning everyone! :wave:

I've been AWOL for a few days as I've been v busy with work ... too busy to spend, so I've managed to clock up 3 more NSDs on Tuesday, Wednesday and yesterday, so I'm now up to 17 NSDs! Woo hoo! :j

Unfortunately, I'll continue to be busy through these bank holiday's and through Easter too (hence I'm up at this ridiculous hour!) ... however, that does mean I should collect a couple more NSDs over the weekend .

Have a fun on your bike trip Rock Cakes, and have a good weekend and enjoy the sunshine everyone else!

I'm off now to try to catch up on the last 7 pages of this thread since my last post! :eek:

Good morning all!

Up early despite being a holiday as OH is working. He got the chance of OT and time off in the loo, so it was too good to pass up.:D The extra dosh will pay for the car service next week and will save us dipping into the "reserves".

Had a bit of a spendy day yesterday as I needed a bit of a shop. I set a budget of £80 and came in at £68 so I'm very happy! I feel we're pretty well stocked up for the next wee while.
Not planning to do much today. I am hoping to get into the loft and see what summer clothes I have stashed up there. I do need some lighter stuff but I dont want to buy till I do a bit of a stock take! However, I need OH to go up there for me as we dont have a proper loft ladder and I'm too scared to go up on my own.

Beanie- I'm pleased you enjoyed your shop, you will be looking a million $$$$$$$$$$!
BDINI - Can I please up my target to 18? I'm hoping for more, but I dont want to get carried away just yet!

Have a lovely day everyone:)

Still not had another NSD, booo! used change in my purse to get chocolate from the machine:o

Also today need to get a bit of shopping, but i'm hoping to blag a few over the weekend. And I've still got untill Thursday till payday, so potentially another 6 to be had!

Good luck all and have a brilliant weekend xxx
