    day 12 today - looking mighty tight now to achieve target however this is the most I have ever had in a month so Im not going to beat myself up if I dont make it. Tomorrow a spendy day as pay day but will think ahead and try to put money aside for everything else I need so it all comes out on one day. Need to think about June now :)

    Good evening all..... another NSD coming up for me today, once again I was fed and entertained by MrS today although I am shortly taking him to the airport for his long weekend in Dundee :(

    Not sure what's happening with my housemates birthday thingy tomorrow as we were planning on punting but it's due to rain... hopefully that will be my only spendy day anyway...

    Hope everyone is well x

    Another catch up post from me today. It has been a busy week, I turned 30 and I have gotten myself a new job! :j Am really happy as it's a step up in my career.

    Anyway NSDs

    23rd - NSD 17
    24th - NSD 18
    25th - NSD 19
    26th - NSD 20 - Target Met :j

    Am not going to commit to anymore no spend days for this month as the next few days will be spent celebrating my life changing week :o- this job means with the increased pay I can knock a couple of months off paying off CC's.

    NSD#11 today Not at all sure I will meet my target (again :mad:). In fact, I think it's highly unlikely, but I will still try.

    As of this afternoon am now on half term- thank goodness!! I might even have a chance to get back on here for a chat!:D I seem to have had no time for anything these last couple of weeks. In a way I don't feel I have properly recovered from no sleep on the night of the Moonwalk :o

    I still have exam papers and reports to write, but at least I can have a lie-in in the mornings!:p

    Sympathise completely! I haven't recovered from my Moonwalk either, to make it worse, had the dreaded phone call last Tuesday (my 2nd day back at work after sick leave due to an accident) and THEY were in Thursday/Friday. I could barely keep myself awake as I was in school till 8pm till they came and wasn't sleeping out of fear! :cry:

    Am envious as I am not on half term yet but will be from tomorrow night. However will be writing reports and also marking test papers. Am planning on going for 6 reports a day so the first draft is sorted. God knows when I will have time to think about planning though. :(

    OK business first... NSD 5 for me please spoon!
    Well I got NSD 12 yesterday so I think I may just reach my target this month!

    Starting to get a bit panicky as I get paid tomorrow, but will be back to the same overdrawness on Wednesday :( I can't actually see a way out of this! If I had the time I would get a part-time job but I can see a feasible way of fitting this around everything I do!

    Oh well mustn't moan, there are plenty worse off than me, just feeling sorry for myself!

    JCG x

    You moan away... I'm sure we can all relate!:eek: Have you looked at your budget recently, checked that all your bills are as low as they can be... posted your SOA on the board for everyone to check, checked a snowball calc to find out when you could be DF... all the stuff you do at the start but kinda don't really look at again...maybe...
    Hi all NSD # 17 today. Off to London tomorrow haven't packed yet so panicking abit. I know i will have three spendy days but trying to keep them low spends have to buy dinners and teas for us while in London. Think we will probably spend Saturday mainly sightseeing as this is cheap and relativly free. Not excited at the moment but i think tahts becasue DD's cannot dehave so i am dreading there behaviour any way i am sure i am not the only mum with children who fight all the time.

    Yeah my two fight like cat and dog... I have just enrolled boths DS's into jujitsu... may have been a mistake:eek:

    Congratulations about the job miss_t. :T Hope the rib gets better quick beanie.

    I don't know how I have managed it but today was another NSD. So thats me on 17!!! Have spent all evening tidying and baking for the arrival of my Lil Sis, who should get here around 1am. :eek:

    Letter is all written and I'll be handing it in tomorrow. Quite nerve racking. I know its the right thing to do but is annoying that it could slow down the paying off of our debts!

    xx
