    :hello:

    Hi all NSDers xx

    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday Little Miss and sis :bdaycake:

    Right best get used to putting figures in purple :) So I am declaring number 17 today :jThis means I hit target :jI was hoping to get an extra one in tomorrow but I have a prescription to pick up and have just remembered my pre pay card has run out :( but will do that tomorrow, unless I decide to leave it till Wednesday but I really do need to knuckle down in June and I do have shopping to do (have run my cupboards out.....have been eating some really strange things this last week :rotfl:) and have my regular trip to London on the Sunday and am going away at the end of the month :j. Will need to get a haircut too but have the details for the college so I should be able to get it done cheaply if I register there so I will need to be super organised next month :eek:

    Right best get back to work.

    See you all later xx

    Looks like I'll be getting my last NSD of the month so that makes #7! I'm providing the mince for tea so making MrS get the potatos on the way back from the airport.

    As for the new month, I won't be counting my direct debits as they come out of a separate account as I move everything around on pay day. I will be counting grocery shopping and any other spends (including things like planned birthday events) except petrol as again that comes off a pre-paid debit card which I load on payday. Anything else anyone can think of?

    Happy Birthday Little Miss Happy and sis...hope you have had a great day. Like the idea of meeting up for lunch and doing a bit of shopping...that way you can get what you want!!

    Declaring today as NSD no 20 :j:j Really pleased to have reached my second target....:D.

    I could well have another NSD tomorrow...not sure yet. DH has suggested I get a laptop if I want one (Dell special offer finishing tomorrow, looking at 2nd from the left).

    It is really a good deal, and perfect for me to have. Still dithering though, we have the money to buy it outright and I would really use it a lot. However, we still have a PC at home, which works perfectly well (only 2.5 years old), though we could do with the space if we got rid of it (sell it hopefully). Everyone else in the family has a laptop, so I am the one who uses the PC most of the time.


    It's really odd.. a few years ago, if DH had suggested this, I would have been online and buying it before he had stopped talking!! I keep thinking what else I could spend that £300 on...and that is becoming a looong list! :D

    I think I will have to sleep on it some more.. but it's looking like I am probably going to pass on this spend...wow, really impressed with myself, at least on how long I am thinking about it!!


    Been wet most of today, though saying that, the sun is out now and it's a lovely evening. I've been doing a bit of tidying about the house and some sewing...had great fun...can't believe England actually won the cricket today...quite exciting at the end!!!

    Off to get tea sorted...HM pizza...yummmmm.

    The bread and butter pudding was scrummy, even thopugh I say so myself...it didn't last very long, funny that :rotfl:
