Making mayhem in May with the NSD challenge
Comments

Morning!!
This month I'm going to have to be super thrifty. Paid a huge chunk off the CC (£702.08),which with all the other budgeted stuff, leaves me with £47 for the month for personal spending, Eeek!! Have done plenty of batch cooking and the freezer is brimming, although the gravy for the chicken pie turned out to be more like soup (oops).
I have decided that however thrifty I want to be, I don't think I can go to some of the extremes of the superscrimpers, including last nights edition-wearing boys undies because they are cheaper than ladies (never going to happen), and cutting tops out of pillow cases, I just don't have the sewing skills to do them justice.
So after all my ramblings, I'm going to raise the stakes this month with 15 NSDs.
Bring on the May mayhem and madness. Wahoo!!
M&S £2878.22/ Natwest £3526/ Loan £405/ [STRIKE]Sofa £0[/STRIKE]/ [STRIKE]Ring £0[/STRIKE]/
Savings £12.04 NSD 3/10 :cool:Total £6915.88

'tis also my Mum's birthday - but I'll be off taking part in/supporting the most local Ch@llenge66 run (depending on how my legs are after running in it the previous day!)solventsoon wrote: »And some interesting dates:
1 May - May Day (and an excuse to dance around a maypole causing mayhem:D)
I'm certainly not up to that standard (yet!! but never say never - perhaps I may try it one day :rotfl:)6 May - Roger Bannister ran a mile in less than four minutes (this one’s for Cheryl)
And I'm in with my normal target of 12 NSDs please Spoon

Just popped in to say - loving the prizes Spoon - GENIUS!!
Also, managed to negotiate a good deal for my new mobile phone contract without having to change providers, plus I got my dongle contract via Quidc0, so £80 cashback for that! The cost of my new package inc the dongle and an upgraded phone is just slightly cheaper than my previous one, so Im rather happy.;) Looking forward to my new "toys" arriving soon!
It's a be-yoo-tiful day here so I'm going to relax!
Have a good 'un!
you will always be rich enough to be generous.0 -
