    I think i'm up to 9 NSD's . The best news i have though is that I am now debt free, just about! Living on the breadline like many, and will never have savings as just keeping head above water financially is taking everything I have incoming...but it's such a weight off my shoulders to be free of debt after all these years!

    I'm so pleased Kath, well done you :T:T:T

    Hi everyone,

    Didn't spend (other than train fares) on Thursday or yesterday, so I've got 2/8 so far!

    NSD # 10. Didn't log on yesterday so forgot to post. Was feeling a bit low on Friday so i brought me some chocolate, but when i cam home from work i had an email saying i had won a trip to London with £200 to spend in the disney shop for 2 adults and 2 children which has completly made the week for me. I am so excited now i am taking my sister and of course my DD's who will probably take about 10 seconds to spend £200:rotfl:. Today we are going to do DD1's chocolate coin maker which we have had since christmas and never got round to doing and i have ironing to do and parcels to wrap fr ebay and an endless list of chores to do.

    :j well done you! what a lovely pick me up :T Perhaps you should tell DDs they have £100 to spend in the shop, then when they've chosen some things, tell them that the nice man in the shop has said they can have another £100 ;)

    Well don Katholics...a great achievement! :T:beer::T

    We have a while to get rid of our last c-c debts...then there is the mortgage, with now less than 10 years to go!!

    Nabbed
    NSD nos 8 and 9 yesterday and today. :j

    Had a run of 3 spendy days in a row the end of last week...was very strange, haven't done that for ages. Must be doing something right for it to feel so wrong! :D I was so busy at work last week, as well as home stuff, and I just couldn't do everything I wanted when I had planned.

    Had a fantastic day out at the garden show on Friday...only bought two plants, but did get some bits and pieces to use in the garden So although I did spend...everything was so much cheaper than I would/could have got anywhere else...so MSE, if spendy
    :money:. I also bought some things from the stand I was working on, more Christmas and birthday presents, and helping the charity too. :D

    Have a great Sunday everyone....see you next week sometime.
