    No longer an NSD for me today as I had to get out the house so I decided to buy a few birthday cards etc that I need for the month... most of it came out of the present savings, except some handcream for work. Ah well, I would only have had to buy it later in the month!

  • Hello everyone, can't believe where the past few days have gone - very glad to see the back of mean miserable May & looking forward to Jolly June!:D

    Managed to exceed May's target (15) and got 17!!!!:D - so better than my disappointing result in April!

    Congrats to everyone who took part in May, however you got on - it's a great way to focus the mind and think before you buy - I LOVE IT!!!

    Think I'll go for 15 again please.

    Good luck everyone, will be back to catch up on all the posts later (can't believe how many there are already)!:D

    Can I bring Party Rings?

    Does anyone find actually having zilch money more comforting than having money?!

    ...

    Ohhh I love Party Rings - though can eat my way through them far too easily I find (I like sucking off the icing on them :o)

    I'm going to say this really quietly as Spoony might hear...but today wasn't a NSD for me :o:o I paid to get my car cleaned at work (£10 for a wash, polish, wheel shine and hoover inside) - it did need it and it wasn't so much to make it clean and shiny but to look after it and give the paintwork a good wax. I know I know, I could do it myself but I don't have a hose and the tap is out the back etc etc :o also treated myself and my friend to hot choccys - we were both feeling a bit carp so I don't feel in the least bit guilty *ducks as another kipper comes flying my way!*

    Tomorrow should be a NSD if I can get a bit creative about lunches - watch this space.

    Oh, does anyone know if you can freeze tinned sweetcorn once opened? I opened some to use in a sarnie for lunch today but have a lot left and OH doesn't like it (since its a veg) - I always find it a struggle to use the rest up without turning into the Jolly Green Giant (well the Mr A Smart Price version of :rotfl:) and wondered if I could just freeze what's left?
