The jubilant July NSD challenge

Tixy

Today for me the 'N' in NSD stands for negative - as I took something back to the shop and got a £20 refund

Anyway that takes me up to 5 so far please spoon.

happy no spending all.

Hi lovely gang :A
Well that’s another Monday done and dusted, hope it wasn’t too painful for you all...


Loads of NSDs rolling in again today - well done everyone:

:j:j:jjinty - for no 2, keep going now, you can do it!!
Hope your first day back at work went OK and that your mouth is feeling better. I like the sound of your “craft and banter” group, that’s right up my street - Edinburgh is a bit far to go for a night out though!!

:j:j:jCheryl - for no 3, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!
Sorry to hear about the run but it was probably very wise not to do it in the circumstances. Good news about the Marathon though, fingers crossed you get a place.
Glad the visit to DD went off well, despite the veg issue

:j:j:jjaffacakegal - for no 3, great start for you, keep it up!
Wow... that was some bike ride on Sunday, well done for finishing it, that’s brilliant, and you definitely deserved the takeaway after that

:j:j:jFrodo - for no 2, keep going now, you can do it!! And yay to 2 in a row as well, that’s brilliant!! Fingers crossed for no 3 today.. oh well, never mind, you’ve done well to have a non-spend weekend at your first attempt, that’s impressive!!

:j:j:jTixy - for no 4, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!
Hope puss is OK after the vet visit
And no 5 today, that’s brilliant, especially with money coming in as well!!

:j:j:jRed - for no 6, you’re doing brilliantly so far, keep it up!!

:j:j:jkathy - for no 2, keep going now, you can do it!!
I’m really sorry things at work are so bad for you, having time off always makes it seem worse as well. Great news about the interview though, you should be really pleased about that. Fingers crossed you can take Monday off or, if not, you can change your shift. (((hugs))) x

:j:j:jchrisico - for nos 4 and 5, you’re doing brilliantly so far, keep it up!!
Eek to the ironing, hope it didn’t take too long!

:j:j:jboultdj - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!
L*dl offers are just too good to resist sometimes.

:j:j:jpositivelypurple - for no 8, that’s fantastic, keep going!!
Glad you had a good day to make up for the last couple of spendy days

:j:j:jmarmiterulesok - for no 8, that’s fantastic, keep going!!

:j:j:jAlyBaly - for no 4, you’re doing brilliantly so far, keep it up!!

:j:j:jBMF - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!
Oh no... sorry to hear about your filling, hope the dentist trip isn’t too spendy...

:j:j:jelfen - for no 9, that’s fantastic, keep going!! You definitely deserve some trumpets and fanfares for that!

:j:j:jsf - for no 6, you’re doing brilliantly so far, keep it up!!

:j:j:jbeanie - for no 11, that’s fantastic, you’re doing brilliantly!!
I make that 11 in a row as well - that must be a record!!

:j:j:jButti - for no 2, keep going now, you can do it!!
Oh dear, sorry about the loan DD, that’s not what you need. Hope you manage to get it sorted tomorrow

:j:j:jStapler - sorry about the disappearing nik naks, you need to keep them under lock and key methinks. Well done for making your own sandwiches, that’s a good habit you’ve started there, it will save you loads. Fingers crossed for lots of NSDs for you this week
And no 7 in the bag now, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!

:j:j:jlotti379 - for no 4, you’re doing brilliantly so far, keep it up!!
Fingers crossed the yoga class goes ahead tomorrow and hope you have a lovely holiday!!

:j:j:jchris81418 - for no 9, that’s fantastic, keep going!!
Oooh... a mega-spendy day today, fingers crossed for the rest of the week

:j:j:jkaren is trying - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!


Hello to:

LittleMissHappy - well done on the assignment results, that’s brilliant!! You definitely deserved a treat after that:T:T. Hope the rest of DH’s first day at the new job went off OK.

kerri - well... as you’re being so good with the whoopsie fish cakes, I shall refrain from kipper flinging at the moment, I better see an NSD soon though:D..

strawberriesandcream - sometimes Mondays require drastic measures:eek:!! Fingers crossed for the rest of the week

NSD No 4 today??? no spending on the radar I think. Today is normally one of my Riverford Organics Day. Missed date but Waitrose to the rescue.
Spends ahead@£70 on Feet Would Be think £70 on Feet is equivalent to same sum at Tesco Waitrose and could take me part the way to Bonnie Scotland where I need a much needed holiday.

Been away for 4 days for a friends birthday but managed 1NSD while i was away! So i think that takes me to 4???

Sunday I did the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride - 60 miles :eek: Still can't believe I finished it

Didn't spend any money whilst I was out on it - took food to eat over the 8 AND A HALF HOURS it took me!! Bu I decided to treat myself to a takeaway after - thus ruining my chance of an NSD!! Oh well sometimes needs must!

JCG x

Jaffa Cake - that is some feat! Well done you,:T and personally I would have counted the takeaway as an "essential" spend after all that effort!;)

Hi all NSDers xxx

So sorry I've not been around I had a week off last week but felt quite dispirited, not sure why. It may have had something to do with getting an interview for the job I applied for It was on the mat when I got home but I think it has just made me realise how much I am hating where I am . Also it's for next Monday and I'm on an early shift........I tried to change the interview time but they couldn't do that so I put in a leave sheet when I went back on Saturday, should find out today if I have it, in my head she has already said no because the poison dwarf is off but I won't find out until I get in at 2.30. If she does say no then I will have to try to change to a late shift that day which will mean doing a late on the Monday then an early on the Tuesday ...still I don't know until I get in so need to stop stressing in the here and now LOL.


:hello:

Kathy - there's nothing worse than dreading going in to work, believe me, I've been there too. Remember, you are a unique and special person - they're lucky to have you working for them and it will be their loss when you move on to bigger and brighter things!;)
I have every faith that the job situ will work out for you, sending you lots of positive vibes and ((((hugs)))

No NSD for me - a friend of mine had her baby, so I had to get a gift for the baby and while I was there I thought I might as well get a couple of bits of shopping I needed. I also bought a couple of custard slices and 2 x gingerbread lattes from C*sta as I got my assignment results back today and I did really well So I got myself and my (heavily pregnant!) sister a treat, the drove round to hers and spent the next hour and a half there...should have been doing housework really

Also DH had his first day at his new job today which he told me is going well when he managed to call me at lunch.....must get going and catch up with some of the stuff I should have been doing earlier

Congrats LMS on the results and yum to the cakes and coffee! Well deserved I think!:T

Good morning folks!
#3 please Spoon! Had a small spend yesterday BUT I needed a couple of grocery items which came out of the HK money I withdrew on Friday.
Had a lovely time at the craft group, I learned how to do my first crochet stitches, and also had a lovely chat with the others that were there. Its a very small group (5) but its early days and I think it will grow as the word gets round. We had tea and cake ( kindly donated) so it was a fun evening!
Work went ok ( thanks Beanie) but I have decided to stick to my "proper" hours of 9-5 this week instead of trying to catch up like a mad thing and do crazy hours in the process!;)

Anyhoo, must chuck myself into the shower and get moving

Have a lovely day everyone:)

PS - Meant to say thank you IF for the wonderful pics you put up every day - they fair cheer me up!:T
