The jubilant July NSD challenge

Frodobaggins

Hi guys, NSD#4 for me today. I really shouldn't count tomorrows shop as a NSD as even though its OHs wages, he gives me the money to do what I see fit with, so I'll still be spending it.:o
Gonna go for 2 in a row over weekend.

Thanks so much everyone for their kind wishes. The interview this afternoon went pretty well I think. I will hear either tomorrow or Monday, so just in time before I head off on holiday. Hope it's good news.

Well, Spoon, a rather spendy day today. Did a bit of a basic stores top-up today in prep for going away. DS1 wil be home so he will need feeding etc. Also did a bit of a dried and tinned food shop for a friend who lives a long way from most places that have good food offers (only has a Mr T). We are staying with her in the very far north of Scotland in 12 days time, so this will be in part payment of our stay there.

Hope to nab an NSD tomorrow , have set aside £5 to cover posting a couple of parcels tomorrow...I just didn't have time to send them today.

Off to bed soon, soooo tired, night all.

Hello to:

jinty - oh dear:(... mind you, after what you’ve been through this month you deserve some treats. Sorry the baked spud wasn’t brilliant, that’s a shame but hope your lunch today was much better and you had a good old natter

LittleMissHappy - just make sure you do send most of it back, we can’t have spendthrifts like you on here, you’re a bad influence on the rest of us:rotfl:... Fingers crossed you got your NSD today x

laura2481 - well done for not using the “f” word. Fingers crossed for an NSD tomorrow. Of course you can make it, there are loads of potential NSDs left in July, keep going!!:T

Tixy - hope you enjoyed the cream cake:D

Cheryl - wow!! you have definitely just regained your “whoopsie queen” title, that was some shopping list for £6:T......

marmiterulesok - glad you enjoyed the guided walk, if it did you good then it was worth the spends. Saturday’s not that far away, you can still make your target:)

kerri - and more bargains for you today, another impressive shopping list for not much dosh!!:T

Keiss - great news on the interview, really hope you get some good news from it:T
That was a bit of a spendy day, definitely, fingers crossed for an NSD tomorrow



No 12 for me today, trying to make up for the mega-spendy day yesterday...

Thanks Spoon! The mini-roll continues with NSD number 12 caught yesterday; and yes, it is chocolate - how did you guess?

Have a good wiggle and enjoy that Friday feeling everyone!

Morning everyone,

We're here :j:j:j Flight was good and children very excited to see the extended family. I don't anticipate having a NSD anytime soon (except Sunday perhaps?) as we're out and about most days. I've only got one more to meet my challenge so I should be OK.

Just wanted to check in before the thread had moved on 25 pages :rotfl: Have a lovely day everyone

Oh carp - just remembered I need to get tap washers tomorrow .... hmmm... does stopping a dripping tap REALLY count as a spend :think:

Jinty says NO - I reckon it's essential!
I am in awe of your coupon shopping - that was an amazing haul for the money you spent!:T

Nicca - I look just like my avatar! Not! Although sometimes I feel extremely woolly! Although I'm qualified, I dont do nearly as much therapy work as I should. In my other life I work in finance and numbercrunch all day! The problem is my psoriasis - when its bad on my hands its too painful to do massage etc. I'll send you virtual aromatherapy!



Well I had a wonderful day yesterday - it was great to catch up with my friend. She gave me a surprise pressie of a book by Shirley Maclaine which looks very interesting. She said she saw it and thought of me - how nice is that?

Today I am off to A$da for a bit of grocery shopping, then I have the dentist for a quick check. Things have improved a great deal but I need a little tweak here and there! I think I am catching up with M&D and sis later, as sis is just back from hols.
SO no NSD today - but boy am I enjoying life!:rotfl:

Have a lovely day everyone

Happy Friday all

Och, thanks Jinty. I've not really been using the coupons for that long, but the folks on the Mr T 1p thread and the Printable Coupon thread are all lovely and helpful and I've picked up some great tips from them. I do feel a bit nervous handing over my pile of coupons - goodness knows why when they are perfectly legit - think it goes back to when a trout in Mr T refused one I had many moons ago (no reason why either, it was perfectly fine)

Have a lovely day today, after all you've been through with your teeth you deserve some sunny times

NSD Number 9 for me yesterday

Morning lovely gang:A:A

Jinty - your post and your pictures have really cheered me up this morning, thanks x:A

pp - glad you've arrived back safely, enjoy your time over here x

kerri - I missed the tap washers yesterday but agree with Jinty, it's an essential

And as I seem to be able to post pictures today, it's time for a wiggle:D

Enjoy your Friday everyone xx
