    Hi lovely gang :A
    My head has only just recovered from far too much of Igor’s moonshine last night.:D That was a fun outing last night, hope more of you will join in on future adventures.
    Thanks to anyone who did the sun dance for me today, it finally arrived:j:j



    Lots of NSDs rolling in over the weekend and another target tumbling - well done everyone::j

    :j:j:jLearning2Budget - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    Hope you managed to get out in the park and claim no 8 ..
    And you did.. YAY!!!!
    I know what you mean about over-using your brain at work, it happens to me most days!!
    And no 9 in the bag as well, you’re on Chris’s mini roll, I think!!

    :j:j:jmarmiterulesok - for no 12, you got there, well done!! Keep going now!
    I still have the kippers on standby, don’t forget!
    And no 13 in the bag, kippers put away again now!

    :j:j:jlotti379 - for no 7, and your target tumbles, well done, that’s brilliant!!:j:j:j
    Awarding your prize now, at least you can pretend you’re on a nice sunny beach now.
    Did you want to increase your target now?

    :j:j:jNargle - for no 9, you’re doing brilliantly!! Three more to get now, you can do it!
    And no 10 in the bag now, drum roll as requested!!

    :j:j:jCheryl - for no 8, you’re doing great now, keep going!
    And no 9 in the bag today.
    Hope you had a lovely evening with your chap:)

    :j:j:jbeanie - for no 19, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!:T

    :j:j:jdonna dynamo - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    Glad you had a good birthday, well done for winning the tickets, you’ve done well with winnings this year!:T

    :j:j:jRed - of course you can increase your target to 18, will do that for you now. Good luck!
    I guess you managed to get to the wine warehouse on Saturday by the look of your spends. Did you get some bargains?
    And no 16 in the bag for today, that’s brilliant!! Hope the soup making and bread baking went well?:)

    :j:j:jThe Dragon - for nos 14 and 15, nearly at target no 2, keep going!
    How much gin did I drink last night? I hate gin!!!!!!!:eek:

    :j:j:jelfen - for no 17, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    Hope you had a lovely couple of days with the new man!:)

    :j:j:jfedupandskint - for no 10, yay to double figures, keep going, you can do it!!:T

    :j:j:jBDINI - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, nearly there now. Keep going!
    Good news about your Gran, hope she continues to improve, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
    Good for you for having a lazy evening, you deserved that xx:A

    :j:j:jkerri - for no 11, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    Another busy day for you by the looks of it. Hmmmm... tricky decision re the taps, you could easily make a lot of work and/or expense for yourself by doing that unfortunately.... Trouble is that you probably won’t know until you get the old ones off by which time it’ll be a bit late:(

    :j:j:jrising from the ashes - for nos 10, 11, 12 and 13 you’re doing brilliantly. And yay!! to 4 in a row as well. Keep going!
    Thanks, the sun did arrive eventually, it was a lovely afternoon.
    Oh dear to your Wednesday spends, I spent a fortune that day as well:(

    :j:j:jsf - for no 14, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    Oh dear, I’m really sorry to hear about your grandma. Good news that she’s improving but it is very upsetting. Thinking about you and sending you a (((hug))) xx

    :j:j:jIf - for no 14, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
    I take it you haven’t been out replenishing your chocolate supplies then?:rotfl:

    :j:j:jLittleMissHappy - for no 7, you’re doing brilliantly, nearly there now. Keep going!
    Hope little Willow and her mum are both doing well?:)


    Hello to:

    Wee Pilsbury - wow!! £20 for the weekly shop is pretty good going and well done for washing your car, it’s much better for the polish than the car washes and good exercise too:T




    Well it was a spendy Saturday for me, cc bill to pay:eek::eek: but no 19 in the bag for me today, only one more left to get now!!:j


    Off to update the front page now, so see you all tomorrow.

    ‘night everyone

    Nearly nabbed a NSD yesterday but I needed cucumber and spring onions and I treated myself to a whoopsie bunch of 12 roses ( £2.50) So a LSD. Will be pushing it to make my target this month, but I will be pretty near it! Its been a tough one this month!

    th_hugs-vi222232324.gif to BDINI & SF - hope your Grans are on the mend soon.

    Have a lovely day everyone:)


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Would just like to say that not only have i been saving money, but i have also dropped nearly 2 dress sizes since starting the NSD challenge. All because i'm not popping to the shop and picking up crisps or choc while i'm there. So just wanted to say a big THANKYOU for this thread and the support of everyone!

    Good Morning Lovely NSDers

    I have finally caught up with the thread. Big hugs for SF, hope your Nan is feeling better soon. :grouphug: Sorry about your cat Jinty but you did was best for Bruce.

    Feel like I have been here, there and everywhere. Went down to two days at work, then down to the south coast to see my folks on Thursday. Then up to the in-laws on Friday, then drove back up home on Saturday. But managed another 3 NSDs. Which means I have hit my target of 10. Its been quite hard work this month.

    I have just 2 days of work and then we get ready for our friend's wedding on Thursday. Then we are off to Oz to see my SIL, who is also getting married. So we will be in Oz for 3 weeks of August. So I might have to set a very low target next month! Hope you all have been enjoying the weather.

  • The lovely thing about NSD prizes, Frodo, is they can be wherever you want them to be. So your beach can anywhere from Southend to Sydney and all points in between :D



    It's a pleasure, Red, hope it was warm enough in NI today to go surfing!:D



    Wow, Frodo, that's some preparation for a meal out with work!! Hope you enjoyed it!! x

    Had a great night but spent far too much money lol.:p
    Had taken the car with me so I couldn't drink, as had to be up at 6 for a 12 hour shift next day. Got caught up in the fun, drank far too much, had to leave car and get a taxi back to it yesterday, so planned NSD out the window.:( Will try for one today.
    Sounds like you all had fun on the tardis.:)

  • spoon - thanks for asking :) Willow is beautiful and my sister is feeling loads better now she is no longer heavily pregnant and her after pains have stopped :)

    Rock_Cakes - wow, 3 weeks in Oz! Have a great time and an especially lovely time at your sister in laws wedding ;)

    I don't think today will be an NSD as I am spending the day painting my boys' bedrooms and I will need more paint. Catch you all later, have a great Monday x
