Have an adventure in August with the NSD challenge

dannie

Hi folks, thanks for any help in help regarding me reaching my target.

kerri gt and solventsoon - Initially, I aimed to beat a previous 17NSD via a Grocery challenge which didn't have a numbered target to work towards. However, I'd like to continue this challenge to the last day in August so I can compare the two figures. I'll therefore increase my target to NSD25 by not spending on food and drinks still).

Today was NSD19.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

NSD #9 yesterday but unfortunately didn't get one today. Stupid me left my lunch at home so I had to go out from work and buy some. I also ended up paying for the game I wanted from work. Got my staff discount on it though.:)

Hi all,
I didn't pledge a number of NSD's but on checking my spending diary this morning I have 17 NSD's this month.

Hi desperate+determined and a massive WELL DONE for your 17 NSDs, that's brilliant!!!

I'll add you to the front page now with your 17 and if you feel like joining us for the rest of the month (and maybe September) please do, we always welcome newbies to the challenge. We have lots of comfy chairs to sit and have a natter in and free tea and coffee (not sure about the food though, we have a slightly off the wall chef, Igor:D)

Well done for MIL’s birthday pressies, I’m sure she’ll love them.:T
Pleased your tooth is feeling a bit better, keeping my fingers crossed for the anti-bs x
Hope you enjoyed playing with the new PC program, sounds fun!!

:j:j:jpinkfluffybabe - firstly, increasing your target to 18, good luck with getting there!
And yay to no 16, you’re well on the way to target no 2 now, keep going!

:j:j:jLittleMissHappy - lovely to hear from you on your hols and pleased you’re having a great time!
Increasing your target to 16 now, good luck, you can do it!
And well done for nos 9 to 13, that definitely merits a drum roll!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your hols x

:j:j:jfedupandskint - for no 13, only 2 more to get now, you can do it!

:j:j:jL2B - for no 10, yay to double figures!! Only 2 more to get now, you can do it!!
Oh dear, being skint does have some advantages, I guess, it makes NSDs easier anyway....

:j:j:jBDINI - for no 13, nearly there now, you can do it!!
Really sorry about your horrible day at work, I’m not surprised you were shaken up by that, pleased you weren’t injured though, that’s something to be thankful for.
Well done you for helping out the chap from the pub, that’s really public-spirited of you and not something a lot of people would do, and you definitely deserve a pint for that, especially after the work trauma as well (((hugs))) xx :A
How’s your gran doing now?

:j:j:jNargle - for no 10, yay to double figures, nearly there now!
Pleased DD is fine, and it’s good that she and OH are on speaking terms, fingers crossed for a happy resolution for them both

:j:j:jsf - for no 10, yay to double figures, nearly there now

:j:j:jRed - for no 16, one more to get now, you can do it!

:j:j:jrising from the ashes - for no 9 and your target tumbles, that’s fantastic!!:j:j:j
Superman is heading your way now, hope he arrives safely!
Would you like to increase your target now or wait and see what happens?
You’re very organised now, but then I guess you need to be with your op in a couple of weeks. Good luck with getting anything else done that you need to do x

:j:j:jdannie - firstly, increasing your target to 25 - I think that may be our record, so good luck with getting there!
And well done for no 19, you’re well on the way now, keep going!

:j:j:jrobedha - for no 9, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!
Oh dear, sorry about your lunch today, it happens to all of us at one time or another but well done for the staff discount on the game you bought, that’s an achievement!


And hello to:

jinty - pleased the zumba class went well, you may have been puffing a bit but at least you finished it, well done for that!! :T

shezam - well, your NSDs may be slowing down, but you’ve done much better this month than last month, so think about that. Fingers crossed you get can your remaining 3 and your target x:A

squeeeek - I have no idea why your post made me chuckle so much, sorry.:o Poor pud, I hope he’s OK after the op, though he may not speak to you for a couple of days:eek:

Lily - even if you don’t make your target, 15 NSDs is not to be sniffed at and you have lots of time left to improve on that. Now why would your mum not want to eat balsamic caterpillar I wonder - it’s just the sort of thing Igor would serve up at one of our outings!:eek:

TwelveStopsThenHome - hope BDINI has answered your questions about working out what is an NSD. If you need any more advice/help please just ask, we’re all happy to help x:A

beanie - oooohh... your birthday, Igor can make you a special birthday cake and we might be able to manage some fireworks for you as well :j:j


No 19 in the bag for me today, woohooo, one more to get for my target. Spendy day on the agenda tomorrow unfortunately:(

Off to update the front page now, see all you lovely people tomorrow

‘night everyone

Thanks Spoon - I caught another NSD yesterday, so I'm now up to 19 NSDs meaning I've reached my target and I'm currently on a chocolate mini-roll of 5 NSDs! :j So, I'll up the ante and increase my target to 23 NSDs please!

In case I don't get the oportunity to log on this weekend - happy birthday Beanie! :bdaycake:

Enjoy that Friday feeling everyone!

made it to 13NSD today - didn't go anywhere apart from walking the dog and a run - phew it worked :j

Well done on your 8lbs lost jinty :j Weight isn't exactly dropping off me on my diet but some inches are. Up to 6lbs off now over the last few months and wishing for another 11lbs to go! Might go and powerwalk my doglet too and see if a few more lbs drop off me

Thanks so much! 6lbs off is not to be sniffed at - well done!
BTW - I read your Debt free stats in your sig - you're doing amazingly well!:T Maybe you should be Skintbutproud?
