Number 3 today please Spoon.
Feeling grotty today so heading back to bed & will catch up properly tomorrowFebruary NSD challenge 5/150 -
fakeplastictwee - I hope your cat pulls through
My cat was very poorly earlier in the year and luckily he pulled through so i know how you are feeling - keeping everything crossed xxx
risingfromtheashes - I didn't realise you were going into hospital. Good luck, hoping everything turns out ok
My DH is going away tomorrow for a week so I'm preparing for a very organised week as I fill my days right up to the brim while he's away so I am so exhausted by the time I go to bed that I don't have time to miss himI will be 2 stone lighter from the running and the house will be sparkling, all newly painted walls and all my studying will be completed up to the beginning of September. Well, that's the plan. It's either that or beer

Hi all, almost had a nsd yesterday, but went to shop in the eve with bf to get some custard and cream (was making a trifle for my son and nephew) was hoping he was paying, but when we got to the till, he said "I didn't bring any money with me"
grrrr!! And today I popped to aldis to buy some fruit and veg as we are getting scurvy in my hose....so no nsd day today either
oh well...there is always tomorrow, and I plan on not leaving the house at all!! Good luck to everyone else!!!

£106 later and it was no longer looking like a NSD but my sister has put the money back in my account, so, with a heavy heart and not very excitably, I'm counting today as NSD #2.
Wouldn't care if I did spend the money though. Poor thing.Fingers crossed when we take him back in the morning the vet will say it's just a chest infection.
(((((hugs))))) fakeplastictwee, and fingers crossed it is just a chest infection.
I know what it's like to worry about a pet, I've been there myself, and it's horrible:(

Had a lovely afternoon doing my cards, I dont know where the time went!
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Having spent the night re-jigging my budget and logging on and off various banking sites I have been totally in the MSE zone and read your lovely afternoon doing cards all wrong Jinty!
Ahhhh! You mean crafts and glitter and actual cards you can give to people! So much more fum than my evening doing cards!You'll be a pro in no time! Have fun!
Although the focus has kept me in and away from temptation so I have bagged NSD 3!Jan10: 28,315.81 Jan11: 18,015.32 Jan12: 7,682.58 Jan13: 2,987.73 Current debt: 1,225.55

Hoping for my first NSD today, and maybe a little bit or earning ;o (ebay day).. It's my first ever one so wish me luck!
Masses of luck for you, KoalaBear, I hope you got your first NSD today, fingers crossed.:)
Would you like to join us "officially", ie set yourself a target and work towards that? If so, you'd be very welcome, just let me know.
Good luck with whichever you decide

Woooooh it's friday, hoping to get a no spend day in today, think the OH is buying the vino for tonight
How has everyone been this week? I had a quick browse through the posts. Well done to everyone for getting lots of NSDs in already!! :T
Spoony can you put me down for 10 NSDs and 5 in a row please? I don't know if you had seen my previous posts cuz I know you have been poorly (hugs) I have already had NSD #1 on the 1st August so you can add that on too, hooray!
Looking forward to having a nice walk in the sunshine (free) a cuppa at my friend's house (free) and then an evening in with OH (free!!) :rotfl:
I will post later if it is a successful NSD today. TTFN
Hi suzitiger:hello:
I thought I was having a senior moment, I was sure you were already included on the front page roster .... and you are...phew!!!!!! Maybe I'm not losing my marbles just yet then!!:D:D:D:D
Thanks for my hugs, had a few bad days this week but feeling much better today, thanks xx:A
I love the sound of your free day, it sounds ideal to me and I hope you enjoyed it

Hi lovely gang:A
I hope you’ve all had a good Friday and manged the odd wiggle or two.:D
Another newbie joining up today, a very warm welcome to you, it's good to have you on board.
So a big welcome to:
:hello:TwoOfShdi - hi and welcome to the NSD challenge. All signed up for 10 now, good luck with getting there, you can do it! :T
You’re sounding very organised today, that’s the spirit!
Good luck with your first NSD challenge - keep posting, that’s the secret to success here.
Welcome back to another of our regulars, great to see you again:
:wave:lotti379 - all signed up for 8 now, you can do it!:T
Don’t worry, there are loads of potential NSDs left, you’ll get there. And I have to say that I agree with you re Batman, he was always my favourite too
Lots more NSDs rolling in today, well done everyone:
:j:j:jmarmite - for no 3, you’re doing brilliantly, keep going!!
Thanks for the abbreviation - it all helps! Hope you had a lovely day with some fab weather
:j:j:j*Mari* - for no 2, that’s a fantastic start to your first NSD challenge, never mind baby steps!! Keep going!
:j:j:jIf - no 3 in the bag now, yay!!!!!
Love the wiggle, it looks a bit energetic though!!:o
:j:j:jelfen - for no 4, woohoooo!!!!!
:j:j:jLittleMissHappy - no 3 in the bag now, that’s brilliant!!
Love your wiggle, that’s much more my style!! Hope you had a lovely day with your nieces and daughters
:j:j:jphoenix_dragon - for no 1, your first NSD in the bag, that’s brilliant!
Fingers crossed for lots more
:j:j:jSillyBlondie - for no 4, woohoooooo!!!!
Hope you enjoy the weekend
:j:j:jrising from the ashes - for no 4, woohoooo!!!!! And an even bigger woooooohoooooooooo to your hols!! Hope you have a lovely time
:j:j:jdannie - for no 5, that’s fantastic!!
I would think that 5 NSDs out of 5 days is a lot to report, well done you!!
:j:j:jIgamogam - for no 3, and 3 in a row nabbed as well. That’s a fantastic start for you, your prizlet awaits you on the front page now
:j:j:jDee5565 - for no 4, you’re doing brilliantly, you’ll be joining chris on his chocolate mini roll soon!!
I did tell you this becomes addictive, you’re hooked already, I can tell
:j:j:jSpendSpendSpend - and no 4 for you as well, that’s fantastic!! You’ll be joining chris on the mini roll soon as well!
Glad you like the prizlet, you’re welcome to change your target any time, but maybe wait to get no 1 first as you get a “proper” prize for that. I don’t think people believe it’s possible to spend nothing at all during a day until they have a go at this challenge, then it becomes addictive - but at least it’s a cheap habit to maintain!! Maybe you should point your colleague in this direction....
:j:j:jMattSS - for no 2, that’s a fantastic start to your first NSD challenge, keep going!!! And resist those chocs, you know you can do it!
:j:j:jcranbornekat - and no 2 for you as well, woohoooo indeed!!! You’re doing brilliantly, keep going!!
Eeek to the petrol tomorrow, I hope it doesn’t hurt too much
:j:j:jWee Pilsbury - no 3 in the bag for you now and your 3 in a row nabbed as well, that’s brilliant!! Your prizlet awaits you on the front page now
Fingers crossed for lots more
:j:j:jBDINI - no 3 in the bag now, that’s brilliant!!
Oh dear, sorry you’re not feeling brilliant today, take care (((hugs))) xx:A
:j:j:jbeanie - for no 5, that’s fantastic!!
I really hope you had a better day today, take care xx:A
:j:j:jFrodo - fingers crossed for your NSD, you’re certainly making an effort by taking your lunch into work
YAY!!! and you made it, no 3 in the bag for you now, that’s brilliant!
:j:j:jnicca - no 3 in the bag now, that’s brilliant!!
I think jinty had a much more fun afternoon with her cards than you had with yours by the sounds of it
And hello to:
jinty - that hot chocolate looks yummy!! Good news about the cards, hope you get lots made to sell:)
Pips Mum - thanks for making me feel a bit less queasy about my spend at Tatco on Wednesday:(
LittleMissHappy - I like your plans for while DH is away - if you’ve got any spare time I have a house that needs sorting out:T
Loobeyloop - oh dear, sorry about the missed NSD, but there are loads of potential NSDs left in August, you can do it!:)
And no 4 in the bag for me today so I’m a very happy Spoony
Off to update the front page now, see all you lovely people tomorrow
‘night everyone
