Evening all,
Haven't even opened my purse today so I'm reporting in with number 5. Woooo hoooo! Gonna be a spendy tomorrow need to leave my Dad £10 for petrol (we share a car) but hopefully get another on Wed or Thur.
Everyones doing so well and I can't believe its payday 1 week on Wed, August has went so fast!
Congrats all,

NSD 13 for me today.
I did spend money, on a tennis lesson, but I'd put the money aside for it last week so I'm not classing it as a spend. I remembered to take my own drink with me as well which meant I wasn't wasting money.
Fingers crossed I can make it to Friday without spending then it'll be a major spend day as it's payday!Aug NSDs: 18/[STRIKE]6 [/STRIKE] [STRIKE]15[/STRIKE] 18
Sep NSDs: 16/15
Oct NSDs: 16/15
Nov NSDS: /18
I'm a newbie so if I do something wrong or don't do something please let me know so I can learn.0 -

Sorry JCG, meant to comment on this before now, i just wanted to say don't give up hope, i thought i would be permanently single too, after 6 totally man free years, but it will come when the time is right, even if it does feel totally weird & i have no idea what to do being so out of practise (no i don't mean that!!) :rotfl:
I'll keep my fingers crossed you're next!!solventsoon wrote: »BDINI - good news about the pub outing, it’s been ages since you treated yourself and, speaking of which, great news about the dress, that’s a bargain!A bit later in logging on today. Was feeling a bit yuk this morning so I went back to bed. Still not feeling 100% but it will pass!
Great news about the dress BDINI - it's an investment really!;)
Aww thanks guys, i was still feeling a bit guilty about spending, but feel so much better now
Hope you're feeling a bit better now Jinty?
(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) Beanie, hope the funeral wasn't too hard for you?
Number 11 today :j Spent the whole evening filling in an application form for a job i don't even think i'm qualified enough to get, but hey ho i have to try!!February NSD challenge 5/150 -

Hi lovely gang :A
And another Monday bites the dust, thank goodness, hope it hasn’t been too bad a day for everyone:)
Lots more NSDs rolling today, well done everyone, and beanie made her second target as well:T:
:j:j:jLoobeyloop - for no 9, that’s brilliant. You’re over halfway to your target, that’s something to be proud of!
Please don’t say you’re no good at getting NSDs, 9 is quite an achievement, it means you haven’t spent on nearly half of the days in August.... think about that x
:j:j:jsf - for no 8, you’re doing great now, keep going
Hope you’re feeling a bit better now?x
:j:j:jelfen - for no 13, only 3 more to get now, you can do it!
:j:j:jjinty - for nos 12 and 13, nearly there now, you can do it!
Sorry you’re feeling a bit yuk today, hope the extra kip helped to make you feel better xx
:j:j:jsqueeeek - for no 3, nearly halfway there now, you can do it!
You’re sounding very organised, I’m impressed and no probs re the encouragement, I hope it helps x
:j:j:jchris81418 - for no 15, that’s brilliant, the chocolate mini-roll is still rolling I see!!
:j:j:jmarmite - for no 13, only 4 more to get now, you can do it!
Sorry you’re suffering from the heat, Europe can be stifling in summer, I’ve been there in August and it’s not pleasant, take care and stay inside in the cool x
:j:j:jrising from the ashes - for no 8, only one more to get now, you can do it!
Holidays are great, it’s just the spends they entail which are bad, hope you enjoyed the time off though?
:j:j:jRed - for no 13, only 4 more to get now, you can do it!
:j:j:jshezam - oh dear sorry about your spendy weekend, they happen sometimes. Fingers firmly crossed for lots of NSDs this week and your target, you can do it!!
And no 5 in the bag for you now, that’s fab! Over halfway now, keep going!
:j:j:jSpendSpendSpend - for no 13, only 2 more left to make your second target, that’s impressive!
:j:j:jfedupandskint - for no 11, nearly there now, keep going!
:j:j:jbeanie - for no 18 and your second target tumbles, that’s fantastic!:j:j:j
Awarding your second prize now, would you like to try for another target?
:j:j:jBDINI - for no 11, your target is getting ever closer, keep going!
Don’t feel guilty about the dress, you deserve a treat every now and then x:A
You’re right about the job, you have to try or you’ll never know, fingers crossed for you x
And hello to:
Lily_The_Legend - fingers crossed for no 13 today, you can do it!
Good news on the jumper, pleased you could change it and well done for thinking ahead to Friday, I’m impressed. If you’re not happy with the way things are going you can always change your criteria for an NSD next month, a lot of us have done so x:A
iwanttogoonholiday - hope today’s spends weren’t too serious and fingers crossed for an NSD tomorrow:)
dannie - well done for sticking to your planned spends today, that’s impressive:T
No 17 in the bag for me today, woohooo.... but only because I forgot to buy what I was supposed to buy today.. doh!!!!:o That means I’ll have two spendy days in a row now:o:o
Off to update the front page now, see all you lovely people tomorrow
