The “how many paydays ‘til Xmas” November NSD challenge

Decluttering

NSD #8 yesterday and NSD #9 today if my calculations are correct.

Evening all! just back from dance class, we have a showcase at the end of dec and very little rehersal time yet, i am praying both my routines (one being a double) come together in time.

Jinty - well done on the weight loss, and how lovely of OH treating you to your boots, you well and truly deserve them x

Keiss - glad you're starting to feel better, just take things easy, it's a bigger op than people realise (I learned this from 'nursing' OH - actually I ended up away on business just after and feel bad about it to this day )..although my nursing skills streatch to 'so if you've broken your leg, hop to A&E on the other' :rotfl:

Pipersky - feel free to rant / bore us on here as you see fit, esp if it saves you from the trifle

Well not NSD for me, needed cat food for one (apparently the little blighters need feeding EVERY day - didn't say that on the instructions, oh wait, she didn't come with any :rotfl:) also bought bread, eggs (Mr T do 6 mixed weight free range for 89p, good deal and I don't care what size they are when I'm dunking my soldiers) and some bananas - total spend £5.55

Oh, also ordered some trousers as part of my mum's xmas present using the M&S 25% off offer, plus free delivery. Saved myself nearly £10, plus got 6.06% cashback on T*pcashback :j also sold something on Am*zon tonight so all good.

Talking of which, have a fleabay item to finish packing and book a courier for tomorrow, so offsky for me. night all x

Not a NSD for me today, but I have bought:

• Mr Fresian's last Christmas present
• Cat litter
• Vastly reduced venison sausages (64p a pack of six!)
• Petrol for Fred
• Dinner out with some good friends (less than a tenner)

I bought the cat litter & petrol so that tomorrow I can try my hardest to get my final NSD of my target in - and then I can try and get more

Oooooh yet again not a NSD as my sandwich i made for my lunch at job no.1 was vile and made me feel a bit ill so I got a sausage roll from greggs instead spendy spend spend not good, so I bought chocolate on the way home from my class this evening to cheer myself up haha. Ummm hpoing to get one tomorrow even tho its payday!! I will be making some debt payments as extras but i have decided not to count these as a spend as its for a very good cause (and one of the reasons i do NSDs in the first place) so other than that hoping nothing will be spent. Night all, Happy Friday for tomorrow. I will be wiggling in the morning

No 13 and 14 NSD's
However, I can see some heavy expenditure looming. Daughter came to look after the house for a weekend - dishwasher doesn't work and the dryer now seems to be having a bad day, as in, it's not heating and keeps turning itself off. I'll get the local electricians in - hope they can do something if not a deep breath to replace them.
Just given OH my Cristmas list maybe I should take it back and just ask for a new dishwasher instead, nothing fancy just a basic model. Also I've just waited until he has gone to bed and then hung the clothes on the radiators - he hates them being there so I'll have to get up first in the morning to remove them before he sees them.
Such is life!!!

Tpoday was no 16 I think.

Beanie - my Asda has a little booth with a very nice lady who does the price checker thing in-store. I think they've realised that not everyone has access to a computer ( like my M&D for example) Might be worth investigating? HTH x

Zafiro - If you have to replace your DW and dryer, how about checking out freecycle? You might get them for free if you're lucky and would tide you over meantime ?

Pipersky - this may be too late but................

Good morning all!

Gosh, I feel tired this morning! I think this week is catching uo with me!
Busy day ahead - zumba this morning then tonight I'm helping out at a concert in our church. We are doing it "cafe style" with tables and candles etc and I am serving the coffee etc. I am looking forward to it as the girls I am on with are a good laugh!

I shouldnt be spending though, so I am hoping for a NSD.

Mastered the pedometer yesterday, now I'm checking it every two minutes to see how many I've done! Yesterday was 4,666 steps and that was only from lunch time! Dog doesnt know what's hit him!LOL!

Anyway - it's Friday!

Have a lovely day everyone!:)

My pedometer broke Thankfully WeightWatchers are going to replace it, but I'm missing having it at the moment. I normally walk around 2 miles a day just at the office thanks to my printer being pretty far from my desk, but I like having it at the weekend to spur me on to exercise. Not sure I'll be leaving the house this weekend though if the weather forecasts are accurate :eek:

I will be having a NSD today. There is nothing I need/want in any of the sales online and they're just there to tempt me anyway

Dinner was made in the slow cooker yesterday so I don't need to go to the shops, and I always come home at lunchtime and make something for myself so I don't have to spend.

I will hit my NSD target today
