20 NSD's is probably too optimistic.
I will check in once I have figure worked out.
Lots of spending on winter prep, new MSE inspiration,Winter Dresses (the all in one way of dressing.. easy capsule looks) and other things that come to mind. So I don't know if I will make target this month although I don't think I have spent every day doing spending.
On another note I hope everyone is doing well despite the crap that Wild Capitalism heaps on us as it tries to grab at our most precious desirable thing-our money.:beer:#TY[/B] Would be Qaulity MSE Challenge Queen.
Reading whatever books I want to the rescue!:money::beer[/B

NSD number 7 came scuttling in yesterday, which was a bit of a surprise!“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”
NSD Challenge: August 2017 2/150 -
another NSD yesterday taking my total to 10 yee haw!:j Today won't be though as I need to buy milk and may pick up a few stocking fillers in town at lunchtime.
Good luck with your targets everyone! xxx0 -
Hi everyone, No 7 & 8 for Monday & Tuesday.
Made it back to work on Mon & it was OK - manged to last the majority of the day but was totally knackered yesterday.
Sorry to offload so please don't read on if you don't want to (I'll never know!)
Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life - DF was having surgery so was really worried about him naturally. He didn't have a good night but is thankfully much better this morning so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
Left work at lunchtime (think I overdid it a bit on Mon and my boss said I could go a bit earlier) and came home to find my old dog (Ben) unable to walk on one leg.
We went to the vet and the prognosis wasn't good as she thought he'd hurt his spine but she gave him strong painkillers and we were to go back for x-rays this morning.
We came home and cutting a horrible story short, the vet had to come and end his suffering last night.
I'm absolutely devasted and struggling with the suddenness of it - he was fine when I left yesterday morning ...... needless to say I'm off work today (which isn't great after being off all this time, although at least it's a "holiday" day).
At a loss of what to do atm.... house feels so empty without him here.
(yesterday has been declared a NSD as I haven't yet had the enormous vets bill that will no doubt follow.... but TBH it's irrelvant in the grand scale of things)
Anyway, I really hope I never have another day like yesterday & today in my whole life - very mixed feelings, huge relief that DF is going to be OK almost overwhelmed with losing Ben.Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

Thank you solventsoon
Managed another NSD yesterday! Worked so hard apparently that I got bought lunch. :j
Sadly (or luckily) my partner is on very high income, so he doesn't see the point of NSDs/not buying what you want. But (definitely luckily) it's because he lent me money in order to pay back loans etc that I'm on basically "no interest" loan at the moment... That really woke me up, and motivated me to pay it back asap. :embarasserising_from_the_ashes wrote: »Hi everyone, Anyway, I really hope I never have another day like yesterday & today in my whole life - very mixed feelings, huge relief that DF is going to be OK almost overwhelmed with losing Ben.

rising - so sorry to hear that, sometimes life just doesn't play fair does it
The only consolation is that he had a good life and didn't suffer for long at the end as many do
