    Jinty, I feel so angry on your behalf! You shouldn't be treated like this. Keep your head up, don't let the B's grind you down. Best of luck.
    Did it #15, yehhhhhh, had interview today, but not going back out, so going to declare my total for January, thanks you all for the fantastic support, my finances owe you one xxxxx:beer:

    ps: wish me luck, should find out about the job by the end of the week.

    Good luck with the job. Fingers crossed!

    Hi all, no more nsd's for me this month, went to Ald! yesterday and bought fruit today. DD wants to go to A$da tomorrow so I'm going to see if they still have any of the £2 fleeces, I bought 3 last week and they are perfect for the chair cushions especially with 3 dogs sprawling all over them. BTW, I'm not sure where to post this but Feb's Pr!ma mag has a free mascara and sample of L£nor on the cover. For £2.95 it looks like a bargain.

    Hugs to all who need one.
    Be Well.

  • NSD 13 today here for me. Tomorrow will be a NSD as well which will make it 14 out of my target of 15. Not bad for the first time I've tried. I have been really surprised about how hard it has been to do. I don't enjoy spending money and rarely go to the shops but it has taken planning and self control to get this far even without a shopping addiction!!!!

    Off to join up to the February challenge!!!

  • Sorry I have been AWOL for the last couple of days, I promise I will catch up on everyones posts.

    I had increased my target to 18 but unfortunately have not been able to catch anymore, as my son was admitted to hospital on Friday with appendicitis and it ruptured through the night, resulting in him having emergency surgery on Saturday. He is now on the mend and we are hoping he will be back home on Wednesday, but it has cost a small fortune in parking fees, use of bedside TV and taking him bits and bobs in. Not that I mind at all it just mounts up and means no more NSD's.

    Hope everyone is well, Frodo x.

    Afternoon all :hello:

    Big hugs for Jinty your supervisor is a twonk......think we girls will have to pay them a visit!!! sunglasses.gif

    I do love the word twonk, has a certain comedy value to it :rotfl: Oh and hang on, I'll come with you...in fact, how about a NSD outing to sort out Jinty's work issues?

    Well, drum roll...for the first time in a long time I have EXCEEDED my target! :j NSD # 13 in the bag - didn't even bother leaving the office today, it was too bloomin cold. I did have a massage booked today but took the money out for that last week - feel a little like that's cheating my rules but I didn't spend on anything else, and I didn't have a choice of day so I'm keeping my NSD :p

    Got an Amaz0n item to post tomorrow but not counting that as buyer has paid postage, can't think of anything else we need after big shop yesterday.

    Chilli was made for dinner tonight (according to my half cocked meal plan for the week...which is a step up from my usual not cocked at all meal plan :D) roast chuck tomorrow (treated us to one yesterday in the shop - gosh it's something when wine and chicken become 'treats' :eek:) making noodle soup with left overs (will require a spend for that on Wed or Thurs) and prob a chicken curry later in the week - have naan bread and rice sorted for that. Sometimes I'm so organised I scare myself. :rotfl:

    Oh must share this...was watching Superscrimpers on Sky+ with OH on Fri night...they got to the bit where they say 'and if you have a tip or want to be in the next series contact us at blah blah'...OH just turned, looked and me and said 'please don't' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    WooHoo - NSD 12 today - first month completed only 11 more to go!!
    I think tomorrow may be a spendy (DH says he needs more emulsion - dont ask) but I'm going for 12 again in February as its a short month
    Thanks to all for keeping me focused & helping me achieve my target :A
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle
  • Hey gang,

    Jinty - I really feel for you, I have totally been there. I'm so pleased I kept a diary when I was bullied by a previous manager. When the annual anonymous survey came round I used the open question at the end to detail dates, times and incidents. I have since been told by a manger in that team that this womans appraisal was pretty horrific viewing and she's got to buckle up her ideas. Anyway, all that was just trying to say karma does come back around and you're time will come. Big hugs in the meantime xx

    Today I bagged NSD 14 WOOPPPEEE Im so darned happy with myself this month! Thanks everyone who make this thread happen you really do keep me on track x
