    Grabbed another NSD yesterday, my first for the february target of 10 :)
    1/10

    Hi kerri

    Well done for your first NSD of February :j:j:j

    Please could you post on the February thread now otherwise your NSDs will get lost, and I don't want that to happen.

    See you over there

    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.

    Hi Frodo

    I'm so sorry to hear about your son, fingers crossed he gets back home tomorrow x

    Take care of yourself as well

    Hi lovely gang:A

    The front page is now updated, prizes awarded, NSDs updated and hopefully all the numbers correct.

    I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do an update here tomorrow as I have to do the February one. If I can't I'll be back here on Thursday. Don't worry I won't forget anyone and you will get your prizes eventually.

    'night everyone

    Good Morning and hello February :)

    Managed another NSD yesterday taking my total to NSD #25 :j It's hard to believe that I only spent on 6 days in January :)

    Thanks to spoon for all her hard work and to BDINI and LMH for their updates. This thread (and your dedication) has made such a difference to my finances (and my life) :T
    See you all in February.

    Have a brilliant Wednesday x x

    Good morning everyone

    I've not had a bad month coming in at 18/14 (4 over my target :j:j) for January.
    Also I managed to stock my cupboards and freezer to bursting point and still come in under my grocery budget:j:jso I am feeling quite positive at the moment.
    Its very chilly here and although we don't get much snow here I wouldn't be surprised from the colour of the sky so I am relieved to be stocked up and ready. I hope everyone is keeping warm and well fed (I can cope with most things but cold and hungry are the 2 things that make me sad and grumpy)

    Good luck to everyone for a frugal February
    Cuddles:)
