A ginormous jump into 2012 with the January NSD challenge

sirish1979

Hi All,

Had my NSD 3 today :j:j:j

Was so tempted to get a take away after my class at 9pm. Had to control on my tempting a lot :mad:

NSD #2 today! Really struggled resisiting the temptation for a lovely hot chocolate at work but thankfully worked my socks off to distract myself Yesterday was technically a spendy day but went shopping and got paid for most of the things I bought (they were massively reduced but still went through the tills with the multibuy saving still being taken off!) , so I was pretty happy with that

Rising I hope you find a new companion soon.

We had to get our old girl put to sleep in November and we really miss her. The house is not the same without the big warm welcome your always sure off when you get home.

We hope to get a German Shepard when we get home from visiting my Dad in Melbourne, it wouldn't be fair beforehand. Not sure wether to get a pup or a dog slightly older.

Sending you hugs, Frodo.

And hello to:

Pink_Giraffe - oh dear, a spendy day but good news about the reasonable spend at the butchers. Hope you got some ideas from the OS board for the hock and trotter

flying_fresian - fingers crossed for today.. OK, but you did get loads of bargains.
That’s not cheating at all, you make your own rules to fit in with whatever spend area you’re targeting. If it works for you and helps you, that’s fine by me, and probably everyone else I’d guess

jinty - just think no more work until Monday and lots to look forward to, woohooo!!
Hope the work to rule went OK today?

ab.da54 - this thread is definitely moving quickly this month.. Great bargain on your shopping yesterday, well done. Fingers crossed for your next NSD tomorrow, you can do it. Good luck with the healthy eating plan

Kittikins - oh dear, sorry about the expanding shopping list, mine tend to be like that as well. Wow you did really well with your haul, you must have got some bargains there

Jazee - sorry about the spendy day but you’ve got off to a great start so far, you’ll get going again

beanie - hope the hospital visit went OK x

zafiro1984 - one NSD is infinitely better than no NSDs so no beating yourself up. There are lots of days left in January, plenty of time left to nab the little gems

dumpy - oh dear, sorry about the spendy day, but well done for buying the liquid gold and paper on the same day. Keep going, you’ll get there

Nargle - and another brilliant post from you. Fingers crossed for lots more NSDs


phew ... hope you're still awake at the end of that:o


I'll update the front page tomorrow

'night everyone
