2 spend days to report.

first i cant shift this cold so had to buy something else to try.

Second i had to do food on sat but on a plus note i have managed to convince myself i don't require new clothes for a weekend away (already paid for ) by dragging everything out on to the bed to show i have way too many things saving me a small fortune!! (them little spending devils in my head need to vanish fast).

Just received some late xmas money so this is going to be used on hair cut as my treat.

Enjoy rest of your weekend

Hi If, it's good to see you back. Glad you're feeling better.

Hi lovely gang:A

Well as I was “indisposed” Friday night following slightly too much wine (white, Red) I now have 7 pages to catch up on so stand by for a mega-mega update. If you’re awake at the end of this you can have an extra prize

Feel free to join in with the chat and general nonsense on here, we’re fairly tame (well, most of the time, if you humour us). Good luck with your first NSD challenge - keep posting, that’s the secret to success here.

ab.da54 - I’m pleased you think the challenge is helping and making you think more, that’s definitely the aim

iwanttogoonholiday - I think you’ve probably had lots of answers already but for what it’s worth I count all online shops on the day I actually buy something except for food shopping which I count on the day it’s delivered. Hope that helps

catslovelycats - oh dear, sorry to hear you’ve been signed off for two weeks. You’re not having much luck recently with the fridge and now the house alarm, hope things change for the better for you soon x

Good Morning

Would just like to report NSD #6 for yesterday please.

Planning to do some ebay listings today so hopefully I will be making money instead of spending

miss_t_2

Just to update on my NSD's, Friday turned into a spendy day as I needed to get petrol, so I went shopping too instead of going today.

However yesterday I stayed in so I managed to get NSD#5.

BigMummaF

Hadn't better be too long as Mutha's up & out in the lounge with a cuppa. She thinks I'm still asleep--not that I'm trying to avoid her (much )--but she keeps asking why I get up so early if I'm out there first :doh: You just wait! I'll go sauntering out after hitting 'send' here to face a barrage of sarcasm about being a lay-about You gudda larf incha, or I'd be Kate Winslett on pepper spray....

A double :T after yesterday's supreme efforts cleaning through ma's place (good hoovering & skirting-board clean as it's not dirty-dirty :eek: I hasten to add!) cuz it brought tired mus-kuls from a decent aerobic work-out as a bonus to nsd no 4 *runs around bedroom with jimmy-jammy top pulled over head, arms raised akimbo silently screaming, footie fan stylee* **soon straightens attire to grab dressing gown, making mental note to keep vest on tonight**
