A NSD for me today - Sunday- that makes No 4 out of 200

Good Morning,
Just reporting in with NSD #7 and 3 in a row so far.
May just get another one todayI have an ebay parcel to post but as the buyer pays the postage I don't count it as a spend. So as long as I can resist the chocolate in the Post Office all will be well
Have a great day everyone (even if it is Monday and my first full week at work since about November)

Good morning gang!
Reporting #6 for yesterday please!
Very quiet day yesterday, made soup for my packed lunches this week and just chilled and read my book.
Meant to say - glad to see you back IF - hope you're feeling better!
Back to work today, but again, I am going in for my proper time of 9am, so will see how it goes today!
you will always be rich enough to be generous.0 -
I'm so lax at reading/posting on a weekend, must try harder!
I would like to report NSD #4 for yesterday please! Not sure about today yet; the only thing I have planned for my lunchbreak is going to the bank to complain about the shocking charges they put on my account on Friday (which were allegedly cancelled at the beginning of December!), but we need some bits and bobs - may leave those till butcher visit day tomorrow though!
Pink x0 -
Today WILL be a NSD I'm sure - as I've worked out that once I pay for DD's guitar lessons, I'll have £80 left for the remainder of the month for food, petrol and general stuff. Thankfully the bills are all accounted for and the car is 3/4 full of petrol.0

Hi Spoon,
Just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement and for doing such long posts - it must take you ages!!:T
Someone asked if things take longer when you are trying to be MSE and I think they do a bit. I am finding that changing my thought patterns is taking time too. Having to think about when and where I spend money for instance, whereas I haven't thought that deeply about it before. Anyhow my OH is fully on board too so we are helping eachother!!
Not sure if today is an NSD day for me because I am working later, but I will try to avoid the temptation of the coffee shop
Hope everyone has a lovely day (even if it is a Monday!)My beloved Grandmas mottos::A "A penny saved is a penny earnt"; "Nothing's a bargain unless you need it" "Mend and make do" #
