    Hi All,

    Not been around much, not even updated my own diary whoops, but have managed a stonking 17/15 NSD this month, and am pleased with myself. Having x number of days in a row doesn't work for me because I feel like I am putting undue pressure on myself, so I am going to stick with the straight NSD challenge in May.

    Hey all,

    Sorry I wish I could offer some help to run the NSD thread but I find it hard enough to get on just to update my own!

    Feel like the weekend has passed me by in a blur, as I was working on Saturday and at gym/band most of yesterday! Must get cracking on my college work, and 3 sets of accounts for people, and setting up my cross trainer next weekend (phew tired just thinking about it :o)

    Anyway I got NSD 15 on Saturday, I dunno if I'll hit target, I tried a dress on on Friday but needed bigger size and tempted to buy off website today as only 1 left, we'll see!

    JCG x

    Edit: Dunno when I got NSD 14, Thursday?!

    Hi again, I will be trying very hard next month tom do better but I am declaring NSD number #2 early as i shouldn't need to spend today so I won't, I do need to pay for the hall hire for my class tonight but as it is coming out of my business account and the money is there ready I'm not counting that as a spend :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Well .... didn't quite make my 2nd target (only 12 too:o) - however, I did manage to get a bouncing bunny for hitting the first one (10:o:o) so reasonably happy (loads of birthdays in April so glad it's over!).

    Have managed to totally muck up my budgets (mentioned previously so won't go into it again) and will def be in the OD again this month:eek: - due a refund from ISP but not through yet so will need to pay for it or get interest lumped on the whole cc balance :( which is a bit of a pain (balance is rather large too :oso it would be a fair bit added)

    Have money in pots (trying to budget for the 1st time ever!) which would cover the OD but don't want to go down that route as a) it's a slippery slope to go down and b) I'd have to massively overpay the pots (already having to do this with some anyway to get to enough by due dates IYKWIM) to catch up. Not sure if this means I'm still DF or not .....

    Thanks Beanielou - fingers crossed.

    Bit down about it - I know it's nothing compared to what others have to cope with so sorry to all for moaning.

    Aiming for a very frugal May and hopefully I can recoup some of it.
