    marmite - well done for your fabby 20 NSDs :j and good luck with your new budget for August, hope it works out well for you:)

    Sorry if I've missed anyone meeting their targets on Monday but I haven't got time to check the front page for any targets not on signatures

    Woo hoo, managed to sneak that last one in today, so number 15 & target met!! :j:j

    Did pay the window cleaner for the last 2 months today, but as i had the money put to one side i'm not counting that!

    Right off to sign up for August :D
    February NSD challenge 5/15
  • :o sorry - way behind on the thread!:o

    Was never able to log-in at work but we could get on to read (so used to catch up at lunch) ..... not anymore!:( No access to the site at all now :mad:

    Fat club seems to be taking over my life :rotfl:- honestly, I loathe cooking during the week (and actually find it really hard due to medical conditions) and always batch cook so I can just have a HM ready meal from the freezer .... tonight - made soup, made mail meal & made jelly:p
    Better bloomin' work is all I can say :rotfl:

    Anyway, no more NSDs to add for me:o - need to get a grip on these new recipes as seem to be popping to the Co*op for a missing ingredient every day :eek:

    Have hugely overspent this month :o (actually the last couple as well, but they were mainly Maisie costs) - need a very frugal August to try to recoup some of it but I'm on hols for a week at the end of it :eek:

    *sigh* - sorry bit of a ramble there :o ignore me!:)

    Well done for all the NSDs today:

    :j:j:jfreeby - no 26 in the bag for you, that’s a brilliant total, well done you!! I guess being on holiday for a week helped with that ginormous number but, even so, it defintely deserves a few of these:j:j:j
    And fingers crossed for no 27 as well.....:)

    :j:j:jFae - no 21 in the bag for you now, well done, that’s a fabby total. Is that 10 in a row as well?:)

    :j:j:jOoDNOod - no 27 in the bag for you, another brilliant total, well done you!:)




    Hello to:

    firestronaut - keeping my fingers crossed that you got one today despite thinking that you wouldn’t. I like your thinking though, you can go for NSDs with a vengeance during August:)

    Red - :eek:... more direct debits, but good news on the bargains during the month. Hmmm.... I spy the “X” word being used again in July, you’ll be on the naughty step with Kerri and Pips Mum if you carrying on doing that you know :naughty: :rotfl:

    Pips Mum - good news on the photos, they sound very bargainacious indeed, and will be a lovely record of the three of you :T

    rising - oh dear, sorry you can’t catch up at work any longer, that’s not good:( Hopefully you’ll get into a routine with the new menu and sort yourself out before much longer, fingers crossed:) Good luck for August and hope Maisie is still on the mend x
    Don’t worry, you ramble away, you know we’ll always listen:A

    marmite - no worries, I quite like doing the occasional update :) Well done for your brilliant total this month and hope it’s started to cool down a bit in Europe:A


    And no 24 in the bag for me today:j:j I've been a really good Spoony over the past few days:D and managed to resist lots of lovely new shiny things.... but I might go a bit mad tomorrow to make up for it :o:o :D

    Hope I haven't missed anyone and, again, apologies if I've missed anyone's targets.

    'night everyone and see you all on August's thread
    spoon xx
