    WELL DONE Tigzem;
    I'm so pleased for you!

    I'm up for another NSD today - I'm hoping to spend the day in the garden. I need to stay away from shops and the internet as I woke up feeling really down today :(
    Need to make sure any controls for pick-me-up impulse buys are in place :D

    Have a great day everyone and congrats again, Tigzem.

    Morning all - thanks for all the lovely congrats msgs..Awwww

    Bigpaws - sorry you woke up feeling down. Hope you feel brighter soon.

    I had a good NSD yest, other than food but that came out of food money. And I only came out of Morrisons with what I NEEDED, not WANTED! :T

    Did however use the car to drop my Mum to the airport as she's going to Prague til Mon to meet my brother, but she paid my parking.

    Got an Easter party for DD later, so another NSD for me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have a good one xxx

    Well done Nicola & Jamie on your no un-necessary spending :D

    I'd be Knackered if I was working the hours you're doing Nicola!!! All credit to you :T

    I managed to avoid temptation in the clothes sales up the town this lunch time and avoided temptation of buying lunch - I've brought food to work but the shop sandwiches looked so much nicer............ but I told myself NO!!!!!!!:naughty:

    Keep it up everyone
