    marmite - hope you enjoyed your day off and managed to get out for your icecream by the lake

    I didn't leave the house,which certainly helped me not spend.I'm well trained now not to do any internet shopping on an nsd day.;)

    I got loads of decluttering done.:D

    End of Month NSD Report July
    Sf has achieved a satisfactory level of nsds this month, showing a goodly awareness of what is expected from the Project.
    However, she should be mindful of the ethos of NSD & reaquaint herself with the established vocabulary contained there-in.
    Overall Effort...A* Well Done, SF :)
    Vocabulary...Z -Must try harder :(

    Declaring NSD number 1 today.

    I used the little pot technique so didn't "pay" for Pips Surestart today as I "paid" for it into a pot the other day when I was on a spendy day anyway. See I'm learning from you all!!!

    ;););)

    So yesterday was #1!

    I knew today was another dd day,so got a wee bit of shopping on the way,oh and I've bought something on @mazon.

    I don't think tomorrow will be one either as I'm down to my last 2 bags of sugar!:eek: I do like to have a goodly supply of such items,what with me being a glass half empty kind of person.

    Well done everyone btw.

    Bah, this month is not getting off to a good start for me - had to stock up on cotton wool from Sainsbobs (princely sum of 1.96 but still a spend) on the other hand, I did grab a couple of bits in Tacto this evening, price before offers and coupons, £30, price after offers and coupons £3.97 :j:j Nothing very exciting, just cat food (doubled up a £5 cc voucher on the summer xchange) some dishwasher tabs (already 1/2 price), cat treats, milk and rolls but still, not a bad lot :D Pack of dishwasher tabs is for my mum as she's always sending me away from hers with bits n pieces. :A

    ....I'm going to the hairdressers for the first time in 10 years :eek: (nervous) and did my fruit veg top up shop too....
    Anyone else have a sudden desire to grab the fruit bowl & start dancing around a la Carmen Miranda *swishes flannelette nightie & attempts standing on one leg flamingo-stylee* Oh lay!

    Was tempted & found wanting when I went for the (budgetted!) local rag, grabbing tomorrow's chip paper & another bottle of diet lemonade to help pass the marathon that is soaps night tonight *sigh* Still, tomorrow is another day n'all that.
    Nite-nite.

    Well no NSD for me yesterday as I needed new inner tubes for my bike and needed to take the bus home. None again today as I'm going to the hairdressers for the first time in 10 years :eek: (nervous) and did my fruit veg top up shop too. So hopefully tomorrow :p.

    Will catch up later on posts, have a nice day

    P.S. thanks for all the motivational posts about stopping smoking.
    Hope you're pleased with the brand new haircut thriftylass and a belated well done for giving up smoking..... you can do it
