Off to see the Hairy Bikers next year, can't wait.

Ohhhhh need to see how you do that ..... DM loves them (and so do I!), so it would be a great birthday present etc for her!:D

I didn't even realise that you could do that, thanks Kerri!:T

Rising, another MSEr (Knightingale I think) came up with the idea around this point of last year of paying yourself a xmas bonus by saving a set amount of money each week and spending it at xmas. I participated, but decided I didn't need a bonus, so decided on continuing to save for a new computer

Ahhhhh - I tried the £365 in 365 days challenge for that kind of things last year ...... unfortunately I had a mini-crisis (can't remember what:o), mid-year and ended up having to raid it ...... never quite got restarted!

Might try again next year!:D

All is still. NSD Towers stands silent and forbidding, no sign of life. A lone wolf howls nearby. A carriage draws up, and two figures climb out. One strides purposely to the front door, the other lopes behind with a twisted gait, carrying 12 suitcases, a set of chef's knives and an oak barrel.

Right, Igor, let's see if the door is still open to all callers. Yes, glad to see some traditions don't change. Look at the muck in here, though, obviously there's been a lot of NSD hunting going on, leaving no time for housework! There's Freeby's peg, with the big 50 above it, and Spoony's peg, with the spoon picture...and here's my peg, still waiting for my coat.

Right, Igor, on the Pledges board I want you to put me down for
10 NSDs for September.
Okay, whilst we wait for the gang to get back from NSD hunting, stoke up the fire, get a pan of aardvark stew on the stove and crack open the turnip Chardonnay.

The Nargle is back!!!

thank you beanielou, ifwisheswerehorses,marmite, modestyB, Munchin, rising from the ashes and stripey jumpergirl
for your support on my dream to hit 5 NSDS this month

however already a spend day but really good for me as I had to go M&S to buy my board some lunch, which means going round all the delicious food i love (especially the cherry bakewell trifle ) YUMMM! and not either eating it or buying it.... lol

I only spent 4.50 and this was for a healthy lunch (managed to dodge the desert isle like a pro) and some handwash (other people's germs phobic)

NSD 3 for me!

NSD 3 for me today.

Really noticing now how so many things are urging me to spend. The Superdrug sale nearly had me...I hoard things though, having a years supply of my regular toiletries already, and already decided Im making Xmas gifts this year so was just about able to talk myself out of going. Am taking myself off the Grabbit mailing too. And Groupon, Living Social... if I need anything, Ill go look, rather than have the offers come to me!

Saying that, I have a list of things that need purchased asap... roll on the end of my self imposed spending ban... (8am Friday morning)

debtbegone

Spent the grand total of just £5.50 today so I'm happy with that Aiming for NSDs tomorrow & Friday though!
