Well I spent today but only a small amount so not too bad. Am aiming for my first NSD tomorrow.
So up to now my tally is 0/12
Not too disappointed though aiming for 12 so got plenty of time to catch up.
Hope everyone else is ok!0 -
Can I go for 7 NSDs please? I want to get to 3 targets and nab that pumpkin pie!
No NSD today, had to do some food shopping. Must check the state of the bank account.“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”

Not one for me today, scuppered by the usual Monday night drinkies - good job really as i nearly forgot grandma's birthday, so had to buy a birthday card too.
That's it now though, other than a bus to college tomorrow night (am staring my new language course, woo hoo!!), & bus fare is my only allowed spend, so i should be good for a run of NSd's until Friday... fingers crossed!!February NSD challenge 5/150 -

Hello to:
Pickle - I take it you weren’t keen on the idea of bat curry then... I’m sure Igor can rustle up something equally tasty for you. I think he’s doing something with pumpkins this month according to kerri... not quite sure what he’s doing though:eek:
sf - hope the shopping wasn’t too spendy and good luck for this moth, you can do it
MuffinTops - oh dear, sorry about your missing breakfast but there are loads of potential NSDs left, you can do it. Well done for being organised with your spends:T
Frugal Saver - well done for keeping your spends to a minimum and for taking back that impulse purchase - you’re learning
OodNood - oh dear, sorry about the car problems. I think cars run by magic as well, OH is trying to convince me otherwise but it’s not working..... At least it’s sorted now
L2B - I love accidentally going out for lunch, that sounds like fun. Hope you enjoyed it:)
mrs motivated - oh dear, sorry about the dentist appointment, but it would have cost you more than that for a missed appointment fee I guess. Hope it was just a painless checkup
Nargle - Good luck for the rest of the week, you can do it. Hope the spends today weren’t too unexpected
Spending Vs Saving - there are loads of potential NSDs left this month, you’ll get there.
Good luck with getting 3 NSDs this week, you can do it... believe me Igor’s bat curry is something you would not want to try:eek:
EverTheOptimist - we all deserve a little treat occasionally. Well done for being organised with the rest of the spends today and good luck for the rest of the week
missyv - don’t worry, there are loads of potential NSDs left this month, you’ll get there.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you
oopsadaisydoddle - well done for keeping your spends today low, that’s the way to do it. You’re right, there are loads of potential NSDs left this month, you’ll get there
BDINI - hope you enjoyed you drinkies tonight. Good luck with the language course tomorrow, hope it goes well :A Being nosey here - what are you learning?
beanie - supplies at fat club are allowed, how are you doing?
Giggles86 - well done for offering to organise the refreshments, shame that scuppered an NSD though.
Good luck with the interview tomorrow, fingers crossed :A
Sorry everyone, that was a bit long:o
