    Hello all :hello:

    I'm so sorry i missed last weeks update, I do hope you'll forgive me???

    It's been a rough couple of weeks, things got that bad at work that i had a bit of a breakdown & am now signed off. For the first week i literally couldn't face talking to anyone at all, which i why i have been awol, but i've had some TLC off my fabby dad & am starting to feel slightly better now, thank goodness!

    I have to admit i've got no idea where i'm up to with my NSD's, i've probably beat target seeing as i've barely left the house, but counting has been at the bottom of my list of things i needed to do, so think i'm just going to abandon this month & start again in December.

    Anyway, update time, so watch this space it shall follow shortly....


    Absolutely no need to apologise. It sounds like you have been going through a rougher time than any of us imagined :( Take good care of yourself and don't even think of going back to work until you have gotten much much better. Lots of daddy hugs will do the trick :)
    Come on here and rant away to your heart's content, we'll be right behind you all the way. Remember we can always organise that posse if you still need it :rotfl:

    Morning :)

    NSD #24 today! Only 1 more to go until i reach my target.
  • BDINI - Sorry to hear that work is being awful at the moment. I have been in that situation in the past, and I understand completely how awful it can feel.

    Just continue to be incredibly gentle with yourself, and let yourself know that it's absolutely okay to feel rotten. I hope everything starts to work itself out soon.
    Because it's fun to have money!

    butdoineedit - I'm so sorry to hear how bad things have become. I hope you start to feel strong enough to really feel better soon. x

    I hit my target! Yesterday was an accidental NSD, taking me to NSD 15.

    It was accidental because I met a friend for a coffee. We decided he'd pay on his card as he had other stuff to buy in the shop and I'd give him the cash for my coffee. Then I completely forgot!!! :o I'm so embarrassed I feel a bit ill as he may have needed the change! He even gave a hint which went way over my head! Oh the shame!

    So, today I'll transfer cash into his account and apologise making me only hit target rather than exceed, but December is a new month so new challenges ahead! Yay!

  • This last NSD is proving to be elusive - hopefully will catch it today :).

    Went food shopping on Tues and found a xmas present yesterday that I've been keeping an eye out for so that got rid of yesterdays chance. On a plus side - I discovered 90p in a coat pocket I've not worn for ages which paid for my drink at climbing so although it was not a NSD it was a pretty cheap day :D

    Sounds like time out is the best thing for you. And take as much time as you need. I have went through that before too and getting signed off work was the first step on my road to recovery.

    It's great that you've your fab dad for some TLC :D

    Onwards and upwards :)

    Hi, am I too early for planning for next month??
    I would love to sign up for some no spend days in december. It will be a tough month as we are on holiday for a week and I still have pressies to buy, but I hope that by setting myself a target, I will think more carefully before I spend.
    I wont incude direct debits and rent, but will include any payments I make that are not essential to running the house.
    I will set my target at 10 NSD's.

    Target met.
    💥PAYDBXMAS22  #11 £5000/£5000 target met.
    PAYDBXMAS23 #26 £5000/£5000 paid

  • I had another NSD yesterday so that makes 13 for November.
    Today and tomorrow both have spending in them so that's me for November

    Looking forward to December:)
