    Don't beat yourself up, think positive. Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to try again. Plus we're all here to support you. Take me ok I had 2 NSDs but I feel like I cheated cause I got hubby to pay ;). Plus also see the real positiv all your spends were budgeted and you successfully avoided frittering which is the main objective.
    Thanks its just everytime i try hard things crop up and, now my grandfathers been taking into intensive care.:( So am having to spend today to go see him which obviously i don't, mind but am determined to have a nsd tom.

  • Hey all,

    Just popping by to report my first spend day of the month (£5.36). I'm pooch sitting for my brother this weekend and his cupboards are bare so I had to head to asda to get some supplies. He was very sweet, leaving me a pizza and some beers, but I'm here for 3 days!! LOL :rotfl:

    Should be no spends for the rest of the weekend as I'm just sitting in with the doggles and enjoying a 2 hour Dave Grohl fest on scuzz! :T

    Happy weekend to you all xx

    Was teetering on going out and buying some books I'd seen in a second hand book store in town which were WAY cheaper than anything online...

    Then I thought - NO! I have LOADS of unread books... So instead I made soup! Used some of the veggies I had in for carrot and coriander soup and then made the base stuff for a lentil and halloumi salad later on (had the halloumi in already!) using up tomatoes and lemons that were on the verge of being chucked out! Feeling very thrifty and pleased that so far have managed a NSD!!!

    Hope everyones doing well with NOvember!!

    I am here to claim my 3rd NSD :D

    Unfortunately tommorow will be a spend day for me as I have my weekly shop to do (including a Birthday present) and I'm also off to Alton Towers :) Tickets already paid for, but I have set money aside for the day as well just incase.

    Thanks Candy :)
    She thought i was insane for even trying it, and almost died of shock when i told her my weekly shopping bill was no more than £60..she said she spends about £150 a week for her, her husband and 14 yr old, and thought i was starving my kids to death...hardly!
  • Hi All,

    Reporting in with NSD#3, been in all day. Wee boy has came to stay for the night and has brought lots of sweets from his halloween night, so a free feast is happening lol.
    Next spend day will possibly be Monday for milk and bread.

    So all in all, its going quite well.

    Enjoy rest of your weekend everyone.
