Chris81418 – NSD 22.:T Well done. :T You have done brilliantly this month.:)

Citizenkitten – All those NSDs caught taking you up to NSD #18. :T Well done.:T And what a bargain those earrings were. All good things come to those who wait.:)

Coolcats - NSD #14 all done and dusted. :T Well done and it sounds like you had a successful shopping trip too.:T

Donna d – You certainly are on your way to target with another 2 NSDs claimed taking you up to NSD #13. :T Lots of luck for some more.:T

Dragon – Spending time with Mr Dragon seems to be very good for the NSDs.:) You are up to NSD #23 now, which is just brilliant.:T

Fae – Ohhhhhh you are so close with NSD #17. :T Good luck for capturing that last one.:)

Headabove – You are doing just fine with NSD #6 claimed. :T Every NSD is a good NSD.:T

Kitschkitty – I have increased your target on the front page to 18. Good luck.:T

Silvasava – A brilliant NSD #11 and 3-in-a-row for you.:T Well done.:T

Spoony – A brilliant NSD #22 in the pot for you.:T And you can be as chatty as you like, I love chatty.:) It’s just a shame you do it at midnight when I am tucked up in bed or I would chat too. You must be an owl. I am definitely a lark.

*deep in thought, about skirts over home before buying any more* Sorry..didn't realise it was my turn.

I did the milkenbred schopp on Thursday in the end cuz the milk we had had gorn orf, so needs were definitely more important than wants (mumsie doesn't funtion too well without her morning cuppa ) but yesterday was a goodun.

21 for me please

yep wanted them to reward myself after getting a pay rise and new job. but though 99 was steep, then gold prices went up so they went up and i thought i will never get them, then about to go home after buying myself some boots i needed and thought, might just check what price they are in the sale.... £25!! IMAGINE my surprise and delight! so happy! this is what they look like

Ohhhhh very nice:D You've made me think now ... I honestly can't remember the last time I had earrings in:o (I have very long hair so you can't see them so kind of gave up a long time ago!) - I really must get some & stick them in!

So now no 22.
Very very windy here.

Snap! I ended up putting Dinky in the garage as could hear things blowing around outside :eek: (only done is really bad weather as she's a very tight squeeze (wing mirrors need to be folded in!) and is a nightmare to get out again! (will face that later!)

Hehe:rotfl:are there any others? :rotfl:


Not one today ...... been tempted by a new pair of boots for walking Maisie - not very exciting but they'll hopefully keep my feet warm & dry!

Will pop to C00P shortly & get some replacement crumpets (spoon they were past revitalising I'm afraid .... mouldy!)

IF

Got my 15th NSD and declare for December.
Thank you for my prize freeby :beer:
IF…x

Ohh, I know how your mum feels, I don't begin functioning until two cups of tea (avec caffeine, none of this decaff malarky) have been consumed. Prob stems from drinking tea from a very young age, perhaps not the best habit, but I can think of many more which are much worse.

Citizen - those earrings are a total bargain - well done & (as my dad would say) 'wish you well to wear them' xx

Rising - boots for walking maisie will be an investment - I might sound old saying this but you only get one pair of feet and whilst i don't mind donning a pair of impractical killer heels for a couple of hours on a night out, I would never 'scrimp' on activity shoes. Also means you're feet will be nice and toasty while you build your strength back up. x hope you got your crumpets ok - I must admit there is one brand I deff think are better than all the rest (thank fully my A$da do a 9 pack for £1) - although if they don't have them i revert back to SP ones - it's all or nothing with me :rotfl:

Well lades, gentlemen, Igor and Donkey's (Hubert that means you) - it's been a long time since I've been able to say this but yesterday was NSD #12 and TARGET MET :j:j:j

Freeby - we must be kindred spirits, you can't beat a good spreadsheet (I even have my 2013 tab set up on my Xmas gift list :eek:) Caught up with my spending diary last night (not quite as bad as I thought since pay day :A) although i have just remembered I missed off a couple of items. Felt like I was constantly at the cash point for the last few weeks of Dec :eek:

HOW is it nearly 2013 already? Actually i'm not a fan of new year - hate being felt forced that I must be out having a great time, paying to get into places you'd normally go in free (and spend money in - thus keeping them in business) any other day of the year, so many people spending yet more money they can ill afford to and then spending the next few months struggling to pay it off. Whoops...sorry...soap box away and exit stage left....

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had nice Christmases! I spent the 22nd-28th with my parents, so managed to clock up plenty of NSD's, so I'm currently on #16.

Now I need to clock up my grocery spends for the month... I think I may have gone over... but hopefully not by much.

Target reached, today makes 15 out of 15. Too wet to go out today, none of us can face the walk in the rain, and heavy at times. Will need to shopping tomorrow as need bread and a few bits, but we will be going to church so will go after. Then hoping monday will be a no spend so hoping for 16, one over target will be nice. I will be signing up for january as need to keep a check on spending now. This has kept me focused.
