    It was not my intention to infer doing the daily update was a chore, more a case of the people doing it may come to consider it as such & then the thread disappear into the ether.

    The Updaters (inc the Whizz aka IF ;) ) all do a sterling job of keeping our little band of budgeteers informed :T & of course, it is absolutely free choice as to how they wish to do that & I shall never dispute that right.

    Am I forgiven cute-kitten-sorry-smiley-emoticon.gif even tho I had a spendy yesterday too *sniff*

    Nothing to forgive BM, don't be daft :naughty: We know you were only thinking of us and trying to help us out:A

    I've not been keeping track at all!
    I am guessing that i am up to 12NSDs, but that really is only a guess.
    I am going to abandon !!!!ing up the NSDs this month, and come back again in January i think!


    Don't give up :mad:

    Every NSD is a good un and who cares if you reach your target or not. It's all about being focused on staying in control. If you give up, you lose the control. :( And the pesky spendy days win :(
