Hi all, so many people reaching targets, it's inspiring.
NSD 8 for Thursday, had planned the big shop but felt exhausted so went to bed instead....only spend bus fare to get home, and that was form the bus pot so I'm not counting that.
That reaches my target, so I'm going to push myself and say please make new target 11, sure I could do 10, but 11 might make me think more. Can't believe I actually get to a till now knowing how much it is going to cost.Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.
Estimated DFD August 2018 - 2031 - now 2027 :T

Claiming today as NSD 13 as I don't feel like doing much or going anywhere. It's 20 years today since my beloved mother crossed over. Just sitting here with my memories.
Hugs for all that need them.

:)Thanks .... I am feeling a lot better in the last week :T so fingers crossed the corner's been turned:)
Going to bring Maisie home when I come back from M&Ds after Christmas :T - can't wait as have missed her loads .... feeling guilty too as she's settled really well there (which is good but YKWIM)
Hopefully 2 or 3 (very short to start with) walks per day should help build my strength back up as the slightest thing floors me just now
Modesty ((((hugs)))) ......
Have decided I'm going to keep counting - there's still 10 days to the end of the year, I can't give up already!:o
So ... No 13 today please

Hello all
Red - great news about your mum. You know they are back to themselves when they start getting mad at what they can't do. A great comfort before Christmas & your dad will just be happy she is ok (although a little frustrated!)
I am on NSD 16 today!!! 4 more to go! Tomorrow morning is the final food shop in prep for xmas. Remind me to get tin foil!!!! I already bought all of the meat so it's veg & herbs & bits and bobs really. Oooh rubber gloves... *puts it on the list* I am going in with a definitive list & will NOT be straying!!
Going to be a busy few days. I may not be able to check in. If not, hope you all have an amazing Christmas & the weather gets a bit better! This time 3 months ago we were in drought... :rotfl::rotfl: gotta love British weather!
TTFN!!!! xxx
