    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.

    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.

  • I think that today is #17,no spends whatsoever today.

    red It can be very frustrating adapting to the new you.I hope your Mum continues to make steady progress.

    ModestyB a sad day for you.((hugs))

    rising ((hugs)) hope you turn a corner soon.

    I don't think I'll be back now til the end of next week.Good luck everyone getting more lovely nsds and hope you all have a relaxing and very enjoyable Christmas!:xmassign::xmastree::xmassmile:rudolf:
  • You're doing well rising, though you must be incredibly frustrated at how slowly you're progressing. It's hard to see progress in yourself but I think anyone reading your posts (and especially your diary) can definitely see you are making progress. You'll get there x
    rising ((hugs)) hope you turn a corner soon.

    :)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 :o


    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
