    First day of the shortened NSD Challenge, and no spends today so NSD 1 for me.

    And I also found some left-over Euros in a spare holiday wallet and cashed those in this morning, so I'm actually in credit - result :T

    Yay.. well done for your first NSD Jelly Biactol :j:j:j:j.... and I have to say that I love your signature, I could apply that to a few people I have known in the past.... I'm more selective now:rotfl::rotfl:

    Please, please, please can you go to the front pages and check I have got your numbers correct :)

    I was updating the total nsd spreadsheet and realised I made a mistake with some of the update :o:o (too early in the morning)
    I think I have fixed it, but I would hate to be doing someone out of their richly deserved NSDs :o:o so if you can check and let me know if I've got you wrong.

    Thanks and I'm sorry :o:o

    Freeby :naughty: with the amount of work you're putting into the challenge this month you should not be apologising for a teensy weensy little mistake. We're all more than adult enough to check the front page from time to time.. and if we can't do that then there's no hope for us:D:D

    You're a superstar x :A:A

    Hi everyone:wave:

    I've just managed to catch up with the last three days' posts.... and it's taken a while:eek:

    Well done to everyone for all the NSDs being nabbed, I reckon we're going to exceed 1000 this month... which would be fantastic:j

    353bol3.gif to anyone who is feeling poorly, fed up, down in the dumps, snowbound, fed up with the weather or fed up with life in general ... I think I've covered everyone there:D

    Re NSDs, I'm currently on NSD no 10 so into double figures, yay:j:j

    I'll be back tomorrow evening with the update, in the meantime be good ;) and nab lots more NSDs:D

    Today have been trying to look at the positives I have gained from NSD's apart from the obvious keeping track of spending.(.I know how much a cup of tea costs me to make, what a meal costs, how far I can get on £10 of fuel), I also save loads of TIME :T as I no longer read through any emails which may tempt me, I just click on delete straight away. Even reading the paper is quicker as I don't check the adverts for bargains. :rotfl:Its not a bargain if you can't afford it. I watch TV programmes and listen to the radio instead of hours watching the shopping channels so don't wind the OH up as much.

    Hope everyone is keeping warm and dry, and only snow if you are someone who looks forward to it.

    NSD 5/15 for me , not 3 in a row yet but did manage 3 of the last 4 days, if I can keep that up I'll be very pleased.

  • Morning all,

    What a weekend we've had! It's been brilliant but expensive :D I'm looking forward to getting back to work and to chasing up a NSD or three this week.

    I haven't had chance to catch up with the thread but I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend.
