  • :j:j:j NSD #12:j:j:j

    Target reached. :j:j:j

    Now, I've been thinking, i am not going to increase my target as i am expecting a good few spend days as hubby back from Afghan at mo. But every one i get from now on will be an added bonus.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Decalring NSD # 12 today - I did spend £1 on some little cupcakes for OH b'day (although he bought us cakes home as a treat so he doesn't know about the cupcakes yet :shhh: ) but that was a planned spend carried over from yesterday (couldn't carry everything yesterday and ran out of lunchtime) Hope that's not bending the rules too much :o

    Was very good today, taken the evening off pole (to be with OH) so did an extra boot camp session :A

    Looking at changing household account from H'Fax (now they've put up OD fees) to 123 account - could make some worthwhile savings for us but have a few things to consider for the best way to do it - and the house acc is currently in OD and I'm not sure whether I could transfer that same limit to a new bank, although it might help I'm already a customer. Think I'll have to make an appt in branch and discuss options.

  • Got my 2nd NSD in a row so I now have 9, 3 to find in 7 days, can I do it?
  • Apologies for the late post but I had to work late tonight and then had dinner at my parents.

    I am in double figures and have reached 10 NDs and 3 in a row :D:D

    I have worked out why I am short on my credit card repayment for the beginning of March and it's because ............ I can't count :o :eek:just like I can't count how many no spend days I needed to reach my target. I have acquired an extra day and now need 5 of the next 7 days to be spend free so tonight I feel spoilt as I have 1 more day to play with :D Note to self: this does not mean I can go on a spending spree :D

    Hope everyone is well and keeping warm.
