    Haven't posted for a while but I finally got my 9th NSD and tomorrow will surely be one too so I will hit my target.

    I'm so pleased with how little we gave spent this month and popping onto this thread, even if I've not posted as I haven't had a NSD, has really helped to kerp me on the straight and narrow - thank you!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Asda managed to deliver.
    So that was good.
    Some of their substitutions are funny~ a nail brush was OOS ~ substituted by a scrubbing brish~ my nails are not that dirty,honestly :rotfl:
    Came in under budget so NSD no 24 today.

    (Completely corpses with laughter at the thought of Beanielou scrubbing her nails with a scrubbing brush, followed by taking her makeup off with a Brillo pad and having a good wash down under the shower whilst being scrubbed with a yard broom......sorry, I'm sad like that...)

    Evening everyone, well not a NSD yesterday as expected as it was a friends b'day on Thurs (same day as OH) so was out for dinner last night, then out with OH for a few drinks after that - not too hard on the old wallet though (esp as I'd found a 50% off food voucher for the dinner :D)

    today wasn't a NSD as had a hair appt this morning -although that was planned so did consider not counting it but decided that was bending the rules. Now looks like tomorrow won't be a NSD as the new bag I bought from TKM two weeks ago is faulty - I've got the receipt and the tags but expect I'm going to have one hell of a fight trying to get a refund. While I'm out doing that I could also make use of my time and get cat litter from tacto (don't have it in my local) and hopefully put the car through the 99p offer at Shell (BIG birdy poos on my windscreen and my car really needs a wash)- although these will be planned spends, I kinda feel like I'm bending my rules again if I don't count them.

    So, if tomorrow is a spend that means mon - thurs have to all be NSD in order to hit my target :eek:

    NSD 20 for me today which is very surprising for a Saturday. At least the bad weather has some use.

    Hugs for all, keep safe and warm.

    Well done everyone for your achievements this month and good luck for Feb.

    Evening everyone :wave:

    Hope you've all had a good Saturday. (((hugs))) to anyone with lots of snow:eek: and/or feeling poorly:(.

    Just popping in to declare NSD no 21 nabbed today :j:j as I've been busy sorting the house out... early springcleaning I think you'd call it:D

    I'm going to have to bite the bullet and pay my tax bill tomorrow but.... for the first time ever ..... I'll have some money left after I've paid it so that will be deposited on the cc:j:j

    Thank you for my lovely prize freeby, I'm after the green bagpipe player next, he's cute:D
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
  • I got NSD 11 yesterday (oh : Friday I mean. Technically it's now Sunday!!) :j

    Had to pick up a book for my dad that he'd ordered, but he'd already given me the money for it :)

    Did grocery shopping with OH but that was within budget!

    Oooooooh yeah!

    Away off to sign up for February.... :D

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

    The front pages are all up to date again :)

    You will see that I have had to do a little bit of "pruning" and have had to split us :( We are doing too well for just one page :j

    I have taken out everyone who has not declared any kind of NSD at all so far this month. If this was you, then I'm sorry :o just let me know and I'll put you back in.

    I have reserved an extra page in the February thread so I don't have to it again :)
