    Freeby will award your prize tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed for another one or two by the end of the month and it’s great to hear that the challenge is making a difference to you

    Well done to:

    :j:j:jarmchairexpert - a brilliant NSD no 14 to add to the total, well done you, and fingers crossed for no 15 tomorrow. It’s good to hear that the challenge has made a difference

    :j:j:jbeanie - and amazing NSD no 26 grabbed now, you’re doing brilliantly as always. Glad to hear that you were spoilt today with the coffee, you deserve it

    :j:j:jCandlewick - a brilliant NSD no 14 to add to the total and a big YAY to 4 in a row as well, that’s fantastic! I think we may have warned you that this challenge is addictive. Well done for the no smoking, you’re doing brilliantly there as well.

    :j:j:jcouldsavemore - yay to a brilliant NSD no 22 in the bag, you’ve done so well this month you should be pleased

    :j:j:jfloella80 - woohhooo for NSD no 6, well done you. Don’t beat yourself up too much about not making your target, there’s always next month

    :j:j:jflowerofscotland - a brilliant NSD no 16 and you’ve beaten your target, well done.:T Freeby will award your second prize tomorrow morning

    :j:j:jflubberyzing - a fabulous NSD 19 in the bag now, that’s brilliant. Sorry you had a trying day, you moan away if you need to, we’ve got broad shoulders... Glad you got the bins emptied finally, I was meaning to ask you that as well

    :j:j:jgreenanne - woohhooo for NSD no 6, well done you and yay to getting back into the habit of organising your spends

    :j:j:jJellyBiactol - yay for NSD no 12 nabbed today, that’s brilliant.

    :j:j:jkatholicos - a brilliant NSD no 16 to add to the haul, that’s fantastic.

    :j:j:jkerri - a fabulous NSD 13 in the bag now, unlucky for some but definitely not for you.

    :j:j:jLioness - yay for NSD no 11 nabbed on Monday, that’s brilliant. Even if you don’t meet your target this month you’ve got a fabulous haul of NSDs to be proud off, well done you!

    :j:j:jLoubell83 - a fantastic collection of NSDs, 12, 13 and 14 to add to the haul, well done, you’re really on a roll now. Good luck with nabbing the final one, you can do it!

    :j:j:jlurvlyloz - a brilliant NSD no 14 to add to the total, well done you! Don’t beat yourself up too much if you can’t make your total this month, sometimes life just gets in the way of our plans... there’s always next month x

    :j:j:jmarmite - yay for NSD no 23 added to the haul and your target exceeded. Fingers crossed for the remaining two now.. and three apples was definitely an extravagance too far

    :j:j:jMotoko - a fabulous NSD 13 in the bag now, unlucky for some but definitely not for you. Re the prescription, most people on here don’t count them as spends as they’re necessary items, maybe something to think about to help you towards your target?

    :j:j:jMummyR - a brilliant NSD no 26 nabbed, you’re doing really well this month. Thanks for the tips on the cinema

    :j:j:jPurplemumof2 - that’s a brilliant NSD no 4 to add to the haul, well done you!
    Sometimes life just gets in the way of nabbing NSDs, don’t be too hard on yourself, 4 NSDs is definitely better than none and there’s always next month x

    :j:j:jwildcherry - woohooo to NSD no 8 being nabbed, that’s brilliant, you’ve done really well since you started, you should be proud of yourself. Fingers crossed for another two to add to the pile


    And hello to:

    HeadAboveWater - well done on the Pound Shop sandwich and what a bonus that it was edible:D

    If - love the cartoon... my stuff strutted off years ago and forgot to take me with it:rotfl::rotfl:

    ModestyB - oooops... the birthday card could have been embarrassing, lucky you remembered. Happy birthday to your DH for Friday, hope he has a lovely day:)

    ButterflyBee - hi, good to see you here, you’ve joined us in spirit, that’s the main thing. Look forward to seeing you in February and good luck with the challenge

    ETO - :eek: that was definitely a BSD, no doubt about that, but at least it was less than expected which is something to be thankful for
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
  • Now up to NSD no. 14! Need one more to hit my target!

    Yesterday way 27 NSD and we really enjoyed the film last night, we took our own Mars bars that we got at the weekend £1 for 3 from poundland.

    woke up this morning quite shocked that my ebay items have gone into three figures.

    Have a great day everyone.
