  • Whoo hooo NSD #13 yesterday and will be #14 today. Done it and exceeded it :) Very, very happy with myself. Going to be technical with Feb's target as i'm away this month and wont count any of those days away as NSD's. So i'm only going to aim for 10 again but that will be quite a challenge for me.
  • Good morning everyone! :wave:
    :j:j:jchris - yay to a brilliant NSD no 21 and your second target met, that’s fantastic!!:j:j:j
    Freeby will award your second prize tomorrow morning, you’ve done brilliantly this month as always. Hope the next two days aren’t too spendy for you

    Thanks Spoon! :D And NSD number 22 caught yesterday, so 2nd target surpassed! :j Unfortunately today and tomorrow will be spend days, but at least I should then hit the ground running and ready for February! :)

    23 NSD for me, hoping to end the month with a NSD, although not expecting to be so lucky, I have a meeting at school, just a general how the work is going, and dd has said her jumpers are getting small, so could be buying new there, only get the ones she wants from the school!
    On a good note she's at school today, still very tired, but they are watching out for her to check there's no problems.

    Good Morning :)
    Thank you for the huge update spoony :A I may have done the wrong thing, you didn't post your NSD but I saw from your sig that you reached NSD #24 and met your 2nd target :j:j so I put that on and gave you your prize :T:T Can't let you do without your lovely Nessie :)

    Thanks Freeby, it's a pleasure :)

    Thanks for adding my NSD, I did try to post it after the mega-update but I think I might have worn out MSE as it refused to take my post:mad::mad:... four times :mad: ... so I gave up and was going to try again today

    Thank you for my lovely second prize, that's the one I really wanted, he's cute:D:D.

    Going to try for NSD no 25 tomorrow but I'm not increasing my target as I may have to spend tomorrow as well as today unfortunately:(

    Have a good day:)

    thanks for that solventsoon the puppy was gorgeous he is only eight weeks a bit like a border collie likes to lick and loves a fuss

    Awwww.... how cute couldsave.... I love puppies, they're adorable, expecially when their feet and ears are too big for them:D, not quite so keen on big dogs though
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

  • I am declaring today as my final NSD for the month and its 3 in a row too. It is #6 as I didn't spend anything yesterday either avoiding Tesco's for anything other than groceries is hard when its 5 mins away :o

    Still onwards and upwards :D

    Well done those that have achieved their targets, you've done so well.
