    Not an nsd day, spent on groceries. But only £6.

    Well done to all who have met or exceeded their targets. Of course, there is still tomorrow to go :)

    Can I join your thread? Found the weekly spending challenge and the sealed pot challenge so this will just round things off - and I'm hoping that updating online will keep me on track.

    I've never really thought about NSDs until this week - I'll aim for 10 in February and see how I get on.

    Thanks to all the fab MSEr's who keep us all motivated!

    And some of the smileys on this thread are fantastic - very envious!

  • Well, yesterday wasn't an NSD after all; although I packed a good lunch, I was starving all day and went out to buy an afternoon snack. And today won't be either, for the ridiculous reason that I need an onion to finish making tonight's dinner.

    So my total for the month is 14/15. Still my best effort yet, so I'm quite pleased, and now I'm going to go plan for February.

    In further puppy news my friend's bearded collie has had 6 lovely really tiny puppies.A wee big bigger today already :j

    Awwww... that's lovely beanie:):)
    Today isn't an nsd after all as I bought a great pair of work shoes (meaning sturdy) costing 50 francs.The pre sale price was 240 francs,so a real bargain.:)
    Now that is definitely a bargain, marmite, and well worth losing an NSD for, well done you:T
    Thanks for the fab update spoon!
    It's a pleasure, if you managed to read to the end of it, you deserve a medal... it was very long!:D:D

    All this chopping and changing, budgeting and planning is exhausting stuff. :D

    It is.. but at least it's a distraction from spending.. that's what I keep telling myself anyway:D

    Evening everyone :wave:

    As you may have noticed, I am not an early bird... it's nearly 24-hour cover on this thread:D

    Well done to everyone who's met their targets today and/or nabbed another NSD, we're all fabulous:j:j:j:j

    No NSD for me, Tatco kept calling me:mad::mad::mad:, but I'm hoping for the final one tomorrow.

    Last day of January tomorrow, how scary is that????:eek:

  • Yay! NSD no. 15 is in the bag, so I've hit my target!
  • NSD #12 on Tuesday

    Wednesday was not a NSD, definetely not hitting target this month. Hoping February is better.

    Good Morning :)

    Front pages are looking fabulous :j They are all up to date again and there are prizes galore on there. Well done to everyone :j:j

    Now, who's going to get the last one on the last day? I have a feeling the total for the month is going to be very hard to beat.



    Have a great Friday eve :D
