    :eek: 11 pages already?!?!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! :D Wishing you all a fantastic start to 2013! :D

    Please sign me up (again!) for 10 NSDs (again!) in January!

    I've managed 6 in Oct, Nov and Dec, each time aiming for 10, but never quite getting there. I'm going to aim for 10 again, and hopefully actually manage to hit target for a change!!

    Every NSD is a bonus, whether I hit target or not. It's good to be more aware of what's going on in my wallet!!

    This will be my first NSD so jumping in early with my [STRIKE]1[/STRIKE] 0/10 ;)

    See you all soon :D

    EDIT:
    Oh fiddlesticks!! :( Just went and spent money! Checked on ebid for Vaniqa and there was only about a dozen available so had to jump in quick. Damn!!!!!!!

    Maybe tomorrow?!?!?!?!??!

    Please can I rejoin for January? I am not on the list but aim to have 20NSDs and 4in a row. It is going to be a lean month. We are still really short of cash as DH is still off work and our income covers direct debits only.

    1 Nsd for me. Not going out even if the local shops are open, having a pj day even. I am determined to cut all the little spends out. Taking the decorations down and general tidy up day.

    Afternoon everyone

    Hope you all enjoyed the fireworks last night.

    Moneypenny2k, Rising to the Ashes, Spoon and marmiterulesok, thanks for the support and confidence in me!

    Marmite, I haven’t read the book although I have heard lots of people say how helpful they found it. Unfortunately, I am not sure I am strong enough to cope without the patches though I do feel a bit of a cheat taking the easy option.

    I have decided to declare my first NSD.

    No cigarettes bought – day 1 :eek:

    I was going to buy a couple of containers and casually mentioned it to my mum over the phone last night (as you do, lol) who promptly replied that she has loads so am collecting later today.

    Have a family birthday coming up and was about to process the order online when I noticed it doesn’t matter if I order today or tomorrow as delivery date is still the same, so will order tomorrow instead as I won’t be having another NSD until Saturday as have direct debits going out over the next 3 days.

    Good luck to you all.

    Happy New Year you chatty lot. Well we ended up going to the local pub last night instead of staying in as we'd planned - was nice to do but am feeling somewhat guilty about how much we spent, good job we didn't need taxi fares on top as the pub is walking distance from us. Thing I'm realising as I get older, is that a) more and more I dislike spending money on drink when there's nothing to show for it the morning after b) I'm really not good at dealing with the resulting hangover these days.

    Still, what's spent is spent and it's a whole new year now. Xmas and NYE are done and dusted and the resulting pressure to go out and spend has a big 2012 line drawn under it.

    Not sure about resolutions for 2013, still thinking about that one.

    Well the result of last night means NSD #1 today :D I'm not going out, and am having trouble even getting out of my pjs. Think i'll make apple and blueberry tray bake later on (usually make it with blackberries but have some blueberries on the turn so figure I can use those instead) and absolutely no spending :A
