Oops, Miss Spam a lot here,
Just want to say, I adore this thread, it was one of the first I ever lurked in when I joined and the first I joined in on properly, and it is the one that really helped me get my head in the MSE zone, all the newbies lurking and reading, please jump in, there's no such thing as failure here, have a go!

Soppy moment over

What a lovely thing to say :A

I know what you mean, this thread is so close to my heart because it made me really concentrate on being MSE and taking things seriously in a lighthearted way - if that makes sense

I'd like to sign up for 20 NSDs this month please. I got NSD #1 yesterday - shops being shut really helps with this challenge!! I'll probably spend today and stock up on soup for work lunches but then that should keep me going for the week and hopefully next week as well since this is a short week.

Yesterday and today are both nice shiny NSDs please Freeby, making 2 and 2 in a row :rotfl:

Hi all!

Sick of seeing my wages go down the pan so quickly. I'd like to join please, and will try for 10 NSD's overall in January

Me too freeby...

and the same comment from me Redouble, what a lovely thing to say. These kind of comments make all the work running and updating the thread worthwhile :A


Sazzie - sending you and your OH a massive (((hug))) and thinking about you both. I really hope things start to improve for you this year.

Take care

Good morning everyone! :wave:

Yes, as planned I paid off my last debt on 31/12/12! :j Thanks beanie and spoon! I suppose I ought to head over to the Roll of Honour thread! :money:

Woop woop Chris, well done you, that's brilliant:j:j:j:j

I know how hard you've worked to clear all those debts so I hope you've had a little celebration and are indulging in a few treats (not too many, mind;)) as a reward for all the hard work.

I hope you have recorded your success on the Roll of Honour, if not here's a reminder.....:D

Looking forward to a better 2013. Had slight trauma at end of 2012 (continuing on from the rest of the year really, but slightly unexpected), came in on Sunday lunchtime to find OH collapsed on sofa semi conscious and struggling to breathe, - he had lung cancer surgery earlier in year - sat him up ( doing my back in again :mad:) and called amb folk etc,spent rest of day in A&E, followed by next day visiting hosp, finally diagnosed with viral infection + gall stone. Released with medications and is doing well, though I worry about leaving him, and keep having to phone to checkhe is Ok.:T

Positive news that its not a re-occurence of the cancer,:j but he's very down as chances of him getting back to work seem to be getting slimmer by the day, and while we need the money - and we REALLY - need the money, its as much about him doing something positive, he's always worked and while he 'does' around the house, its not how he wants to spend his time. Not being able to be a provider and not working is probably going to be his downfall anyway. Not happy times here but I'm hopeful its going to improve somehow, I just don't know how yet.

Sorry moan over, and finally positive note

NSD 1 today :wave:

So sorry to hear that Sazzie, glad it's positive news but it must be so hard to deal with for him, and for your. big hugs:lovethoug

Hope I'm not too late to join? I lurked a lot last year but this year thought I would join a few challenges to help me stay focused. I'm going to start low and try to increase it each month. So for January I would like to start with 8

Does that make you n 100? I think it does Welcome

Not sure as yet if today will be a NSD - need bread and milk and have a mystery shop at Tosco to do today, so if I spend less than the allowed amount I'll count it as a NSD if I spend over then I won't... Will update you later

Thanks guys for having me on board,well yesterday was a nsd and today is as well,so of to a good start with 2/8
so far
