Shiny New Year, Shiny New Start. The January NSD Challenge

bottleofred

Good Evening folks,

No NSD for me today, as the direct debits came out and it will now be a long time until payday:p. I hope everyone is well and has had a good day, as I have yet to read the posts, but send hugs to anyone who needs them.

Oh today feels soooo good

Inspired by the Take Your Lunch to work thread I was organised with food today and so I managed a NSP - woo hoo! And better still, I've got my granola made for tomorrow's breakfast with some natural yoghurt I bought yesterday, and leftover pasta bake for lunch. So tomorrow should be a NSP too, fingers crossed!

Do I need to declare NSDs as they happen, or just declare every once in a while (but keep chatting away on here)? I'm thinking it's easier for those updating the NSDs at the beginning if I declare occasionally so they have less to update? - Hope that makes sense!

You can declare whenever you like, we update everyday anyway so it doesn't matter to us (well to me anyway) how many there are.
Do whatever keeps you on the straight and narrow and focussed

Yes, as planned I paid off my last debt on 31/12/12! :j

Awwww Chris that's absolutely fantastic news :j:j well done:T:T


As for me .... well .... errrrr - was in need of a new ringbinder for my super dooper new home organisation system (don't ask ) but didn't want to lose a NSD just for that (when I could get it tomorrow!) but then remembered I'd bid on something on e*bay which was ending today .... and I won that so ordered the ringbinder & paid for the auction - both low spends tho' under £7 total

I can't believe there are over 100 of us that's fab:T:T - and I apologise now if I don't manage to keep up with the thread (but will do my hardest!):D

kerri~Do you not have a change pot?

Today wasn't an NSD.

I was shaking as I approached Mr T (needed to check out a couple of items that I most definitely wasn't buying today even if the details were right), but knew I'd never escape without checking the Whoopsies and the seasonal aisle for discounted goodies !!!

Then, as I stepped into the store, I realised a D/Debit would have gone out today (as it didn't go yesterday), so it was already a spend day

So I bought some fruit (some Whoopsied), some Whoopsied minced steak, and a discounted seasonal item.

Also just tried to book tickets for youngest GDs birthday event (visit to Sea-L!fe Centre), but it says you have to take ID to collect them without saying what they'd accept. As I'm very limited in what I have (as in nothing unless they accept an almost totally worn out paper driving licence) I've had to get my OH to do the honours there

And thanks to beanielou suggesting it ... I have one too!:D (although I do keep forgetting I have it!) - I put the non-potable coins LO after the weekly spend challenge into it :T (although it's running low as it had to buy a bag of tatties the other day)

I'm hoping it'll stretch to a packet of crumpets tomorrow!:)
