NSD4 banked today!

A nice chilled out day here. Have been pretty busy in the kitchen though. Made up a few batches of chicken soup, then made a load of wedges out of potatos that needed using up.

Hi everyone, thats alot of NSD we are clocking up.
Sadly I'm not really getting there, stuck on 1/15, can't even remember Wednesday, Thursday was a spendie for guinea pig veg, Friday I shopped for the dinner I was cooking for friends. Spent 3 hours cooking meatballs, (I'm not exactly Delia), would have been better, cheaper and tastier buying ready made ones from supermarket, but never mind, I'm not on main course for another 3 turns.

Today went for bread, cleaning essentials etc, managed to keep down to a ?respectable £10.:o Walked there, saving the £1 I pay the fuel fund if I use the car other than for work.

Renewed inspiration from this link and hopeful can make it a NSD Sunday and with luck Monday and maybe Tuesday too.

Chris I'm so inspired - fantastic job, they should have you on the TV debtbusters. :T

Hi everyone great effort is going on here with NSDs. I have not managed another one yet. Got caught out with my DS friends birthday which I had forgotten about and did my shopping today. I am looking to do better once I have my DS back at school next week

January seems such a long month to get through though. Need to be disciplined and take some inspiration from you all

I am so sorry Dizzy but I didn't realise when I did the update that you had reached your target so I didn't give you the fanfare you rightly deserved

Very, very well done :T:T:T

Now, my next challenge to you is to increase your target :eek: so you can get another prize and, now that we have you in our clutches, keep you here :rotfl:

Let me know

Morning everyone

Unfortunately another spendy day today but popping in so I can keep up with the thread, it's moving so quickly.

Plan for today

Up and blitz the house, go food shopping, get petrol, come back for lunch, go to the cinema, pop and see the folks then relax.

What a day.

(And hoping to get some lovely birthday pressies along the way!!:D )

Have a good day everyone.

Ugh, I'm stuck on 3 nsds. Today isn't looking too hopeful either unless I can get hubby to foot the bill for whatever family activity we go for today.
But yesterday I did get my grocery shopping done for £12.47. And while I was spending, decided to pay my BT line rental up front for a year £129, but will save me £5 a month. So good I suppose (although my bank balance isn't thanking me at the moment).
