Hi All...

Tracked you down... Don't know why the thread has been moved - this isn't a Diary??? It's a monthly challenge? Strange... :cool:

Anyhow - today was going to be a an NSD but realised I needed to buy some stamps as had a sort out last evening and got on top of all my correspondences... Stamps are sure expensive now!!!

Hope we get moved back soon!

Yesterday was NSD no.2 (planned to buy a few food items as OH came out of hospital - yippee :T) and spent at Slimming World, but that was covered by my parents.

Planned spend day today as it's my birthday! Spent £35 on lunch out and takeaway. Not going anywhere as OH is feeling a little fragile. I also bought a pair of boots and a Kindle with Christmas money - the rest is going in the bank for a rainy day. Can't wait to download lots of free books.

Pleased that I've kept away from the sales - I had my eye on the boots before Christmas and had already decided on a Kindle - this challenge is keeping me on the straight and narrow! I found a notebook to record my spending in (didn't want to buy one), but I still need to update my signature.

Thank you for all the inspiration on here!

Have just been to sw - face my demons! A friend and I share buying a raffle ticket - not only was it her turn (making this NSd number 2) but we won so I've brought home two leeks, a swede and a cauliflower which should mean that I dont need veg this week - what a result!

Happy Birthday black cat! Now do tell, what are your new boots like? I have a penchant for that type of footwear but can't buy anymore.

Happy birthday blackcat.
And well done on the raffle win Ninno. I went back to my first SW class in 2 years today. I have a long way to go.

Tan leather, ankle length, lowish heel, fur-lined around the ankle - needed something smartish but comfortable to wear with jeans. Not those sort of boots!
