    Hello,

    sorry never managed to catch up yesterday as I was still floored by that cold. Dragged myself into work today but it's not going well with a quite wooly brain. Anyway, just a quick update (maybe finally catch up at lunch break or tonight). Had NSD 5 yesterday. Needed a grocery shop on Saturday and updated my sig. Not done much on the weekend obviously but made a kitchen calendar too :)

  • NSD 6 here. Day 6 of no smoking and just waiting for someone to collect some fb bits when Im off to bed for a snooze prior to an overtime night which will hopefully net me another 120 quid. Feeling good but craving a fag at the min.
    Hoping to hit the gym later in the week but have had some lurgy that is finally shifting that has stopped my keep fit plans. Need to start with the fitness before i develop a bulge from my non smoking!

    Good luck with your plans for the day guys. L2B.x

Going to hunt out some nibbles to take with me so I don't have to buy any sweeties or anything, and will fill up a bottle with some water hurrah!

    Hi everybody

    Thought I'd pop by and say hello and report in. I'm on NSD 6 so far and don't intend to spend anything tomorrow. I'm not on work till this afternoon so have had a productive morning getting stuff ready for music magpie (will get OH to drop it off on way to work tomorrow (they always seem a bit sluggish paying out so I will only add the ammount to my totals when it arrives) Theres also stuff for charity shop bagged up and I've added a bit more to my menu plan list (I have a list of what we have and a list of what we are going to eat according to sell by dates and what veg needs eating first)
    So I am now going to have a little sit down with a cup of tea before heading to the saltmines (its not that bad really)
    The weather is definately getting cooler here and it doesn't help that it is so dull but onwards and upwards (it will soon be spring)
    Have a good day everyone

  • Morning all! :j

    I think I'm on for another NSD today... BUT... I'm going to the shop to 'spend' some vouchers. Someone answer the eternal question... does this count as a NSD? :D

    Found 10p, fell out of OH work trousers. £5 Amazon voucher chased in on Swagbucks. :j:j:j

    Feel much happier today. Was a bit despondent yesterday. Just had a blah day about everything I think, but feeling a bit more 'Back on it' today. I assume this is normal. Everyone feels like they are swimming in treacle every now and then for no reason, right?

  • Hi all,

    Another NSD here for me, number 7 so far.

    Am struggling with my spend thrift husband at the moment, but will reign him in hopefully.

    Hope you are all having a good day xx
