Boooo snow here today. Thankfully it's turned to slush now.
Grabbed my NSD 3 today and clung on to it.
Hope everyone is keeping warm.

Hi All!

Sorry had a spendy day today but managed to halve the food shop bill from what I used to buy before Christmas so feeling good about that!

NSD 3 for me today

Not an NSD today.... forgot I had a dental checkup booked, so that's another £17.50 gone

Evening everyone

Bitterly cold and biting wind here with some rain for added measure.

Didn't get on here last night as I was too tired so had an early night.

A spend day for me today as my mobile phone d/d that should have left my account yesterday went out today instead. :mad:

There should be a string of NSDs for me for the remainder of the week as I don't need anything including food or catfood.

Hope everyone is well (and hugs to you if you're not).

PS - EvertheOptimist, I hope your husband has a safe trip back to Afghan. I am sure I read he is going back today. (Will catch up with what I've missed a bit later on).

Amazing I have now managed 4NSDs

OutofDebt-NOT-OutofDanger

Just popping in to update... Yesterday and today both NSDs so up to 5 and 5 in-a-row.

Done the grocery shopping today which was well under budget - thanks to special offers and reductions managed to spend less than 2 weeks budget for 4 weeks food (except for fresh fruit & veg and bread/rolls which I try to get from the reductions at the weekend).

Even better managed to get a voucher giving me 8p a litre off fuel (just as well as £70 doesn't even last a fortnight now:mad:).

Kerri - regarding foundation. If you have a Lush shop near you (or just check out their website) they do something called Colour Supplement. It comes in 5 shades in a small pot. Use it neat as a concealer or blend fifty-fifty with your usual moisturiser and use as a light, moisturising foundation. I got some 2 months ago, and use it 3 times a week when I go to work, and there is still loads left, enough for a few months yet. If you were able to drop into a shop they might let you try a smear on your skin to see if it causes problems.

Alternatively you could look for a website that does discontinued cosmetic lines, you might find your favourite stuff on there.

Thanks Nargle - I never think of Lush but I do have store not far from me. My foundation is a daily application else I'd be featuring on crimewatch :rotfl:

I live and work in London, I used to go to Harvey Nics Bar, if you wanted me to get your foundation and post it would that help?

Ahh, thanks MummyR, that's a lovely offer. I do have a friend who also lives / works in London and also offered to pop into Harvey Nics for me too but I shall keep that in mind. Seems everyone is keen for an excuse to pop into Harvey's :rotfl::rotfl:

Congratulations on reducing the food shop bill :j

Well, I think for the first time ever I am declaring 5 in a row which means 5 NSD :j I don't think I've ever started the month off like this. Tomorrow is unlikely to be one - siamese caterpillars that have currently taken the place of my eyebrows need surgically separating
