Baileys_Babe

Thursday NSD #6

Friday more spending

Saturday & Sunday NSD's # 7 & 8 :j target reached please can I make my new target a further 2 NSD's for February, really struggling with 3 nsd's in a row.

EverTheOptimist

NSD # 8 today, :j was going to have a spend day, but couldn't be bothered to go out, so it clearly wasn't desperate.

Sorry to hear your news bdini, sounds like you're having a rough time of it. Take care.

Sorry i've been awol recently, but i think i may have to just give up this month, i had some really bad news on Tuesday when my mum rang to say my gran had been found dead.

It's been a really sad time for all of us, but it's not helped by the fact that none of my family like or speak to each other, so i have to play go between all the time, so that has left me feeling totally exhausted, & also very hurt that they care so little for my feelings that they would put me in this position.

Anyhow, with all the things needing sorting & paying for, i have totally lost track of my NSD, so may just hang around & chat for the rest of this month if that's ok?

Was planning to catch up with the thread, but i feel shattered, so ((((((((((((((big hugs)))))))))))))) to anyone who needs them, i'm going to head off to bed & get ready for my big day tomorrow.... first day of my new job, a small chink of light peeping from behind the big dark cloud!!

Hi BDINI :wave:
I'm so sorry to hear about your gran. Sending you a mahoooosive ((((((((((hug)))))))))) and a huge kick up the bum to your family. Behaving that way is totally unfair on you, especially after everything you've been through recently and at a time when everyone's emotions are stretched fairly thin anyway. It sounds as though some of them need a swift reality check but, clearly, now isn't the time to do that.....

Don't you dare disappear on us, I'm looking forward to the updates on your new job and someone needs to keep an eye on you to make sure you're OK xx :A

Best of luck for tomorrow, I'm sure we'll all be thinking of you.

Take care hun

Evening everyone :wave:

How is it Sunday night already.... this year is just disappearing at a frightening speed.:eek:
Lots of NSDs rolling in again I see, yay... 462 so far and that total’s about to increase again :j:j
And apologies in advance to Freeby for all the 12a numbers today:o:o


Well done to:

:j:j:jBaileys Babe - wow.. you’ve been busy nabbing those NSDs, well done. NSD nos 6, 7 and 8 added to the pot and that’s your target met, yay!!! :j:j:j Freeby will award your prize tomorrow, keep an eye out for it.
Good luck with your next target of 10 NSDs, you can do it!:)

:j:j:jbeanie - a brilliant NSD no 14 nabbed and added to the pot. You’re doing brilliantly as always.
Hope you managed to resist the chocolate.. melon is much better for you:D

:j:j:jBMF - sorry you’re feeling a bit under the weather.. I don’t blame your veins for going into hiding when the needle appears, I think mine do the same.:eek:
Hope you enjoyed the family meal today and hope you got some help with the spud bashing.
Woohoo to your Baker’s Dozen (or NSD no 12a as I call it)

:j:j:jCheryl - another busy week for you I see. Great news on the customer focus group and your new combi-oven, that was well worth the bus fare I reckon.:)
So NSDs no6, 7 and 8 added to the pot now and only four left to nab now, you can do it!
Eek to the new glasses though!!:eek:

:j:j:jDebtbusterintraining - NSD no 3 grabbed kicking and screaming... you’re doing great, keep going!:)

:j:j:jdonna d - a brilliant NSD no 8 grabbed and added to the pot, that’s fantastic. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t make your target, any NSDs are better than none:)

:j:j:jDragon - and another NSD-er on a splendid NSD no 12a, you’re doing brilliantly as always:)

:j:j:jemsloves - a brilliant NSD no 14 nabbed and added to the pot and just one more to get now. Fingers definitely crossed for tomorrow, good luck:)

:j:j:jETO - brilliant NSD no 8 grabbed and added to the pot, that’s fantastic. When you can’t be bothered going out to spend that’s a sure sign that you’ve become an NSD addict.. we did warn you...
Hope you and bump are both OK x:A

:j:j:jfedup - a brilliant NSD no 8 grabbed and added to the pot, that’s fantastic. Well done and keep going:)

:j:j:jflubbery - oh nooooo.. another poorly NSD-er, sorry you’re not feeling so good and hope you’re on the mend soon.:A
On the positive side, you’ve nabbed NSD no 8 which is brilliant as you’re over halfway now. Keep going

:j:j:jGiggles - oh dear, another poorly NSD-er, sorry you’re not feeling so good as well.:A
On the positive side, NSDs no 4 and 5 added to the pot now and halfway to your target. Keep going, you can do it!

:j:j:jJelly - and another NSD-er on a splendid NSD no 12a. You’re doing brilliantly, especially with the “no food spend days”, that’s fantastic. Yay to the second fleabay sale, wow... that’s some profit!!:j

:j:j:jJonesy - a brilliant NSD no 12a, that’s brilliant, and yay to a fabby 5 in-a-row. Freeby will award your prize tomorrow:j
Hope you enjoyed your trip to your parents

:j:j:jkatholicos - NSD no 11 nabbed and dragged into the pot. That’s brilliant keep going!

:j:j:jkerri - NSD no 9 nabbed now, you’re doing great, nearly there now.
Glad you enjoyed the evening out, it does sound lovely and well worth a bit of a sore head.;)

:j:j:jmarmite - a fabby NSD no 11 nabbed today, well done you. Yay to a brilliant 4in-a-row, not sure if that’s your target or not. If it is, then Freeby will award your prize tomorrow, if not, then the prize is still yours to aim for

:j:j:jsf - NSD no 10 nabbed now and into double figures. Keep going


And hello to:

couldsavemore - hope you’re feeling a bit better today. :AThere are some horrible lurgies going around at the moment, OH is currently suffering and don’t I know it!!!:eek:

Candlewick - well done for catching up on your sleep yesterday and hope you had a lovely afternoon out.
Yay to the £10 win, it’s much better than nothing and might be the start of some more wins

If - love the cat map of the bed - that is sooooooo true:rotfl:

Edwardia - hi :wave: Would you like to join us? If so, you’d be very welcome, just let Freeby know how many NSDs you would like to aim for and she’ll sign you up.

Well I trundled off up to the highest diving board, took a deep breath and launched myself into the spendiest day I have had for nearly 6 months. But by heck I enjoyed it
That's it for another 6 months. :rotfl:

NSD run well and truly blown :eek:

Eeeek Freeby, that's not like you..... but at least you enjoyed it, that lessens the pain a bit:rotfl:

Good Morning

Another little update from me

Lots of NSDs being captured. Really well done.

Thanks for another fabby update Freeby :A

Spoony – Another 2 captured by your marvellous self and you are up to NSD #14. :T I did laugh at 12a.:rotfl: I’m not superstitious and have been known to walk under a ladder :eek:

Well you've got a few more to laugh at tomorrow morning... Sorry, it just seems to be tempting fate to me :o

There's no way you'd catch me walking under a ladder either :eek::eek:

Hi all

Very late again, and should be asleep. Bdini, so sorry, difficult enough without the family needing a referee. :grouphug::grouphug: (That is the icon I could find for group hug - but does it look a bit rude or is that my glasses? :rotfl:)

Hope your first day is brilliant & it looks to me like you've managed 5 NSD already? So you know that you can get back to when you are ready.

But don't go far...we'll miss you:)


p.s. Missed NSD 12 due to highly unnecessary internet shopping but did cancel a useless lotto subscription so not such a bad day

BDINI I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds as if it was sudden, which means you're dealing with the shock as well as the grief. Take care of yourself.

NSD9 here - it's late enough in the day that I can call it now. Weather continues to be horrible, so yesterday we caved and took the girls to a shopping centre just for the air conditioning...and while we were there, we bought DD2 her first ever pair of proper shoes (*sniffs* My baby!) so total fail. But! I did make laundry detergent from scratch, as well as tried out the new (new-to-us, i.e., free from a friend!) breadmaker and made cake for this week's lunches, so all looking good in that department. Trying to get to Thursday on $40 for the lot of us - we can do it if we don't buy anything unnecessary, the car has petrol in and our metrocards are both topped up. I do like a challenge.

Good Morning

Front page is all up to date. Thank you for the update spoony :A Loved all the 12a's :rotfl:


BDINI - I am sending you another massive (((((hug)))). You have got so much on your plate at the moment, the last thing you need to be worrying about are NSDs. I hope you have a really great day today and it all goes well for you. You'd better come back later to tell us about it Remember to look after yourself


Have a great Monday everyone
