    Good luck with your new target of 20 NSDs, you can do it!


    Well done to:

    :j:j:jbeanie - NSD nos 15 and 16 in the pot now, you’re on a roll as always. You’re sounding much brighter again which is good to see x

    :j:j:jbt1 - NSD no 9 grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, and yay to the 3 in-a-row, it’s downhill all the way now for the next 3, you can do it!

    :j:j:jclairey em - NSD no 9 grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, you’re definitely getting there. Even if you don’t make your target, you’ve nabbed a good number of NSDs this month, you should be proud of them.

    :j:j:jcoolcats - a spendid NSD no 10 nabbed and you’re into double figures, that’s brilliant. You’re definitely making headway now, you can do it!

    :j:j:jDragon - a brilliant
    NSD no 14 grabbed and is now firmly esconced behind bars with the rest of them. You’re doing great as always, keep going

    :j:j:jETO - a splendid NSD no 9 firmly nabbed, you’re on the homeward stretch now, that’s brilliant. Well done for all that resisting today, that’s very impressive. Hope you managed to find something for your meal tonight

    :j:j:jFreeby - woohoo for NSD no 17, well done for reigning yourself in (my that does sound painful:rotfl:), you’re back on track again

    :j:j:jGiggles - a splendid NSD no 6 firmly nabbed and you’re past the halfway point now, that’s brilliant. Hope you enjoy the film and managed to get the new dress and PJs?

    :j:j:jjaxzmar - NSD no 11 grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant. Well done for that spendid resisting today, especially where chocolate was involved, I’m impressed

    :j:j:jkarenccs67 - a splendid NSD no 8 firmly nabbed and you’re past the halfway point now, that’s brilliant. Hope your bank card has been sorted out by now?

    :j:j:jkatholicos - NSD no 12a grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, keep going!

    :j:j:jkerri - a spendid NSD no 10 nabbed and you’re into double figures, that’s brilliant. Hope you enjoyed the film?

    :j:j:jlurvlyloz - a splendid NSD no 9 firmly nabbed, you’re on the homeward stretch now, that’s brilliant. Of course you’re going to make it, there are loads of potential NSDs left in February

    :j:j:jmarmite - NSD no 12a (sorry) grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, and yay to your 6 in-a-row. Fingers crossed for another one tomorrow

    :j:j:jmilann - a splendid NSD no 5 firmly nabbed, halfway there now, keep going!

    :j:j:jMissE001 - NSD no 7 grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, only 3 more to get now, you can definitely do it! Grrr to the onion.. but hopefully tomorrow won’t be a mega spendy day. Glad you’re enjoying the challenge and well done for your first MSE star

    :j:j:jNargle - a splendid NSD no 9 firmly nabbed, you’re on the homeward stretch now, that’s brilliant. Hope your tooth/crown has settled down a bit?

    :j:j:jpoohbear59 - well done for nabbing all those NSDs 14 is a brilliant haul so far. Fingers crossed for lots more

    :j:j:jSazdaz - a splendid NSD no 9 firmly nabbed, you’re on the homeward stretch now, that’s brilliant.

    :j:j:jSazzie - NSD no 12 grabbed and added to the pile, that’s brilliant, and only 3 more to get now, you can do it!
    Don’t worry about the “dodgy” hugs, as BDINI says, a dodgy hug is better than no hug at all... Phew.. I’m glad someone else is experiencing memory crises as well, I don’t feel so bad now

    :j:j:jTiggy - yay to 5 NSDs so far, you’re doing great, keep going. And that’s a brilliant 2 in-a-row as well, you’re definitely getting the hang of this now

    :j:j:jwildcherry - fingers crossed..... and you did it, NSD no 9 captured now that’s fantastic!
    Of course you’ll make your target, there are loads of potential NSDs left to nab.
    I think you’re right, we should all be proud of ourselves for stepping off the spending wagon


    And hello to:

    If - I like the post:D

    lottie3000 - hmmmm... I think I spotted the forbidden “f” word :naughty: We do not “fail” on this challenge, we just sometimes don’t quite get there. You’ve nabbed 6 NSDs during February, be proud of them and be determined to increase your haul during March. Hope you have a lovely holiday :)

    Jelly - get that hunting gear back on again. I hope the two spendy days weren’t too majorly serious :)

    HeadAboveWater - well as long as it was an expected spendy day we can allow you that. Good tactics stocking up with snacks for work, if it nabs you more NSDs then it’s worth doing :)

    Candlewick - oh dear... you have had a bit of a day of it, haven’t you :( Sending you a (((hug))). Yes, fish has gone up in price, as has chicken... and both were definitely expensive enough to start with... grrrrrrrrr......
    Yay to day 50 of not smoking, that’s brilliant :j:j

    Baileys Babe - hope the spendy day wasn’t too serious :)

    So sorry i didn't post yesterday to tell you all that the new job is fab!!!!! I absolutely love it, the people are amazing, the job is great, so laid back & friendly in comparison to what i am used to & the only problem i can foresee is that being allowed to wear whatever i want means it takes me ages to get dressed now as i can't choose!! :rotfl: If only all the problems in my life were that enjoyable!!

    Yay:j:j:j:j That's brilliant news BDINI, I'm so pleased to hear that, hopefully the new job will make all the family carp a bit more bearable xx :A
    Anyway, the reason i never made it on last night is the fact that i am getting a lodger tomorrow, my friend who has been leaving her partner for ages (Domestic violence), has finally decided to do it, so when i got home from work i had to relocate all the jink from the spare room, & believe me there was lots of it :eek: I'm so glad that she is doing it, but what i week to pick!! However, i've had a little cry of the loss of my privacy for a bit & now it's onwards & upwards!!

    Onwards and upwards indeed. You're a good friend to do that, especially with everything else going on xx

    NSD no 16 for me please Freeby and I've made my 6 in-a-row as well, so I'm delighted with that :j:j

    Spendy day tomorrow unfortunately:( but I should be back on the NSD wagon again on Thursday.

    Have a lovely hump day tomorrow everyone:D

  • Woohoo! I'm very pleased to report in with NSD no. 15! Have hit my target, and managed several in-a-rows as well (even though I don't generally specify an in-a-row target).

    Think I need a second target for this month - let's add another 5 and aim for 20!
