    Hi everyone.

    Such a long time since I posted- I've forgotten was and wasn't NSD.

    Monday defo wasn't as I met a friend and although she paid for our lunch, I invested in some nice soap for the bathroom, and a bag of red licorice, yum yum :-)
    Tuesday,Wed and Thursday all NSd, mainly due to biking to work. And not wanting to carry any shopping home.

    Friday was not a good day, however surprisingly it was an NSD. 4 in a row !!!

    Saturday was a big supermarket shop to refill empty fridge and cupboards. Bought a few treats so even though less than budget is not a NSD.

    Sunday has not been NSD as got cravings for a walk and chocolate so walked to the shop and ??.

    But this takes me to 5 NSD including 4 in a row

    21 days left and 13 to go for target, reckon I can do it but planning is the key.

    Hugs to all, and thanks to our lovely updaters. I also lurk by reading the daily digest, I noticed someone say they lurk on the phone, seems a good plan, but I just need to figure out how. Good luck for next weeks NSD.

    The front page is all up to date :)

    I had a horrible spendy day yesterday and it was all on groceries :mad: We just seemed to need everything and I blew my budget out of the water :mad::o
    On the positive side, my cupboards and freezer are fit to burst so I refuse to buy anything but fresh stuff until everything is used up :mad:
    Have a great Sunday everyone. Happy Mother's day :A:A

    Thanks for the update Freeby :A
    Oh dear, I'm sorry you had such a horrible spendy day yesterday:( that happens to me as well if I run all my stocks down.. everything seems to run out at once :mad: Hopefully that'll be it for a while :A

    Hope your DDs made amends for their start to the day.
    It's me again - I'm sorry :o

    Is there anyone out there who would like to help with the updating??? Please???
    It is not an onerous task and is quite enjoyable reading everyones updates and being able to make your own comments - especially if you are nosey and opinionated like me :o:o:rotfl:
    It would be just one evening/morning a week and we would be very grateful for your help.

    Thank you :)

    We would indeed.......:)
    And on that note ^^^^

    Has anyone seen/heard from LMH, BDINI or Red?????

    If you are lurking, lets us know you're okay :A

    Not me, and I'm missing all three of them, and Chris.

    Hope you're all OK :A

    Evening everyone :wave:

    Another update coming up. Hope all the mums have had a lovely Mothers’ Day:)


    Welcome to:

    :hello: lottie3000 - welcome back, it’s never too late to join in.
    Good luck with nabbing your 8 NSDs for March and well done for the 1 you’ve already grabbed. :j:j:j That’s a great start for you, and of course you can grab the remaining 7... have confidence
    Freeby will add you to the front page when she next updates it, in the meantime pull up a chair.

    Well done to:

    :j:j:jBaileys Babe - NSD no 5 grabbed and added to the haul. You’re doing brilliantly, keep it up!
    It sounds as though your children have definitely got the real meaning of Mothers’ Day:)

    :j:j:jbeanie - NSD no 10 grabbed and into double figures, you’re doing brilliantly as always.
    Pleased that you got a card from DS, he clearly means well :)

    :j:j:jcharleybear - woop indeed to NSD no 4, that’s very well-earned with all that resisting you did today.. keep it up! :T

    :j:j:jdebtfree future - yay to NSD nos 1, 2 and 3 being nabbed and added to the pot. You’re on a roll now, keep going :)

    :j:j:jfedup... - an NSD weekend has netted you NSD no 6. You’re definitely on a roll, keep going now :)

    :j:j:jIf - NSD no 5 comes strolling in to join the rest of the captives, you’re doing brilliantly as always.
    Love today’s pic, it’s prompted a lot of chat here today...:D

    :j:j:jJelly - NSD nos 6 and 7 grabbed and added to the haul, you’re definitely on a roll.
    Wow... more fleabay sales, well done you, I can see I’m going to have to pick your brains for some tips;)

    :j:j:jkaren - NSD no 3 nabbed and added to the pot, you’re doing brilliantly after the horrible spendy start to the month. Glad you’ve had a lovely Mothers’ Day :)

    :j:j:jkerri - NSD no 5 grabbed and added to the haul, whooo indeed! Keep going now, you’re doing brilliantly.
    Glad DM enjoyed the cheesecake :)

    :j:j:j kittiej - NSD no 7 grabbed and added to the haul, that’s brilliant! Keep going :)

    :j:j:jlindsloo - well done for nabbing NSD no 8, that’s a great start to the month for you. Fingers crossed you’ll beat your 5 in-a-row sometime soon.
    Your mum is definitely worth spoiling, I hope she liked the photo frame :)

    :j:j:jmarmite - NSD no 8 nabbed and added to the pot, you’re doing brilliantly as always. Yay to 5 in-a-row as well and fingers crossed for 6 tomorrow... you can do it :T

    :j:j:jMissE001 - glad you had a good day at the races, it’s definitely a fun day. Fingers crossed for an NSD today and hope you had a good day being spoilt by your children and, in turn, spoiling your mum... and you did, that’s lovely
    NSD no 4 nabbed as well today as an extra bonus, fingers crossed for some more later in the week, you can do it!:T

    :j:j:jMrsC - well done for resisting the different drinks and nabbing NSD no 6 in the process. You’re doing brilliantly, keep going :)

    :j:j:jnew leaf 88 - NSD no 6 grabbed and added to the haul, that’s brilliant! Keep going :)

    :j:j:jPennySaving - yay to NSD no 5 being grabbed and added to the pile and an even bigger yay to the car boot sale... that’s brilliant. I hope you managed to thaw out eventually :A

    Sazzie - hi, lovely to see you again. You’ve been busy nabbing those NSDs I can see, well done, so NSD no 5 nabbed and added to the pot and yay to 4 in-a-row. I can see “planning” is going to be your word of the month

    :j:j:jsf - NSD no 6 grabbed and added to the haul. You’re doing brilliantly, keep it up! :)

    :j:j:jtomandjerry - you’re doing brilliantly getting to NSD no 6 already, that’s fantastic. Sorry about the spendy days coming up, hope they’re not too painful :)


    And hello to:

    marmite - no you’re not in a minority about Mothers’ Day, we were encouraged to do the same... doesn’t mean we always did that, mind you....:rotfl:

    Candlewick - blimey... you were a human dynamo this morning.:eek: Hope you managed to have a rest later on. You’re right about fleabay.. the items will sell eventually, somewhere there’s someone desperately wanting to own them, they just don’t know it yet.:rotfl: Glad pud is feeling better today, there’s nothing as pathetic as a poorly pud :(
