    9 NSDs for me. Having a limited budget has definitely helped me stick to the NSDs. The snow has kept me in a bit more too.

    Evening fellow NSDers :wave:

    Flubbery, great news on the water bill :D

    Baileys, well done on upping your target. We haven't quite reached halfway through the month.

    Beanie & MissE, love reading what other people spend their money on (because I've got quite nosey lately :eek:)

    CW18 & Freeby, thanks for updating.

    8 for me today please.

    Definitely a spend day tomorrow. Dress down for comic relief, coffee out and a big shop tomorrow night (thank the lord). :D:D

  • Evening all, I would like to declare Tuesday and Wednesday as NSDs # 7 & 8 please :j

    Today definitely wasn't a NSD, I had a Graze box delivered, bought a sandwich for lunch and went into the shop for some milk and something for dinner and came out £15 skinter (real word?). I am going to round off my spendy day by buying some new earphones off Amazon.

    Now there is nothing I could possibly need to buy tomorrow so will definitely get another NSD!

    NSD#7 for me today. I don't think tomorrow will be as I will need to buy some more milk. Saturday might be but Sunday won't be as I'm going out for lunch!

    Good evening, my lovelies, am pleased to report that yesterday and today were both NSDs along with one which I snaffled on 2nd March and forgot all about. Well, you know how it is....shove something in your handbag and it disappears into a bottomless chasm......now let me see.....(brushes off layers of pink fluff, disintegrating tissue and the remains of a sherbert lemon) here we are! 3 fantastic NSDs for moi, please!


    (Igor! What is your second best pair of socks doing in my handbag????? )

    and it seems you're stuck with me again tonight ;)


    Baileys – number 8 hit, and first target achieved :T Here's to you hitting your new target of 10 :beer:
    Candlewick – and number 8's taken you more than half way to target :T
    Charleybear – you sneaked in with number 7 just before I submitted my post. Well done on both scores :T
    Dragon –
    congrats on your legs 11 :T
    Emloves – and another with legs 11 - well done :T
    Fedup – more than half way there, and almost into double figures.... congrats on number 9 :T
    Mad scientist – with 7 and 8 under your belt you're well on the way to your target now :T
    Mrs Cautious – and that's number 9 felled :T
    Nargle – and she's off :T and with 3 to declare in one go as well !! fancy forgetting to claim one from the start of the month :o
    Poohbear – half way there with number 9 :T
    The Boss – almost half way there now with number 5 under your belt :T
    Tomandjerry –15/6
    Wildcherry – and number 7 means you're more than a third of the way there :T hope you enjoy your lunch out on Sunday :)


    And it's NSD #8 for me :T I checked my bank this morning, and no D/Debits out. So I got stuck into some more sorting/cleaning and stayed indoors, which meant just the inter-webby stores to be ignored - and I find that much easier than I do real stores when I'm out and about ;)

    Not sure what tomorrow will be. I don't think there's a D/Debit due out, but it's my normal grocery shop day. Going to see if I can find the makings of a presentable meal for Saturday in the house (bit short on veg and even shorter on salad though!) and keep both tomorrow and Saturday as NSDs. That way I won't feel so guilt about losing one on Sunday when OH and I take a trip to Costc0 to stock up on a couple of things before the offers change.
