    Hello, been a busy couple of days, would like to reportNSD #12 today.

    Freeby thank you for asking if I'd like to increase my target and for the encouragement, I'd like to leave my target at 10 for this month so I can pat myself on the back for exceeding it, but next month I hope to be back with a higher target.

    I hope that tomorrow and more days this week can be NSD, so that should be good, once I see how I get on, I will set a more realistic target for April xx

    Argh, I am sick of this weather - our lawn hasn't been mowed since before xmas as it's been to wet, the garden is full of twigs and leaves and the wood out there is going green it's been so wet and it feels like it's been raining since they announced the hope pipe ban last April - was that some weird type of year long April Fool's? :mad::mad:

    Well not a NSD today, had my hair done this morning and bought warm rolls from the ISB in our local shop - unfortunately I didn't get OH text to say he'd also got some while I was out :rotfl:

    Don't feel so guilty about declaring yesterday as it was covered with pennies in my PP account (ones I'd forgotten about from the boots I resold on there).

    Freeby, no real secret to the vouchers - just try and combine vouchers with existing offers on things I need / use (prob now have well over a year supply of dishwasher tablets but the offer was decent so not one to pass up) Not as many coupons / vouchers around as there used to be and I seem to have deff missed out the prosperous times but a bit of a planning and the odd list (or spreadsheet ;)) helps too.

    Please,no,not the 'f' word!:eek::eek::eek:We're not allowed to use that word here,just think of it as a trial run this time (you haven't quite made your target),and you've also learnt something about your spending habits....It can be quite an eye-opener when you start doing this challenge,but hopefully in a helpful way.So keep at it please.Every nsd you get is a bonus!:)

    Well,today is an nsd after all.That's #16 please,as there was no rhubarb to be found at the market.I could have bought some at the supermarket from Holland,but I'd rather get local if possible.

    I quite fancy growing my own rhubarb - though would like to keep it in a large pot / trough. We had some in the garden when I was growing up and despite what it says about it liking well drained soil...this stuff grew like wildfire in heavy clay. Shame the patch has long since gone, I didn't really like it as a kid.

    Mammy of 4. Get those NSDs that you have got posted up and be loud and proud of them. The whole point of this thread it to let you see where you do the aimless spending and try to get it under control. 2 NSDs or 22 NSDs - each one is a personal little victory :T

    You and me both kerri. :mad: But my garden isn't bothering me so much at the moment because I can't see it for snow :eek: It has snowed here for 2 days non-stop, and, with the gale force winds it has made things a, tad interesting, shall we say. :eek: I have about 2-3 inches piled up against my living room window due to it drifting (my window is about 3 foot from the ground). :eek:
