    MrsCautious, so sorry today has been such a difficult day for you. I know by personal experience just how painful the birthdays, anniversaries, christmas without our loved ones can be. (((Hugs)))

    ...............

    Today has been a spendy day as had to purchase groceries and petrol which again, i will include as spend days like i did last month.

    Here is hoping we all reach our goals this month, but hey, if we don't it isn't the end of the world! We can but try :)

    MrsCautious, really sorry to hear of your loss. It must be so hard at anytime of year without having to cope on birthdays and anniversaries etc. I hope you've managed to think about the good times and had some lovely memories. Thinking of you. xxx


    NSD # 1 today, pleased to get one on the first of the month, although will be spending over the weekend unfortunately.

    Need to buy some birthday cards, Mother's Day cards and new baby card on Saturday, then out for lunch and tea on Sunday. Will probably get petrol and groceries on Sunday too, so can get some more NSD's early next week.

    Tough day for me today, I lost my husband in May, it's his birthday today, he would have been 45. To say I have no interest in spending money would be like saying Simon Cowell can be a bit of a big head now and again. Hope you don't mind me posting this, I'm a bit discombobulated (which is an amazing word.) heading to his mum's house later x

    Thinking of you mrsc xx


    Started them off today, NSD#1

    MrsC - adding my thoughts to everyone who has already posted. Hope you get through the day with the help of your family

    I've rethought my NSD strategy.....I think counting days with D/Ds and S/Os as spendy will just encourage me to spend on those days (I'm so easily tempted which is why I need all of you to keep your eye on me :naughty: )

    So, will you update my target to 15 please

    And delighted to say I've bagged NSD #1 today - starting as I mean to go on:j:j
