    When are you taking numbers for April? I'm thinking this could be a tricky month with school holidays

    Hello,

    Please may I join?

    If so I would like to set 6 No Spend Days for the remaining of March. This should give me a good indication of what I can pledge for April.

    Hi inthedeep :wave: and welcome!Hope you enjoy the challenge.Freeby will be along to add you to the front page soon.Very ambitious btw,good luck!

    Marmite – The lack of rhubarb has brought you NSD #16.:T Is it the right time of year for rhubarb? I have memories of sitting in the sun with a stick of rhubarb and a saucer of sugar.:)

    I've just checked.Here,in the land of cuckoo clocks and chocolate,we are further south,so I think that the season is a bit earlier-it's from April to June.Roll on April!:D

    It's been mild the last few days but snow is forecast again next week.Please,please winter just leave us...:(

    I think the UK season is actually earlier than we tend to think too, rhubarb is one of the first things of the year ready for harvest - perhaps in prev years our Springs just weren't so blooming cold / wet / miserable / snowy (delete as appropriate) and we actually got to see the s*dding sun :mad:

    ps I'm fed up with this carp weather...can you tell? :rotfl:

    JAN NSD 11/16


  • 10 NSD's now. In to double figures could just reach target if i can get my spending under control. Been a bad month on the spendy front not even sure why i know i have brought little silly things but all self control seems to have gone out the window this month. Really need to get a handle on my spendy and look at ways to save some money.
