    It's another NSD in the bag for me today - off work this week so no spending until payday this Thursday

    NSD 20 - 2nd target reached unbelievably!

    Can I set a further target of 22 NSD?

    Whopping great dentist bill today so no NSD there I'm afraid. And tomorrow is Payday so the regulation supermarket megashop will descend on Chateau Nargle as usual, totally putting the kybosh on any hopes of a NSD tomorrow. However, though I may not reach my target I expect to get a bit closer to it before the end of the month. Am determined to be really tight with money in April, as have had lots of unplanned extra spends recently, which blew the budget out of the water. With that in mind, and because I am working Easter weekend, I am tempted to leave Easter chocolate shopping until next week - when all the choccy eggs etc will be reduced! Sneaky or what? (Don't suppose I could keep any of it until Easter next year - not that it would last long enough to go off in our house....)

    NSD 12 for me today :D

    So pleased I have hit my target, for a few moments this month it was looking a bit out of reach.

    Thank you for all the updates and totals. We are all doing so well!

    Not looking good for the next couple days but still want to get in another few before the end of the month!

    Well done everyone else and keep it going!! :D

  • I can't believe it is almost the end of March - where did this month go?

    Anyway 3 more NSDs captured taking me within 1 of my new target

    Friday was a NSD helped by the fact that I spent most of the time asleep due to very heavy cold; Sunday was spent decluttering and catching up on housework and today has been a busy day at work.

    We lost power on Friday for about an hour and that was scary enough - can't imagine how bad it must be for folks who have had no electricity for days. Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm

    Evening All,

    I had a fabulous birthday weekend but it was all spendy days. However,today has been a NSD and I hope tomorrow will be too so I might get a few more before March disappears.
    Maybe, my target was too high. I might try 15 next month and see where I get to.
    So that should bring me to NSD#11

    Evening all! Despite being tempted by 'that' website again, I decided (with a bit of help from my friend) that we didn't need the item we were both coveting and thus have unexpectedly captured NSD #14 :j

    Bloomin cold here but can't complain as it's not nearly as bad as other parts of the country - though i wasn't thinking that at 6.30am when I was running about a muddy field like some escaped lunatic :eek:

    Deciding on returning the pair of boots I ordered the other week (i did prev confess to them :o) they're nice, but I'm not sure they're perfect - or rather I'm not sure I wouldn't rather see the money refunded back to my c.card.
