    Well done on the fleabay sales Candlewick - and I believe it's a mega free listing weekend coming up - Friday to Monday

    I've also purchased another Group0n deal - but this one's mine all mine (other deals from there and W0wcher have been for me and OH to do together). So from Monday 6th May I'm doing 8 weeks of bootcamp!! The first test will be that two of the sessions (can do 3 a week) are 7-8pm, and I prefer to exercise before 11am :o The 3rd session is 1-2pm on a Saturday, so I'll then have a mad scramble to get home, showered and dressed before OH arrives at 4. I'll have to miss one Saturday (using a W0wcher deal), and may miss the very last as it's the day OH and I go away for a week - but as it's self-catering a couple of hours drive from home we could delay setting off until afterwards if I'm really mad keen not to miss out ;)

    Hoping to hit my second target tomorrow......

    Yeah! a fellow boot-camper :D (I will happily swap you the 6.30am sessions I've been doing of late for something of a less unsociable hour if you like :rotfl:) Is it the BMF one or a diff one? (Only ask as my SIL is doing BMF).

    Talking of boot camp, I did get to do a more sociable time today and was running about the field like a loon at lunchtime - can't believe I've been doing it for nearly a year now :eek:

    And, drum roll please...NSD #15 captured in the process, so TARGET MET :j:j:j not sure how the remainder of the month will pan out now, even though there's nearly a week left I need my siamese brows done tomorrow, Thurs is likely to be a spend and Sat deff will, which leaves three more 'potential' NSD but given the bank holiday we shall see how many actually are.

    Well done to everyone so far this month, keep going - nearly there, and every NSD is a bonus even if we don't quite hit our targets xx

    Thanks for the offer, but my first alarm doesn't go off until 6:30am so I'll pass. Was thinking of something more like 9am ;)

    No. But the director has 17 years of military physical fitness experience, and is still serving in the PT Corps (been with them 6 years).





    I've not spend a penny in a physical or on-line store today, and no D/Debits out either. So that takes me to NSD #16, which means target 2 met :T

    Not increasing as I'm not sure how the rest of the month'll pan out. Into the city tomorrow or Thursday (plan to go on D/Debit day which is likely to be tomorrow), then up to DDs on Friday (to drop off choccy for Sunday). Friday/Saturday may also require small grocery shop for veg for the weekend.

    My mum is an absolute diamond.

    As I've told her all about my DFW status she's so impressed she turned up at mine with a microwave (as my other one blew up last week) and some vege for the bunnies.


    So, if I am frugal with my spending, I am potentially looking at NSD #2 out of a possible 6 for the rest of the month. Meaning I have 4 more days to not spend, in my first attempt at incorporating NSD's in to my budgetting, and I will hit home.


    Would be a proud moment, lol x

    Well done inthedeep! This thread is so motivational....even when you're not reporting NSDs :D

    Pleased to report that I did nab another NSD taking me to 12/15


    If I can manage Friday, Saturday and Sunday I'll make my target by the skin of my teeth. Planned spends tomorrow and Thursday unfortunately....but at least they're planned. Before this I wouldn't have paid any attention :T

    Good Morning :)

    The front page is all up to date. It is looking fabulous :D


    Have a great hump day - although, because Friday is a bank holiday, technically yesterday was the hump day :p Have a great day anyway :)

    This month has been an absolute nightmare. Cannot wait to see the back of March :mad:
    Only 4 NSD in total so far

    I'm not out over Easter so I'm hoping for at least another 3 /4 days to take me half way to my target :)


    Happy Wednesday everyone :)

    Hit by another car repair bill, 2nd in a week -- £152 after £190 last week :eek:

    On the good side, lovely meal out with work for lunch, not paying for that.

  • I am confident in saying that I will reach my 2nd target today so
    NSD#14 making a total of 14/14
    This is much better than I expected so I am not stopping here but would like to go for a 3rd and final target for the month of 16

    Lots of money spent this month but very little on non essentials thanks to the inspiration on here. Cupboards and freezers have taken a battering but that's what food stores are for :D
