    Not a NSD today, but I knew it wouldn't be - needed petrol and a small supermarket shop.

    Good Luck for tomorrow, everyone! :)

    Joining the party fashionably late...

    I had NSD's on Sunday and Monday but today I bought some newspapers and wine.

    Quite pleased that I bought some 3.99 wine instead of £5 - silly but true.

    Anyway, aiming for 2 more NSD's this week.

    I want a further 10 this month so that's a total of... err

    14 for me, of which I have accomplished 2.
    Debt free, moved, got new stuff for the new flat - got everything I wanted and need - now just saving.

    Another non-NSD day alas. Too much to buy at present. Hopefully I'll snag one soon rather than hitting a snag.

    Evening everyone :wave:

    Another update from me.

    Welcome to:

    Sazdaz - hi and welcome back to the fold:hello:. It’s good to have you back and I hope your family issues are being resolved. Freeby will add you to the front page with your target of 10 NSDs when she next updates it and good luck with nabbing those pesky NSDs:)

    Trajal - it’s never too late to join in here, so welcome, it’s good to have you on board:hello:. Freeby will add you to the front page with your target of 14 NSDs and well done for the 2 you have already nabbed:j:j, that’s a great start... as is the 3.99 wine;)


    Well done to:

    8hooves - woohooo to NSD no 1, that’s brilliant:j:j. The first one is always the best, hopefully you can nab lots more to keep it company:)

    BritAbroad - wow, 7 NSDs is pretty good going, I would think you should be pretty pleased with that:j:j. Fingers crossed for no 8 tomorrow as well:)

    bt1 - that’s a brilliant NSD no 4 you’ve nabbed, well done! :j:j You’re sounding very organised this week so fingers crossed for lots more NSDs for you.... and you are, so NSD no 5 nabbed as well:j:j... there’s no stopping you this month!:T

    charleybear - you are indeed getting there with a brilliant NSD no 5:j:j, well done you, and a fabby 3 in a row, even better!:j:j
    Oh dear, sorry about partner’s mood:(, hope it’s lifted a bit

    Dragon - yay!!! indeed to NSD nos 7 and 8 snaffled:j:j You’re definitely on a roll... keep it going!:T

    fedup.... - I can see you’re on a mission this month to bust some more of those debts;)... and you’re going about it the right way by nabbing lots of NSDS, no 7 being the latest prisoner. :j:j Keep going, you’re doing brilliantly

    freeby - woohoo, that looks like 8 NSDs out of 8 days to me, that’s pretty good going by anyone’s standards:j:j
    Hope you recovered from the alcohol (and football) fest finally.. I know what you mean about getting old(er), it happens to us all eventually ;):D

    HAW - a big woohoooooooooo and a few :j:j:j for a brilliant NSD no 2, you did it!! Onwards and upwards now that you’ve finally got those pesky NSDs in order:T:T

    mad_scientist - you should be happy with NSD no 6, you’re doing brilliantly, well done:j:j. Re sponsoring your mum, could you just sign up tomorrow and actually give the money on another planned spendy day - just a thought:)

    marmite - another one on a roll this month, I can see we’re all aiming for Freeby’s target!:D Well done for NSD no 7 and a brilliant 4 in a row, woohoooo!!:j:j

    MissE001 - woohooo.... you have a right to be pleased with yourself with a brilliant 6 NSDs and your first ever 3 in a row, well done you!:j:j
    Hopefully your planned spendy day tomorrow won’t be too painful and you can get back on the wagon after it :)

    ModestyB - you’re on a roll at the moment, is DH back in the cellar again?:D Well done for NSD nos 6 and 7 and a brilliant 3 in a row - woohoooooo!!:j:j
    Hope you had a lovely day chilling and listening to some great music:)

    MrsCautious - you’re halfway to your total now with a brilliant NSD no 6, well done you!:j:j Hopefully your plan will work out for the rest of the month and you can nab lots more, good luck:T

    Nargle - good news that your lost and lonely NSD has some company with NSD no 2:j:jI’m sure the rest will come trotting obediently along now that they know they won’t be lonely in the cauldron;). Good luck for the rest of the week

    rogueylawyer - glad you’re loving the challenge, you’re doing great with your 5 NSDs and a brilliant 3 in a row, woohooo!! :j:j You’ve got some heavy expenses coming up but you definitely seem to be in the right frame of mind to deal with them which is half the battle:T

    wildcherry - you are indeed doing much better than last month with a fabby 6 NSDs already nabbed, well done you!:j:j Boo to the window cleaner turning up unexpectedly, but if the windows are clean then I guess it was worth it... at least you’ll be able to see all the Spring flowers bursting into bloom!:D

    Hello to:

    kerri - NSDs are more difficult to nab some months than others, maybe you’re just having one of those months? Don’t lose heart, there are loads of potential NSDs left to nab and you’re already a third of your way towards your target:T

    black cat - hope the spendy day wasn’t too serious - at least it was planned so well done for that. Hopefully you can get back on the NSD wagon again tomorrow, good luck:)

    The Boss - fingers crossed you’ll get back on the NSD wagon soon, there are loads of potential NSDs left this month, you can do it!:T

    Sorry... I forgot me :o:o

    After my appalling start to the month I've managed to nab NSD no 5 today, so I'm doing this again :D:D

    Spendy day coming up tomorrow (or, more accurately, today) so I'm hoping for no 6 on Thursday.

    'night everyone

  • NSD4 yesterday. Won't be one today, I need to go and change a frightening number of Australian dollars into US dollars and to fortify myself for that, I'm having lunch with my husband. We never get a word in edgeways at dinnertime anymore, with two small children, but we work a few buildings apart so we try and have lunch every now and then to get a peaceful conversation in!

    Fedupandskint, that's brilliant about the credit card. That must feel fantastic. Have you cut it up ceremoniously?

    NSDs 6 & 7 and 3 in a row for yesterday and today.
    Just chillin' today listening to my fave group's LPs. Clue: Nights in White Satin.

    Hugs to all in need of one.
    That takes me back *sigh*..I fell so totally & completely in love with a chap, but it was never to be that kind of relationship. We were so close emotionally & I adored him..strangely we still correspond all this time later from wherever he be (his career has taken him around the world) & there's still a bond between us that is stronger than a band of gold.

    My parents were :eek: at my friends then, as 99% were male :D I had nothing in common with girls my age & found the lads easy to be around; they had better taste in music & we'd take it in turns to cram into someone's bedroom, lights off, joss sticks smouldering, listening to Dark Side of the late-night-moon-waving-goodbye-smiley-emoticon.gif & Tubular christmas-bells-smiley-emoticon.gif


    Actually, I'm not sure what I saw in The Offspring's father; he was a big-time top 20s enthusiast, but my first love has always been something with a bit of oomph & a lodda bass :D The Offspring were brought up listening to soundtracks from 40s thru to latest & appreciate The King alongside Thin White Duke to the stuff they like today, with two of 'em accompanying their ole' mum to a M@dness gig they paid for, for my birthday one year :T Ha.aaaahh *another whimsical sigh* ...thanks for the lovely thoughts you've stirred in my soul MB; I'm sure to settle now I have sweet dreams to entice Sleep my way...sleepy-goodnight-smiley-emoticon.gif

    Good Morning :)

    Thank you for the fabby update spoon :A:A

    NSD #9 under my belt yesterday. I sent an ebay parcel but I am not counting that ;) I am sure this good run will have to end soon but I just don't need anything at the moment so I am leaving my determined head on and ignoring the kids cries of 'there's nothing to eat in this house' and 'can you get me some.......' The cupboards are semi-full so they won't starve :o They just mean, there is no chocolate/crisps/rubbish for them to graze on :)

    Have a happy hump day everyone :D
