The Lets Make It Awesome April NSD Thread

  • Evening everyone,

    Just popping in to say that yesterday was NSD #9, today wasn't one as I had to get a few bits in the shop. I am hoping that I won't need to spend again until Saturday now so I can get closer to my target! I think I have everything I need for meals but I have been wrong about that in the past :o

  • Good evening all,

    No NSD today unfortunately as my day at work was soooo busy I didn't get home until an hour later after I was supposed to finish ( and not sure I get paid for it :cool:). I felt I needed a drink so I popped to the local shop and bought beer which I enjoyed enormously :beer:. That's my guilty pleasure tonight :p.
    I try to be good for the most of the week though ;).

    T&J :)

    Evening everyone :wave:

    I hope you’ve all had a good day and have had a chance to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine that’s been around. It’s been glorious here and, as I live in the slightly damp ;) North West, it’s not often I get to say that. Another update coming right up! :)

    Well done to:

    beanie - two more NSDs to add to the pot, that’s brilliant.. NSD nos 6 and 7 :j:jfirmly nabbed, woohooo....:T

    bt1 - you’re doing brilliantly with NSD no 8 :j:jfirmly nabbed, keep going now. Hope you enjoyed the film this evening:D

    Cheryl - leaving your purse at home today definitely worked and nabbed you a fabby NSD no 9, :j:jwoohooo!!!!:T

    Freeby - yay to a brilliant NSD 12a :j:jand for resisting the temptation to spend on payday..... you deserve a medal for that:D:D

    HAW - blimey... you’re on a roll now with a brilliant NSD no 5,:j:j woohoooooo... and another drum roll for you:T:T

    heyjude2013 - declaring early is definitely a good tactic and it’s guaranteed you NSD no 6, woohooo!!:j:j You’re over halfway now, keep it going!

    mad_scientist - NSD no 9 safely bagged now, that’s brilliant, and you’re way over halfway there now.:j:j Fingers crossed that today wasn’t a mega spendy day and for another few NSDs nabbed this week... you can do it!:T

    MrsCautious - sorry to hear you’ve been really poorly and I’m glad you’re starting to feel a bit better, hope that carries on now. :A Well done for nabbing NSD no 8:j:j despite being poorly, sometimes that’s more of a temptation to spend

    Purplemumof2 - NSD no 3 :j:jtucked away safely now, that’s fab and good luck with nabbing the 5 you’re aiming for this week... you can do it!:T

    sf - good to see that you’re back on the NSD wagon again having nabbed a brilliant NSD no 6. :j:j Keep going now:T

    Trajal - woohooooo to a brilliant 2/9 in a row, that’s a flying start for you.:j:j Keep going now!:T

  • Good morning,

    NSD #4 for me yesterday :)

    Unfortunately I won't make my 5 this week, DS's bike needs to go to the bike shop on Friday so that'll cost a bit, still he does love his bike and it is worth it to get it fixed as exercise is FREE :D

    Have a good day everyone x

    Thank you,solventsoon!
    I'm feeling much better, I'm just trying to take it easy.
    i think i bruised it somehow :think:

    Luckily today i have a day off of placement so I am spending it home. Hopefully I will be having an NSD;
    I have coursework & tidying up to do so that'll take my mind off of needing to spend just because i have money. :laugh:
