  • Hi!

    I'm new to this but I've been spending cash like anything at the moment so I decided Monday afternoon that I wouldn't spend any money at all this week and so far I'm on day 2 of spending nothing! I'm a little bit pleased with myself for that!

    Anyway, perhaps I'll join in properly next month. Good luck all!

    Sorry I've been AWOL for a few days. Lots of catching up to do!!

    Red: hope you're doing ok! Chin up and keep smiling :)
    Weirdest dream last night. Dreamt I was at a fun fair with my family, and we were all dressed up as disney princesses (even the guys...) and i remember shouting at everyone who was spending money because, and i vaugely remember actually saying this (verified by Tim, who i apparently woke up with it) "You can't spend because its a NSD and you'll ruin the sponge if you do!".

    :rotfl::rotfl:



    Very busy and rather spendy weekend! :o

    Finally managed NSD #3 today though :D

    Have a good day everyone :D

    Anyhoo, 5th NSD yesterday =D But, i'm not sure about today. Trying to work out if I need to get petrol or not. I'll ask the sponge.

    Have you been eating too much cheese, SpyderBryte :rotfl::rotfl:

    Having today as NSD #5. Spent the morning at home, then out to see a friend but we stayed in at hers. So nothing spent. :j:j

    Need petrol at some point, will try and hold off until Friday so can do a small top up shop for the weekend too. :D

    After a spectacularly terrible day, I have at least gained NSD#4!
    Thankfully days like this are rare as my coping strategies seem to include wine and chocolate; neither of which I can 'afford' this evening!!

    Just sticking my nose around the door to let you know I'm still around - and I'll be back later to do tonight's roundup (once I figure out where I'm up to in terms of NSDs - other than not as well on with them as I should/could have been !!!)
