    Well, don't know how I did it but somehow I managed to snaffle

    NSD number 14!!!!!

    Rumour has it we're getting some nice weather at the weekend so it will be out in the garden for me, instead of shivering indoors like a shivery thing. I suppose the old saying "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" had some truth to it.

    Well it's another NSD for me today although I did my final bit of food shop from my list coming in at £1.24.

    Also found my perfectly fitted new pair of running trainers I have painstakingly saved up for for the last 6mths which I will be collecting next Friday. Really pleased with them as they fit so well and also hit my budget and not over which was a relief. And, I had the biggest smile on my face on the way home realising I could buy them, pay cash - not credit or overdraft - YEAH!

    Target reached of 23 NSD - can I increase again please to 26?

    Loving those Friday wiggles :D

    [STRIKE]Good Morning [/STRIKE]...............:rotfl: I know I usually post my updates in the morning but tonight I am sitting about waiting to collect DD1 from the train station in the next town at 1.20am :eek: so I thought I might as well do something useful. The things we do for our offspring :)

    Just a little one......


    Busybumble – Great to see you back and it is great to hear that this thread has helped you be more aware of your spending.:T Our job here is done.:T NSD #4 is fab considering the month you’ve had so far.:T

    Fedup – You are an inspiration. :A A fantastic NSD #23 and third target reached :Tand a fully paid up pair of trainers. :T A million well done's.:rotfl:

    Heyjude – Woo Hoo from me too.:T Double figures with NSD #10. :T Have a fabulous weekend off.:)

    Nargle – A sneaky NSD #14 crept up and jumped in the cauldron, which is brilliant. :T Fingers crossed the weather is going to get better and we might actually be able to take our coats off.:j

    Roguey – Sometimes we all have a month that just ends up being more spendy than others. :mad: but it is all for a good cause. You have to speculate to accumulate :rotfl: At least you are now aware of your spending and that’s got to be a good thing. :) You’ve still got NSD #4 to be proud of.:T

    Sazzie – Good for you for toughing it out and capturing NSD #15. :T What an excellent NSDer you are.:)

    Slowlyfading – You are on such a roll at the moment.:T A brilliant NSD #16 in the bag for you.:T

    Zenshi – I think it is cold and windy everywhere.:mad: Good for NSDs and you are up to a fantastic NSD #9 :T but not so good for the morale. :(

    Thank you :D

    I have changed my thinking and that's the reason I can do this along with all the support of this thread and a daily post from me which I have committed to do.

    As I've said before this time last year I could not imagine being in this position, then when I started on here the thought of 7 NSDs seemed a mountain too high to climb. By setting little goals and having a strong reason to change I got to where I am now - which is one day of spending on something other than grocery shop or petrol which are both budgeted for. I guess what I'm trying to say is, set little goals and work towards them and you'll get there - good luck!

    Have a good weekend everyone - the sun looks like it's coming out here!

    Just wanted to say my usual Good Morning :) to you all.

    It feels a bit strange not doing the update, I am all discombobulated :p

    Have a fantastic day - the sun is beating out of the sky here :j:j but I bet it's blowing a gale and about 2 degrees when I venture out with the dogs shortly :mad:
