    Friday and Saturday were NSDs so I'm on NSD 10, 7 in a row! :j
    I'm happy that I've hit my in-a-row goal and I'm halfway to my main goal. It's been challenging not to spend because I work at a supermarket and I'm tempted by the bargains but I've learned to resist impulse buying and think "I know it's cheap, but do I actually need it?"

    Good morning folks and thank you to freeby for updating the page:T.

    Today is most certainly not going to be an NSD for me, as I have already been on fleabay and bought a pair of chinos:o. In my defense though, they are brand new and including postage cost less than £8:D. Marmite, I like your thinking, as Red was considering when to start his Christmas shopping, so thanks for the reminder and I will try to have it finished by August:p! Kerri, I hope the tablet goes well. Is it similar to a shortbread tablet? To everyone else, I hope you are all well and enjoy the rest of the weekend. To anyone who is a Dad, have a fantastic Fathers Day:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Apologies for being MIA for a while. Things are not going well here atm and I've been licking my wounds and trying to dodge all the **** flying my way :(:(

    On the positive side, lying low has helped my NSD total and I'm now up to NSD no 14

    I'll pop back later to catch up with what I've missed but just wanted to say hello.

    See you all later :wave:
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Afternoon folks :wave:

    Freeby, thanks for updating.

    Kerri,
    yes, it's scary how quickly time passes.

    Marmite & Freeby, I have had a lazy weekend so far with short bursts of housework so am feeling quite relaxed. Another late start to my day though, 11 am this morning!! :o

    We have more grey sky and rain here but have no plans to spend money so am declaring today NSD 10 and 6 in-a-row.

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
