    Evening all!!

    I am so sorry I have been absent. It's been a manic couple of weeks, with my parents staying for a week and then catching up at work & going to a hen night last night.

    Happy to be checking in at the end of the mon th with a grand total of 17 NSD's though. Much better than I expected! Parents trip was quite thrifty in all and so NSD's I wasn't expecting were gathered!

    Hope you all had a lovely couple of weeks. See you in July ;)

    And me - well today unexpected mini-spend, the chocolate won, but it was my own fault, if I hadn't run out of milk I wouldn't be in the shop

    Thanks for all the rice recipe tips, I will be trying some out soon.

    Good luck for July everyone

    Hi everyone :wave:

    While I’m updating the totals thought I would catch up with a few of you again...

    Sazzie - thanks for another fabby update, you’re a star :A:A
    Sorry about the unexpected mini-spend but at least it wasn’t a mega-spend :)

    kathy - it’s a pleasure re the encouragement..... I do a good line in kicks up the bum if you need further help though:rotfl:..... ask HAW. You’ve had a great month, a big well done to you :T

    MissE - yay to Amaz0n vouchers :T

    fedup - thanks for the comments, it’s good to have you on board and I’m really pleased this challenge has helped you. Keep on busting those debts!!
    :A

    IF - thanks for all the brilliant pics this month, you really do brighten up my days and have given me some smiles and laughs during what has been a very bad month for me, thank you x :A I hope you enjoy your ice cream reward :D

    marmite - it’s a known fact... holiday and weekend days go three times more quickly than work days... sigh:(:(. Hope you’ve enjoyed your week off :)

    Red - great news about your Dad, I’m really pleased to hear that :j
    I’m not sure whether your or I have got our numbers mixed up but I already had you on 15 NSDs so you now have 16, well done! :T

    Nargle - I’ve done the Tiger Feet and Quo combination in my younger days, you’ll have to try a bit harder than that!!:D:rotfl: How about Tiger Feet combined with Superstition... that should be interesting!!:rotfl:

    ETO - oooh... for one minute I thought I was going to have to let Jaws out of his cage, I’m glad you avoided the dreaded word! :rotfl:
    11 is a fabby total to have nabbed, well done you!:T

    Liltdiddy - your two weeks definitely sound manic, hope you enjoyed them :)


    And finally ....


    A huge THANK YOU to all of you for your support and encouragement this month. June has been a carp month for me and your comments and support have really helped. I'm looking at some new ideas for earning some pennies so keep you fingers crossed for me.

    Onwards and upwards to July... now that's seriously scary!!:eek::eek::eek:
