    Def not a NSD for me. And the rest of the week isn't looking good either. Booooo.

    We were going out for the day today, not too far from home but when we got to said place it was closed. :mad: so we went to another nearby place, also closed. :rotfl: just our luck. So we went for lunch, hubby paid, but then I needed to post our child benefit forms, (postage) and get some milk. Am out for lunch tomorrow. And then we're going to try our day out again on weds. And as hubby bought lunch today I'll be paying on weds. :(

    Really need to plan and organise myself better. Maybe when I'm less sleep deprived. :D

    Well done to everyone that nabbed their first NSD.

    Thanks for maintaining the thread spoony.

    And to everybody else - thanks for the updates, the pics, the motivation.

    NSD 1 claimed for the 1st of July. :D Spent most of the day on the bankside catching fish. I refused to let DH get a bacon sarnie from the canteen or go to the chippie on the way home. Well I had worn my fingers to the bone making sandwiches to take with us. :rotfl:

    Thank you for the anniversary wishes Candlewick & Marmite, it isn't until the 21st but I appreciate the thought. :A

    Welcome to our newbies.

    Hugs to all in need of one.

  • It's been a spend day for me :(, didn't have anything in to make sandwiches for work, so had to buy. Sorted for tomorrow though, so will be aiming for my first NSD....

    I've not spent any money today but some of my d / ds have left my account so that is a spend day by my rules.

    Well done to those of you who have already nabbed your first one. I hope to get mine some time this week but probably Saturday.

    Kerri, it is definitely not too early too mention the C word, as it's just over 5 months and I must start my Christmas Shopping soon;). There are certainly enough sales at present, so may even get some bargains:T. Still, only 5 months and 23 days to Christmas Eve:D

    I always liked you Red lol! :rotfl:

    I've actually done a bit of xmas shopping already but might revisit my list again while the summer sales are on.

    No NSD today, took my DN to Thorpe Park - although I got the tickets via Clubcard, I seemed to still spend a small fortune treating us to some fast track tickets (though deff worth it for Swarm and Colossus - where at one point the queue length was 80mins :eek:) plus add on a BK lunch (as a treat), photos and car parking. :eek::eek: Still we had a good day and the weather was good - plus a couple of cracking photos to bring out on DN's 18th birthday :rotfl::rotfl:

    Mismatch, Hello & welcome, claimable expenses are usually excluded from mostfolks NSD’s but its up to you, e.g. you might use it as a spendy day, and then it’sa bonus when you get the money back, your choice..:cool:

    ETO – darn it that was bad luck about your day out, but takea breath or a nap, whatever works best, your life has had a BIG change, it’lltake a while to settle down, you will get back on the NSD bus:T:T
