Spendy as expected today as evening out with workmates but still less than I spent on Saturday:o
Happy humpday for tomorrow

I know... I think I'm going to be in trouble, Sazzie :rotfl::rotfl:

Hope you had a good evening :)

Evening everyone :wave:

Here’s today’s roundup. We’ve got July off to a great start, I think Freeby will be pleased with us when she gets back:D


Welcome back to:

hanb - :wave: good to see you again, all signed up for your 7 NSDs. It sounds as though you have an expensive month ahead, good luck with nabbing them all :T

charleybear - :wave: good to see you again, all signed up for your 15 NSDs. Great news about your budgets, fingers crossed they help you to manage your money, good luck:T

suzitiger - :wave: good to see you again, all signed up for your 15 NSDs and yay to NSD no 1 today, brilliant start!! :j:j Keep it up now!:T


Well done to the following for NSD no 1 today:

:j:jgetting-there - great start.:T even if it was due to the rain Hopefully the sun will return before too much longer

:j:jlilian - great work on your Amaz0n accounts netting you your first NSD:T

:j:jzenshi - feeling focussed sounds good, you can do it!!:T

:j:jsf - brilliant start for you:T

:j:jshellyosborne - being organised is definitely the way to nab those pesky NSDs so well done on paying your gym membership in advance:T

:j:jOodnood - happy no spending this week, you can do it!:T

:j:jLizzie Bennet - great start to your first NSD month, keep it up now!:T
Love your user name, P&P is probably my favourite book

:j:jdebtfree future - great start, keep it up now! :T


Woohooo for NSD no 2 today to the following:

:j:jModestyB - great resisting there, well done you :T

:j:jfedup - yay to the BTs, you’re doing brilliantly, keep at it! :T

:j:jliltdiddy - oh dear, poor DD,:( I hope she’s feeling a bit better today. Re your lunches, have a look at the lunch challenge thread on here, there are some great ideas. Great work on the Mr A online shop... that’s impressive!:T

:j:jlovefullshelves - your life sounds just like mine, it’s great for the NSDs totals if nothing else!
I have to ask.... what’s a toilet paper tunneller... as in your signature, I’m intrigued:o

:j:jKnit Witch - great start for you as always... the Cauldron is filling up already!

:j:jRed - summer.. what’s that???:( Well done for the productive day today and yay to your friend buying lunch. :T Sorry to hear about the continued dongle woes... they certainly do have a mind of their own!:mad:



And hello to:

zenshi - re your dog training spends, not sure if I’ve understood correctly, so...
if you’re going every day but put your money in a pot once a week (or allocate the cash in your purse) I’d be inclined to just count one spendy day - there are some suggestions on this type of scenario in the post If puts up at the top of each page. Does that help?

IF - love today’s pic, brilliant:T

Nargle - ooh... fairy cakes... any left?? or is that a really stupid question:D The Cauldron definitely needs a good scrubbing... Hubert’s been in there quite a few times recently and you know what that means!!:eek:
I think Igor may well put the NSDs into one of his home brews judging by the taste of that last lot of parsnip champagne... and I’m sure I saw one of them chasing Hubert around the maypole in May:rotfl:

HAW - hmmm..... well, I approve of the stocking up your work drawer, but junk food!!! :p

mismatch - this challenge is a great way to get out of the habit of spending too much on food and/or popping into the supermarket every day for “a couple of items” and coming out with a basket full.... that was me four years ago.:o If I can do it, then you definitely can. Keep plodding, as our lovely Beanie says

marmite - oh dear, sorry about the spends today ... but hoping for some impressive NSD numbers for the rest of the week... you can do it!:T

Beanie - it’s been horrible here today as well .... hopefully it’ll brighten up in a couple of days, fingers crossed

Lurkerderp - I think you’ve made the right decision re the taxi fares, there’s not a lot you can do about them really. Fingers crossed for your first NSD tomorrow.... you can do it! :T


... and 2 NSDs for me as well... mind you, I have no money so that definitely helps

Me again, sorry

Ummmm.....

I do eat good 90% of the time so I allow myself junk at work when the tummy rumbles!!

Happy hump day all


EDIT:
Unexpected NSD #2 for moi! :j Was meeting a friend for coffee and was expecting to at least pay for my own, if not both, but she paid instead! Just means it's my turn next time ;)

Posted fleabay stuff for OH which he's already given me the money for.

And a £1 to Barnardo's does not count as a spend in my book (regardless of the fact I got a bag of choc covered honeycomb cinder toffee for my effort )

Morning all :hello:


I now have my 2nd NSD

Thank you freeby, spoon, Marmite, Cheryl and Sazzie
IF

Helyonnaise

yesterday wasNSD 1 for me! It felt good! a nice challenge! Instead of renting a film online, I made do with DVDs I havent watched yet, and I did no online window shopping which normally result in me spending something.

I also asked hubby to "block" certain sites from my laptop so I can mindlessly shopped. Typically I received an email telling me a certain site had a sale, I clicked to have a look, only to find its been blocked! This SHOULD make the rest of my NSDs alot easier, as I never go in town shopping (with two young boys, are you mad!!)

cardi80

Today will be the 1st NSD for me! I had to do my food shopping and then buy a birthday present the other days.

I am hoping it will make me stop eating rubbish food as I don't have any and can't spend any money!
