The "Just Keep Swimming" July NSD Thread

heyjude2013

NSD #1 for me today, finally off the mark :j

mismatch

NSD 2 for me today, as I refuse to count the desperately necessary purchase of a hayfever nasal spray to return me to something resembling a human and not a sneezing/nodding dog as a spend. plus I used a Tesco coupon so it only cost 75p

NSD 2 today

Can someone tell me......I have dog training once a week but have got my monthly subs in a pot, does that mean they aren't spend days?

Hi Zenshi

Because this thread is all about making our own rules, depending on individual needs it can be counted or not. If you have stashed the dosh in a pot its obviously budgeted so you may want to count it once a month or not at all, I don't think many of us would count it every week, but its up to you:D, if you check back to page 8 of the thread I think Spoony gave a similar answer so if this doesn't make sense please let us know.

Hi zenshi :wave:
Indeed, Sazzie's echoed what I said a page or so back, I think, sorry if that wasn't clear

Hope you're OK now? If not, please just shout... we don't want any more "naughty doglet" episodes, do we?:D:D

Hi Allie23

Welcome to the NSD gang:wave:

Someone (Spoony:A probably) will get your target updated, let us know if you need any help, this challenge is all about learning when we spend and finding ways of not spending as much as often:o.

Thanks Sazzie :A and hi to Allie from me as well :hello:

You're on the front page post now, so pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable:)

Woohoooo to the NSDs:j:j but sorry about the bank balance:(

Hi everyone :wave:

I was going to do an update tonight but I've had a carp day and the forum is very slow so you'll have to make do with the front page posts being updated tonight.

Well done for all the NSDs today.... and to our newbies you're all doing great during your first week, keep it up now!!:j:j

Nargle and Beanie - do you need a kick up the bum? That usually works, ask HAW:D:D

See you all tomorrow for a wiggle:D

Lurkerderp

I'd like to declare my 1st NSD!!

I did get some internet shopping delivered from Mr A's but it hasn't come off my card yet so I'll count that for tomorrow.

Here's hoping for a no spend weekend .

Morning everyone :wave:

Just time for a quick wiggle this morning

I hope that today is a better day for you spoon.((hugs))

nargle I love reading your posts,you're so funny.I trust that with the intrepid Igor in tow,you will nab an nsd (or if not an nsd,you will nab something....:eek: ) very soon.:)

I won't manage an nsd today as I'm having a pedicure, which I have budgeted for.

I also realised that my budget-busting spends the other day were not so catastrophic,as two items were sun protection cream and I have a seperate budget for that.So I still have some pennies left.I might get some fruit and veg today and try to get my 4-in-a-row out of the way,starting tomorrow.

Have a great day folks.It's going to be a scorcher here.It is nice to see the sun again.:)

beach-holiday

Hey Folks :hello:

Welcome to Allie23 - I'm new here too

Thanks for the wiggle Spoony - that gave me a giggle this morning :rotfl:

Have a great day all
