The "Just Keep Swimming" July NSD Thread

stripeyjumpergirl

My lunch plans for today got cancelled, but the silver lining is that I got a surprise NSD, so I'm ending the month with a total of 12! Hope to get August off to a good start with another one tomorrow. Thanks for all the fab updating and motivation this month! :j

Me too, life is just crap sometimes, there is bound to be good things for us just around the corner

It is indeed, Freeby, sometimes I think I must have been Ghengis Khan in a previous life :eek: Fingers crossed for both of us, eh? :A

Ah well I was going to p.m. you and Sazzie about the updates. I think we should see how it goes without doing them annd I will come and total up most evenings/mornings. We can all keep each other motivated and encouraged. What does everyone think????

That's fine by me, Freeby, I'm happy to do whatever anyone else is happy with

Just dandy :rotfl: I just need to be a bit more on top of things than I have been recently

Don't be so hard on yourself, running this challenge takes a bit of time - as I know - and sometimes we can't fit everything in

Wow, well done on that grocery spend, how many was that for and were there any things you excluded from it? Reckon I spent about £175 last month (pay day to pay day) for two of us, plus Kitkat - although that was me trying to be pretty good (read: couldn't be bothered to food shop in the heat :rotfl:)

It's the last day in July ? Gulp that means its another month gone already :eek::eek:

Regards updates, Freeby :A you do all the hard work adding up etc, so whatever works for you, You don't need to update twice a day everyday unless its your choice.

Rounding the month off with NSD #18 :j Did spend 99p on a french stick but that came out of the house food budget so doesn't count.

Good news is that my bite seems to be getting better (well at least no worse) the rash hasn't got any bigger, in fact it's starting to fade near the edges and it's deff not as hot as it was yesterday (although it was on fire at 2am this morning :eek:) Turns out a few other people there have had the same thing, we think it might be red ants. Deff not a mozzie as I don't react to them anything like that, and it's not come up with a spot like mozzies do,

Well hump day done and downhill to the weekend, though frankly my week has been somewhat downhill since monday and not in a good way

marmiterulesok

#18 today,so target reached.:j

Phew.
