    Today will be NSD #5 of 10 for the month. Didn't do any shopping over the weekend but had a planned spend day Friday when I paid for our camping fees; had lunch in a pub on Saturday, but this wasn't from the grocery budget but the petrol budget, LOL. DH used less petrol as he used his scooter for 3 out of 5 days last week so easily enough to pay for our lunch!

    NSD yesterday and today. Think I'm going to meet my target easily this month as now halfway.

    Didn't manage a NSD yesterday (although was a very LSD) but hopefully will be NSDs 5-9 this week - and another 4 in a row fingers crossed!

    Happy Monday all! :D

    Actually managed a NSD yesterday! :eek: Very unusual for a weekend! Very nearly had one on Saturday too but the call of coffee and caramel waffles was just too tempting :o

    That's me up to 4 NSDs. Very well done to everyone else - I see there are a few in the double figures already :T

    (PS. Love the 'password' daily pic IF!! Sent OH a copy!!)

    Going to be a spendy day for me. Taking DD to cinema and the cupboards are bare so a trip to A$da is needed.

    Afternoon all!

    I spent on each day of my long weekend but I think I should pretty much be prepared for this week shopping wise to have a few NSD's.

    I needed to get one thing today and used supermarket voucher to cover the cost so will declare today as NSD # 3.
