The Awesome Amazing August NSD Challenge
Comments

Had another difficult day yesterday - my friend came up from London on Sunday and so it was a spendy day (train fare, cup of tea, dinner and a couple of tops for work), but then this seemed to open up some floodgates of emotion shopping wise and I spent the entire work day fighting my internal need to buy some clothes. I succeeded though (YAY) and so NSD 9 was mine. I went hope and made myself a skirt out of my fabric stash to make myself feel better haha. Needs hemming tonight but it must have worked cos I feel better today, even though I still want new clothes! Should be nsd today as well but I will update later (v sure it will be!)September 2016 GC £21.37/£1200

Foiled!!:mad:
I was all set up for my first NSD at work (having been off last week), I'd got my lunch & fruit & water bottle, and it was all going great until lunchtime.
Had to swap DS's school trousers for the next size up - and then I saw that the next size up were more expensive!!:shocked::shocked::shocked:
Its unlikely I'll avoid spends tomorrow, so it'll be Thursday before I can chalk up another one this week.LBM Dec 2013, Total Debt £31,992.06 Debt Free Date June 20220 -

Hmm..i might consider the right fitting trousers for DS an essential - after all, can't have him going to school in his pants :eek:
Well yesterday was on course for a NSD, until I spied something on the Debs site that was on my list - £15 down to £12, then a free delivery and 10% off code later £10.80 - so nearly 33% off the original price and someone is bringing it to my doorCan't use it just yet as other things to get done in the bathroom, but I know the theme, am hoping to make a pic for there out of a picture frame (please TKM have one like I want, or else charity shopping :think:) and a free wallpaper sample. Was a toss up between that and some lovley pics by a girl on etsy, not expensive, but the free wallpaper will save me £6
See, I haven't totally lost it this month - honest
Anyway, cannot be 'arrised to spend today so NSD #4.Feb 2015 NSD Challenge 8/12JAN NSD 11/16
