    Well Good Morning to all you lovely lot.

    Hit the 300 mark already :T We are brilliant. :A

    NSD #16 for me yesterday and going for a week of them this week. I need to stay in control of my budget which seems to be getting ever tighter and tighter :(

    Beanie - Great to see you, I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend and target smashed too - Well done missus :T:T

    Rising - Yay :j:j A 100% increase in your NSDs :rotfl: Well done.

    Kerri - I lurrvvve blackberries but they aren't quite ready up here yet. I think everything in Scotland is three weeks behind everything else - no funny comments please :p

    Sazzie - Just wanted to say "Hi" :D


    Have a great day everyone :T

    Morning Freeby, Hello :)

    Have the rest of the day off, so planning on catching up with a few jobs and possibly visiting the shops (but I might put if off again :rotfl:) Least I've avoided that Monday morning feeling
    Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.

    IF: hope your leg is still intact :)

    Jelly: your focaccia looks yummy! Very tasty! And you make it sound so simple too :o

    Thrifty: all I can say is :eek: My last wash/cut/blowdry cost me £14!!! :o

    Rising: get well soon!

    Spoon: miss you!!

    Spendy weekend but expected! Time to get the head screwed back on again now!!

    Thanks everyone for the updates as always :D

    EDIT:
    Oops. Spendy day :( Wasn't meant to be either! Had great intentions...

    ...but had seen a pair of 3/4 trousers in DV8, originally £100, previously reduced to £50, now £30... :o

    Haven't decided if I'm keeping them though. Taking them home to try with different tops/footwear before I decide...

    I managed to spend £29 in the farm shop yesterday so way over budget but the fruit, veggies and salad looked so amazingly fresh and good quality that I couldn't resist. Extra large free range eggs were £1.49 for 6 (so I bought 12 :o ) and their cheese was on special offer. I also have to confess that I bought a bottle of wine (not from the farm shop!!). :o So £34 in total. :o

    Now I have surpassed my July spending, the rest of the month will be damage limitation. No more food shopping for me until the middle of next week which looks doable at the moment. 8 for me today please.

    Kerri, it really grates me when you wait in specially for a delivery or workmen and they don't turn up. I hope you get it sorted.

    Afternoon everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend.

    I made NSD # 5 & 6 over the weekend. I feel like I am really behind this month as I'm only half way through target but I am sure I will get there in the end!
