  • Hi folks can I join again please? Sorry been AWOL for end of last challenge but I am away on hols with OH in the Scottish Highlands and we have just managed to get internet access.

    I will be back from hols on 4th August and until then no NSDs are likely!! After that I would like to try for 10NSDs for August. I will be doing the usual after holiday food shop when I get home but after that I am planning a No Spend Week!

    Good Morning!!!! Just wanted to say hello!
    :hello: And thank you for this, I am really quite motivated to do this!! I think I tried this exactly a year ago but fell by the wayside :o But not this time!!!
    Have just gone through everything in my freezer and just about to fire up the slow cooker (Yes I know it's going to be a hot day but making a Moroccan lamb thingy so not a winter stew ;) )
    Just wanted to wish you all good luck and looking forward to reading your achievements!!

    :hello: Hi all xx

    Big thank you to Freeby for the new thread :T

    Well July totally threw me and I've realised I need to get back into not spending slowly so it becomes a habit.....being five days off target has made me feel I'll never be able to get back into it so I need to reduce the target a bit and try harder; that way I wouldn't feel like I was (<<<insert the dreadful F word here:(:eek:) so I want to put myself down for 10 and hopefully try to better it

    Good luck and Happy August everyone

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Afternoon All!

    Can't believe it's August already. I will spending money today and tomorrow so will hopefully start counting NSD's at the weekend...
  • Total will fingers crossed be my first NSD! Been in work this morning, then got a subway for my lunch (used points so no pennies spent!) and now I'm home and no plans to go out again!

    I'm going to declare today as #1!I've got today off-work and am still not dressed.It's nice to have a day of lazing around.

    It's Swiss National Day today and the Swiss take it very seriously-lots of barbecues,fireworks and general merriment.:beer:

    I should have gone out (for a walk) earlier,but I think it's too hot now-30c or thereabouts.

    ModestyB sorry that you're having a tough time.Hope you feel better soon.

    freeby thanks.
  • :o Just realised I haven't set a target ..... it's been a very long time since I've done this ...... and I have developed a very bad habit of buying small amounts of groceries every couple of days (trying to avoid big shops at the weekends) ..... mmmmm AND an even bigger bad habit of going to the shops every lunchtime :eek: (I'm still not smoking :j but need something to fill the time with:o)

    So ..... will be starting off with a very low target and hopefully getting better ...... ohhhh and I've a hen night & a wedding this month :eek: and wages are down around £350 :eek::eek::eek: due to dropping a day (as I've not been well) .....

    Ohhh (have you missed me rabbiting on :o) .... lets see ..... 5 please
