  • NSD number 7! Not quite as far ahead as I'd like but it's been OH's birthday weekend so couldn't really avoid it! Thankfully after tonight's weekly shop and petrol top up I should have no more out goings before next week's payday! Let's see how it goes!
    EDIT: besides a cheap night out made night in on Friday!

    NSD #13 bagged yesterday - nothing of much interest happened so no money was spent! Hopefully another today but will depend on if I have to pay the vets anything. Got some kittens from a rescue centre and they are going for their 2nd jabs but the rescue centre pay for them - as long as they don't need anything else - fingers crossed!

    Happy new kittens~enjoy:D

    NSD no 13 today.
    No car so am confined to barracks:eek:

    Declaring NSD number 8 today. :j

    We were going to pop out today but the weather has been dreadful so we stayed in. And now it's too late to go anywhere as I need to eat then little man needs feeding then it's his bath and bedtime.

    Definite spend day tomorrow. A lady locally to me makes little keepsake animals out of your baby clothes. So I'm taking mine round tomorrow and having a mummy and baby bunny made for us. Also need to pick up printer ink. Actually think that's it, but that's about £50 total.

    And have just signed up to lots of baby groups. As of next week we'll be going to baby yoga, baby massage, music group and swimming. :D will be paying in advance and not as we go thankfully, so will still get my NSD's. but may be scuppered by the car parking.

    If it's just the car parking for the groups ETO, you could exclude that from your rules. That way you're not tempted to pick up anything else while you're out. Works for me regarding petrol and milk.

    Evening everyone btw, well I can't believe yesterday afternoon I was sitting in 30 degree sun sipping sangria (not a many as I'd have liked as I had to drive back from the airport last night) In case any of you noticed my absence, we had a long weekend in Portugal which was really relaxed and lovely.

    Now home to the rainy Shire, bath still leaking, bath panel still off, washing to do, food shopping and back to work tomorrow - can you tell how thrilled I am to be home :( Oh, and I broke the gift for my DB today, got it all the way home, put to down on the bed, it knocked something else in the same bag and smashed. €3 down the drain and one miffed me :mad:

    Well, I'm counting three of the four days were were away as NSD (Fri I treated me and OH to brekkie at the airport) I did have to visit the cashpoint on our last day :eek: but as it's a foreign / holiday spend i'm not counting that. Need to work out the damage though. Between that and all the work we've had done in the garden / house recently, the account is looking very poorly.

    That, including today takes me up to 9 NSD - which would be great if there weren't so many flipping expenses atm. OH car MOT due next week too, then my insurance in Oct, it just never seems to stop. Deff seem to have the post-holiday blues.

    Right, off to mash spuds for dinner tomorrow night (supposed to be tonight but I was later back from food shopping than planned)
