    Well done MissE!!!!!

    For any newbies, wondering why the first thread mentions the "Serptember No Spend Day thread", it was a typo on October's first page, and I have no problem if it stays there, it can be the resident typo that gets people thinking "who are these lunatics?"

    So, MissE and EvertheOptimist are our new thread guardian angels, and you may see Sazzie popping up now and then with a brief update. I am happy to help out if you need me, just shout. And I think the job of awarding prizes to those who reach their targets can be open to anyone who wants to contribute. Ifwishes sometimes posts the thread ground rules at the top of each new page, but if If is otherwise engaged, anyone can feel free to repost the rules bit if they think a reminder is needed. This is a democratic thread, we are "all in it together" (where have we heard that one before?) and we will gather in those NSDs!
    And anyone who utters the F word ( as in "I have failed.." )....oh my goodness, what a terrible fate awaits you! All NSDs are worth celebrating. Now, has anyone any ideas for a suitable punishment for uttering the F word? In the past we have had death by tickling with a soggy paintbrush, death by smotheration with a sack of mouldy kippers, and death by having Jaws the shark get up close and personal. All ideas gratefully received and I think MissE and EvertheOptimist can make the final selection.

    Post updated to here :)

    [FONT=&quot]AnnieBox [/FONT][FONT=&quot]and[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]OutofDebt-NOT-OutofDanger [/FONT]- [/FONT]Welcome back – real life gets in the way for all of us now and again. I guess the important thing is to come back :)

    [FONT=&quot]Nargle [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- [/FONT] I like your idea of taking suggestions of punishment for mentioning the F-word….I have to say that someone else in our NSD gang will need to administer said punishment as I don’t think either ETO or me have the technical abilities to manage it… Oh, and I've updated the typo so we're all now in November :rotfl:

    [FONT=&quot]and[/FONT][FONT=&quot] SpottyKnickers [/FONT]- [FONT=&quot]Welcome, it’s lovely to have you on board….I must warn you that this can become addictive and is really good for stopping the impulse spends – good luck[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Sazzie23 -[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thanks for the offer of keeping the in-a-rows up to date. Do you want me to keep updating the first post with the numbers and you can track them on a separate post?[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Saver-upper [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- [/FONT]I started doing my pots a couple of months ago and have found it really helpful. Good luck

    [FONT=&quot]Traveller[/FONT] - [FONT=&quot]Aiming high! Good luck with the highlighting [/FONT]....

    And welcome back to beanie, ETO (my new partner in crime) and fedup :hello:. Here we go for another month - how can it be nearly November already?
