The Naughty but Nice November NSD Challenge

Today was meant to be a NSD day for me and my boss was buying me lunch. He has cancelled and now I have to go buy some. Grrrr.

NSD 8 for me today

No NSD for me today I nearly made it - even took a flask of tea with me to the student union this afternoon, as I was meeting with students in the entranceway for about three hours (which is always freezing, and also right next to a Cost@). But it is also right next to another little store, and chocolate was more of a need than a want... oh well!

Editing because actually the remembering to take a flask down (and resisting the call of Cost@ muffins) was a pretty good achievement - that's always my downfall, as I am spending a lot of time sitting in that darned entranceway at the moment. So I want to end on a positive note that I managed to get yummy chocolate and a bottle of organic orange juice (needed as I am coming down with a cold!) for less than the usual price of a cup of bland tea at Cost@

Hooray!!

NSD no.7

:j Very pleased that I'm back on track! Could potentially get another 3 by the end of Sunday as I'm working 2 long days sat and Sunday so will be taking food and drink to work with me.
However, my GC isn't going quite so well so I've had to plan all meals for the next 14 days with all the things in our freezer, fridge and cupboards! I have approx. £11 left for food shopping to last til 27 November which is going to be difficult but it will test me and if I struggle it will certainly teach me to be more careful with money next month!

I rarely drink but if I do it's red wine, champagne and baileys. ( not all together :rotfl: ) they are pretty much the only drinks I enjoy. I'm sure that's an age thing too, and as a result of drinking far too much in my younger years. Just re read that and it makes me sound a little older than my 36 years. Hahahaha.

But oooo well done on the weight loss.

And of course you still have to give it a good go..... At least once in a while.....

ETO - I sometimes find myself getting nostalgic over bottles of Hooch, and some of the other drinks we used to have, did you ever have Brit Pop, another alcopop :beer:

No NSD here today, had some very sad news last night which resulted in me buying a card today, although frankly I couldn't have cared less about losing a NSD because of it - sorry guys Actually, had two lots of the same kind of news yesterday so it's been pretty awful start to the week and reminds me to be thankful who what I have in my life.

A spend day I brought a new pair of headphones that has to be taken back because they only work in one ear and a bunch of sweets to make a retro grab a bag to raise money for the Philippines crisis in college.

MissE & ETO, thanks for updating.

Sunday ended up a spend day as I went out for the afternoon before ending up at my parents for dinner.

Yesterday, was a d / d day so encompassed that with a trip to B*ots. Today my only spend was related to work and as I no longer include those days, I am at NSD4 (still feel a bit of a cheat though!). :eek:

Tomorrow will be a spend day as it's 2 4 1, Orange Wednesday at the cinema.

Charleybear, well done on your fundraising.

Kerri, sorry to hear about your sad news.

Kerri sorry about the bad news - yeah we have to count our blessings and be thankful for what we do have... (but it doesn't make it less painful)
