Just realised yesterday was NSD 3 :j

I did actually buy something - the daily express for the Aldi coupon but as I spent 50p to get £5 off (I shop there anyway) it's actually a negative spend as I'm £4.50 better off so I'm not counting it as a spend (can someone correct me if this is against the rules)

Kate - the rules have got to work for you.....and I agree the negative spend is even better than NSD :rotfl:

Good Afternoon folks,

I am able to declare NSDs 3 & 4 for wednesday and thursday, which makes it 3 & 4 in a row:snow_grin:xmassign:
No NSD on Thursday, Friday or today though, as I have been doing some grocery shopping:)
I hope everyone is well and has a good weekend:)

NSD 7 today as I'm at home feeling fed up with a chesty cough and cold. Have made a lovely big pan of easy leek and potato soup which cheered me up!

Thank you to those souls that manage this thread its a great motivator NOT to spend reading the posts

have given amazon and fleabay a wide wide berth
internet shopping and impulse buying has been my weakness in the past
how they make it feel like not real spending, but all that's gonna stop
I forecast to be debt free by feb 2015 and have transferred any debt to 0% cards
gonna throw everything at em and hopefully be debt free sooner

yaay NSD # 2

petrol tomorrow but that will be my only expenditure and unavoidable

keep on track folks

Definitely not a NSD for me today! Have finished the Christmas shopping though. And bought new work trousers and jeans (budgeted for and essential; the rest of my work trousers are literally falling off of me). The rest of the month should be pretty cheap now as the car is full of petrol and the fridge is overflowing, and I'm going home for Christmas on Thursday

Hi to...

Strandedinaber - Congratulations on finishing your Xmas shopping, and sounds like you've planned your month well. Good luck with nabbing your NSD's

Eh hem....no more NSD here....can't quite recall if I posted yesterday - don't think so as I was working until late (again) picked up some food essentials (ok the soup prob wasn't but the bread was) from Waitys as i was down that way, and changed some fabric pencils at the sewing shop for some fabric scissors. Still working on DN santa sack for xmas, long way to do still :eek: but modified design and font much better, and scissors are a godsend and well work the money to go into my sewing box.

Today I met up with a friend I used to work with, haven't seen each other for well over a year :eek: had lunch, a mooch around the shops and a festive coffee. Was really lovely to catch up although I fear I did most of the yapping Must not leave it so long next time. However, feeling much more festive now

Poor OH poorly again, hope he gets better soon, and doesn't give it to me for xmas. Can't believe its only 2 weeks & 4 days :eek: :xmastree:
