    NSD#7(yes,honest-I counted them 'n' everything!)
    My spending hasn't been to bad this month:all I have spent on is council tax(compulsory,unfortunately)groceries and school meals.Scouts,etc will start this week.
    I probably could have nabbed afew more NSD's except for quick trips to the local garage for supplies when they run out(milk is cheaper there than Tesco anyway).
    I hope everyone is keeping well.Sometimes it seems very quiet around here......

    Thanks ETO for the update:A

    I promise I will add up to where I was with NSD, yesterday was a little spendy over the household budget as I thought lodger would contribute , but apparently he's a bit short!!!:mad:

    Last week I bought a pair of Hot--- shoes in the half price sale - very happy feet:rotfl:

    Today - I hope should be a new NSD

    Have a good week everyone

    I'm declaring early today as I have no plans to do anything that involves spending money :D We have friends visiting so it's a day of hoovering, dusting and changing beds rather than shopping and spending!

    NSD #6 in Mooo Towers :D

    Morning! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. So I managed NSD # 5 & 6 over the weekend. Aiming for today to be # 7 but we shall see...
  • Yesterday was NSD 5 and today is NSD 6 :)
  • Today is #5.

    I'm feeling very motivated,as money is a bit tight this month.I'm still off sick,and probably will be for a while to come.


    Fingers crossed to get one tomorrow,which'll mean that I'll be able to claim my 4-in-a-row.
