    Addicted2shopping – what a shame you lost track – I’ve added the one you declared yesterday to what you had already shared so that takes you to 3 NSDs :T


    BigMummaF –dizzy heights indeed with #20. And yay to having to buy trousers in a smaller size….almost worth losing a NSD for :rotfl:


    Blubella – what a great month you’ve had with getting to NSD #14 and #15 :T:):T

    Butti – well done on #9 :j

    Fedupandskint – you’re amazing – 30 NSDs meaning you smashed your target….and only had 1 unplanned spend all month – wow :A:T:A

    Delilahh, Giggles86 and QueenB – lucky for some (well for the 3 of you) #13 . And QueenB, don’t worry about not getting to your target – 13 NSDs are not to be sniffed at :A

    Jammydodger – fantastic achievement with #22. Sounds like you’ve had a great month paying off credit cards and not adding to them with pesky internet shopping…that’s one of my downfalls :T:rotfl:

    Jaxsmar – another target smashed with NSD #23 :j

    Jonesy88 – thanks for dropping in to tell us about meeting your target – 20 NSDs is fantastic :j:T:j

    Kate_Fixing_It – exceeding your target with NSD #19 – congratulations:T


    Kerri gt – dry January and NSD #15 and #16….could there be a connection? :beer::T

    KnitWitch – you’ve really smashed your target now with #24 :T:j:T

    Lovefullshelves – :j to baggy-days helping you get #22 and well done on #23 and #24 :T

    Marmiterulesok - #18 so only 1 more to get to your 2nd target of 19…sorry about making it 20 :D

    Moomin – you’ve done so well this month with 15 NSDs :T


    Pennypinchingpenguin – nearly there with #9 in the bag :j


    Sazzie23 – well done on getting to your target with #21 and #22 :j:):j


    Cw18 – welcome back…hope to see you on February’s challenge :)

    Parsimonia – hitting 2 out of 3 of your targets is exceptional :T:A:T

    cw18 love the sound of your plans for long distance walking
    ive done a few long walks on routes with my tent but finding the "lugging" of all my gear takes the enjoyment out of the actual walking these days :(
    i did 144 mile route last year but think i would need a donkey to tag along and carry my burden. as i love to wild camp en route maybe i could use a bag on wheels :D havent made plans yet for this year but love the sound of yours

    well the last day of Jan and my total now is 23#NSD so pleased so i have only "spent on 8 days but upping my game for Feb
    Off she toddles to join in February fun
    See you all over there
    Thanks for keeping us in line MissE001

    I'm not camping. It's actually illegal for most of the route, unless you find a land owner who'll give you permission to put up tent in their garden / field. I'll be staying in hostels which are similar to our youth hostels (but much more basic in most cases, and with 20 or 30 sets of bunk beds in a single mixed sex room being a distinct possibility!)

    So I stayed on 15/16 for January. There was something on eBay which I just couldn't pass on. :o

    MissE001 :p prob not that much of a connection to me NSD and dry Jan, don't go out so much these days as we used to but it does mean that all the Xmas vino is still sitting in the wine rack....until tomorrow :rotfl:

    jammy dodger you could always take Hubert walking with you, and Igor as head chef

    Cheryl lovely to see you back, your walking challenge sounds amazing, you could always adjust your rules to accommodate your new shopping habits if that worked for you.

    Well, no NSD here. Had some false lashes applied. never had them done before and we were supposed to be going out tomorrow night but plans one changed unfortunately. Since it wasn't too extortionate I thought I'd keep the appt to see how they were for future ref. like the look, but they feel a little off and my eyelids feel a bit sore so I might have a slight reaction to the glue used (they are the flare type that are in little bunches rather than a big strip) not quite sure how long they will last, and I'll see if I get used to them. They feel a bit scratchy when I close my eyes tight, could be interesting sleeping tonight :T

    Oh, then spent £4 in super drug on some hair spray. One a variation of what I normally use, and one that apparently makes straight hair wavy when drying it....we shall see if it works on my poker straight locks. Both were about £3.80 each or £4 for both. :money:

    If I allowed food and accommodation I reckon I'd have almost a straight 8 week run of NSDs, 'cos if I buy anything else I have to carry it the rest of the way and that's enough to frighten me off impulse spending :D
    and one that apparently makes straight hair wavy when drying it....
    I need one that works the other way around ;) I'm fed up of the 'are they waves or ringlets' I get regardless of whether my hair dries naturally or under a dryer. The only way to get rid of them is straighteners, and as I hate using a dryer I'm certainly not using straighteners apart from before a special event outing.......

    I'll give you a loan of my poker straight flop for a week, you'll be wanting your waves back in no time :D

    Well, I think my final total for January is 19! 3 past my original aim of 16.


    It's been a busy week round here, and pretty horrible weather all week as well!


    Have a good weekend all!
    Because it's fun to have money!
