    NSD 2 for me.


    Tomorrow should be as well, but not Friday, as I might order my slow cooker, so that will be money spent to help me save money in future, if that makes sense!

    Hey there I'm back again for this month, last month was a really horrible month I got dumped.again!
    And I lost track of my nsds.

    I'd like to sign up for 20 NSDs,
    And I've got 4 NSDs already.

    Sorry to hear that, with all the ups and downs it seems that perhaps you're not quite right for each other no matter how hard you sometimes wish it. His loss, and you have all of us here for a dodgy group hug when you need one :grouphug:
    So, on the recommended reading list today are The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. Read those and it will stop you spending money and increase your NSD totals.

    I read hitch hikers and the rest of the series when I was a teenager and Red Dwarf was all the rage, must revisit them again. Seem to recall hitch hikers was the best, wonder if my view will have changed?

    NSD #4 today, been manic at work, managed a 20min walk round town to get some fresh air but no spending, even in the m&s foodhall :A

    A decidedly frosty boot camp this morning, at least it's getting lighter at that time though.

    could you put aside the money for zumba at the beginning of the month?Then you could count ithe days that you go as nsds.

    I take my Zumba money out of my £10 weekly "pleasure" allowance, which is sorted out at the start of the month and put into envelopes, so I suppose I could technically count it as a NSD.

    It may seem a bit premature, but I'm declaring today an NSD as I'm working from home today and I won't be setting foot out of the house all day. Lunch and dinner are planned and I have all the ingredients in already, and we're well stocked with bread and milk. As yesterday was also an NSD that takes me to 5 in-a-row (and in total).

    ETO good to hear from you. Hope Master ETO soon settles down, you think you are in a settled routine then Baby moves the goalposts. This will soon pass.

    Leopard is the chap in question the same one who broke up with you before and came begging for another chance? If so, you're well shot of him.
    Either way, you should not be using terms like "I've been dumped" as it puts you in the mind set of being worthless, rubbish, and you are worth more than that. Start thinking along the lines of "he ended our relationship" or "we went our separate ways" and look to the future. You have probably had a lucky escape.

    (Climbs off soapbox)

    NSD-wise, I think I spy Igor on the horizon with a wriggling sack, so it's either an NSD or tonight's dinner....
    One life - your life - live it!
