    Got up this morning expecting today to be an NSD - then I heard the window cleaner at work, and this is the first not covered by the advance payments I made a few months ago !! I normally bob out and pay while he's cleaning, but decided to wait and see if they'd do payment collection tonight or tomorrow night.

    No-one's been round yet, and it's normally about 6pm when they come for money - so I think it's safe to say it'll be tomorrow (which is already a spend day as car is in for service & mot, plus I have the A1di vouchers to use on their last day!)

    So today is NSD #1 :T

    Tomorrow won't be, and neither will Friday (regular payment going out). Probably do Mr T shop on Friday as well, but if garage needs to keep car overnight the shop may have to shift to Saturday morning.......

    NSD #1 for me today :T

    Late night so OH bought a chippy. Loving the fact that he has his spending now, if it were a choice for me between having an NSD and spending on a chippy, I'd be happily eating beans on toast right now! He wanted a treat so it comes out of his spending and he runs the risk of running out later in the month (probably not true since chippy cost £4 and he already gets £70 more spending money than I do!!). Still - I think it's a win!

    Evening all, sorry I must update my sig. No NSD here yet I'm afraid
    Although I mainly stuck to my list today I did get an onion that wasn't on it and cutting through Wilko they had bath puffs for 10p each so picked up two. In short I lost a NSD for 29p off my list. But hey ho, there's time yet. I do need to get some items tomorrow for dinner on fri but they were on list today, just needed to double check the qty required. I must look at my rules for this going forward. X

    Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears.....I come to bury Caeser, not to praise him....and whilst I'm here I'll just chuck number 1 NSD into the Cauldron of Doom!

    Now for a mosey around the Forum......Igor, tell Hubert that genuine Roman sandals do not have pink stiletto heels.....and watch what you're doing with that sword, you'll have somebody's eye out....

    Right,as mentioned last month,have had a very stressful 3 weeks,and the effect of this period is going to last for aaaaages.Not exactly sure how long,but could well be 6-12 months.Financially there is also a knock-on effect,so there will be some serious belt-tightening in the Saver-upper household.

    I didn't post much last month,but was keeping count (posted final tally on June thread).While I was at it,I counted up my NSD's since doing this challenge(October).

    Well,despite not reachng target in June (life too stressful to plan stuff),since October I have had a total of 93/93 NSDs,so very pleased with that.Sounds like being on target,to me :rotfl::rotfl:.
    So,for July,am going to aim for 10 NSDs and at least one
    three-in-a-row :eek:
    Thank you for all your work,marmiterules :beer:
