    ...was about to buy a pair of pyjamas in Sainsbury's for £6 and then remembered it was an NSD so I didn't :D I love clothes shopping on an NSD - it's very very quick :rotfl:

    So....NSD 5
    and no pyjamas bought.

    A low spend day for me today. Treated my friend to a coffee while we had a long overdue catch up, although as it was early I got a saving of £1.20 to make it £3 for 2 extremely good and decent sized coffees!

    Went into Tescoids to get a free milkshake (voucher in the metro today) and nearly bought some reduced tuna steaks as well but didn't want to ruin the NSD so left just with my free drink :j

    its going quite well this month! Might even exceed the target...

    :hello: Hi all xxx

    Hi kathy.If you don't mind,I'll wait until you get your first target,and claim that prize,before increasing your target.You don't want to miss out on a lovely ice cream cone surely! :)


    Very true, ice creams are always appreciated :)

    So.............not only was today an NSD bringing me up to 11 :D I also had an e mail from the parking fines..............They have let me off :j Just this once (as they put very firmly in the letter) so more concentration from me and great relief that I don't have to shell out £35 :j I suppose I should just stick the permit in place with sellotape but it might sound silly but since the attempted burgulary a few months ago I just get really paranoid leaving it on show..............silly really as it only shows the area I can park in not my full address, need to get over that I suppose.....

    Right I am carefully planning as I know I will be really tight next month but have two trips to London and a trip to mum's to take into account so I am planning to shop on Sunday morning as I get paid from my second job early and I know I only have £30 that I can use out of it as the rest is tied up in a DD and two card payments so that should stop me going over a shopping limit. Have got all cards put away at home and am really going to knuckle down over the next few months, the drop in pay is starting to tell a bit but the lack of stress really makes up for it.

    On a mega plus side I am not giving in to cravings for chocolate and other sugary stuff s I want NSDs :) So the waistline must be improving a bit too.....................so yes I'll definitely go for the virtual ice ceam and change my target later :)

    Celebrations time at Chateau Nargle as DS has got 11 GCSEs. One C, three Bs, four As and three A*s!!!!! He worked hard for them and we are very very proud.

    So, it is steak and chips tonight with a bottle of wine, steak from Ald1 which I took out of the freezer last night, home made chips, wine from Ald1 which is already in the wine rack waiting for such an occasion. Add a home made plum crumble and there is our celebratory meal, without a single penny being spent today, so hopefully will have a NSD to chuck into the Cauldron later.
