Good Morning! :j

Hope you all have a wonderful day. I hope it will be a NSD for me again but I'm waiting for my new glasses to arrive. The lady said 7 -10 days so I'm looking forward to that (and it will be pricey ... :mad: )

Oh blimey! I better break out the needles again (what colour should I make the long johns this time?) and with a day of frantic knitting ahead of me I am claiming number 2 (and 2 in a row :T)

The lady just called: I get my glasses tomorrow! :T How do you count that? Do you count it as a spending day or do you not count it since it's an essential? (so a NSD) ? Aah, I'm confused.

Hi there.

You could:
-count the day you ordered them as the spend day (this is what I would do)

-if you decide it's a essential spend then you can choose not to count it.

-you can also choose to not count it if you are within budget.A lot of folk do this.

Counting the day that they arrive doesn't really make sense. :rotfl:

Oh boy,writing this has made me realise that I don't have a monthly budgeted amount to replace my glasses eventually. :eek::eek::eek:
Luckily I've just finished pulling my hair out for the last hours,and my bugdet notebook is all up to date.Honestly,you take your eye off the ball for a few weeks and madness ensues!
Using a bashed up abacus (thanks Hubert) doesn't help either.

'runs off to add a 43rd item to budget list!'

PS I'm just being nosey here,but what is your mother tongue?

Rent and groceries yesterday but happy to get NSD 1/10 out of the way today. Made a batch of three bean soup for a few day's lunches and cracked the spine on my land law textbook. Fairly productive day

Thank you! Well I think I'm going to combine your points 1 & 2. I've ordered them last week so it's basically a September spend Plus I really needed some new ones since the ones I have now are like 7 years old (I know I know, don't judge me )

Oh and my mother tongue is luxembourgish

By the way NSD # 2 today :T

Penguins86

Today I am pleased to declare...It's the weekend! (well sort of - school is closed tomorrow though I'll be busy doing planning anyway!) and also NSD #1 I have so far resisted the urge to purchase lockets/soothers/similar though I may have to give in tomorrow!!

Sign me up please.


Aiming on 20 NSD's


Its going to be a money strapped month so need to keep those pennies in my pocket

Butti

Please sign me up for my usual 10 NSDsplease and I'll see if I can do it this month.
House completion expected around 22nd November :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j so I can see it being a tight month followed by a crafty Christmas. But as this house has central heating maybe not a cold draughty one! :rotfl:

Not sure I've managed to fill my mileage form in correctly this month either so I could be £95 down!!! Great timing..... ICT meltdown!
