  • We have a brilliant total of 342 nsds!!! Yay!!! :j:j:j

    That's 21 more than this time last month. :beer:

    Who will reach target today?slowly fading- we're all watching with baited breath....Tune in later for the thrilling installment.....:)

    Any ideas for November's thread?It could be Bonfire Night (with Igor in charge,it could be a recipe for disaster! :( ) or a wintery theme of staying toasty warm?

    Thinking caps,thinking caps.

    Hi all - thank you:). I still have my job and I got a PPI payout this week so things are both bad/good. Hope to snag an NSD today.

    That's good to know.
    Good luck getting an nsd today. :)

    Don't you think that that's a bit depressing?I was thinking of soemthing more upbeat.

    Bonfire Night -treacle toffee,fireworks,toffee apples,roasted chestnuts....

    Winter - hot chocolate,hot toddies,hot water bottle,snowmen...

    You get the idea...:D

    PS I hope you enjoy your meal out and stay under budget. :j

    Oh god,


    I've not updated you- so could you add 4 NSDs so far to my target of 10. Not as easy as I thought it would be- however, I hadn't really read the first post properly and I should have followed the point about putting money into a pot for things like parking etc etc on an already spendy day.


    If I had followed this I could probably have had several more days but hey you learn. I guess I was thinking that if I physically gave the money away then I was spending but seems I can bend the rules to fit. Anyway, not the end of the month yet so maybe I can do some more good.

    (left)

    I've been AWOL for a few days and am just about to get off to the retreat so won't be back until Sunday night but came in to say I got one on Saturday and one on Wednesday so I'm up to 14 :D

    Monday I was in London and managed to keep it low, Tuesday was low but annoying as unnessessary, coffee while out and stuff!! Thursday was my big spendy day; cat's injections and filled up with petrol today. Have no plans on spending for the next two days but will check in when I get back.

    Haven't got time to catch up on thread so hugs to all that need them and well done all on NSDs

    Back soon xx

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Did really well food and petrol wise yesterday and only bought necessities within budget, so would have allowed myself a NSD on that basis

    I then, however, let myself down with a wedding purchase not within budget. I therefore do not benefit from number 16 as yet!

    Today is also unlikely to be NSD, but I will update you in that respect at another time!

    Happy Friday Folks!
