Hi all! Calling in to report number 3/12 ...one quarter of the way there!

I managed to do all my spending yesterday, when I was already going to be getting the purse out, and a couple of other bits of making do has meant I don't need to spend again today!

Off to chase number 4...

:hello:Hello all on this chilly evening xx

Hope you are all keeping warm

Managed to make it number 4 today :j. Am wondering whether to make tomorrow or Sunday a spendy? Need some electric but want to hang on to getting a ticket for London until my mate gets back to me to see if I can stay over as it would work out cheaper than two separate day returns, will know by tomorrow though so can decide

Glad we are all doing so well :j

NSD #2 yesterday. Transferred some money between accounts for imminent house move but it hasn't actually been spent yet! It's going to be an expensive week next week (though not as expensive as first thought thanks to new stamp duty rules) so hoping for at least one NSD this weekend.

NSD #5 for me today! I did some Christmas shopping yesterday and can proudly say: I already have two gifts! Now I just need a few more but I will only spend one day to get them all (more NSDs for me then ha!)

i have had a rethink and have decided not to include groceries in my nsd challenge. I'm finding that because DD and I are veggie we go through a lot of fruit and veg which I like to buy as fresh as I can which means shopping every other day/ If I buy anything other than essential groceries then I will declare them as spends. On that note I bought a bottle of wine today so that wasn't essential so still no NSD 2

Wine is made from grapes, grapes are fruit - therefore it doesn't count

Well no NSD today, I did two food shops, on in Lidl and one in A$da to pick up things they don't have in Lidl - got a lot of new veggie things for OH to try, snacky things for us for the run up to 'that day' and treated myself to some smoke salmon too. Spent more than planned but I've deff saved a lot not going there in the past couple of months so I wasn't tooooo worried. That will prob be the last big shop before 'stuff yourself silly day' now anyway - just need the trimmings and drinks really.

BUT, I did end up in Waitys and picked up some spiced aubergine and goats cheese parcel things - down from £4.99 to £1.49 :money: will do me and OH for a dinner as he's veggie and I'll eat anything (well, perhaps except Igors 'vintage' sprout curry - a la - reheated from 2009 :eek:) and then I swung back round to Lidl to pick up some praline sea shells for my friend as I'm popping over there for lunch on Mon. Both of those came out of my purse so np NSD.

BUT yesterdat was NSD #2 :j

just put our decs up, so only baking, final wrapping, card writing and final present buying to do now....:eek::eek::eek:
