    Can anyone find me a sunnier palm trees animation please? I got the 1st prize one on https://www.heathersanimations.com and couldn't find any others.
    We need lots of sun!
    Thanks. :)

    On the Notice to Newcomers thread ifwisheswerehorses and UpsidedownBear are geniuses at finding animations/pictures, you might want to pick their brains.

    Evening everyone

    Well as some of you know I have had a horrendous last 5 weeks due to a very close family bereavement. And I have really lost the plot with spends since. So I'm going to try and come back for December and try to finish the year with a little bit of control. Im also hoping this will help as a distraction.

    So I will set myself a target of 10 NSD's please.

    Hope everyone's well, and thank you Marmite for running the thread again

    Hi everyone, I would like to join this challenge please. :)

    I am going to go for a target of 6 NSD's. I should manage this no problem as the only time I really spend money is at work. For each of the 6 days I will pay an extra £1 off my debt, and for any days beyond that I will just be happy that I haven't spent any money. :)

    Good luck to everyone and me. :)

    Welcome to all newbies and oldies, marmite will add you to the list and Igor will rustle up some warming hot chocolate with today's speciality cake ( oh Igor, butterfly cakes are called that because you trim the tops into wing shapes, not because....oh let's not go there...) ....I should give the cake a miss if I were you...

    Looking forward to sun, sea, sand and lots of samba-ing next month!
