    Just one more NSD to go before I reach my target - can't believe how 'in control' I've been this month - maybe this is the start of a new me!!!
    We are going out this weekend and I'm even thinking about how I can provide lunch for the two of us without going out and spending.

    This is great when it happens,I agree. :beer:

    What is a Tilly Tidy please?

    They were created by Tilly who is over on the MFW boards, it is when you round down your bank account, either to the nearest 5 or 0! Yesterday I tidied my account by £5.71 to get it to the nearest whole number! People will do it at different times, every time I spend I'm popping on to tidy it, its a nifty way to add to your savings without missing it too much!

    I would have posted this before,but couldn't access tinypic.com

    Ok,we have some fab numbers coming up! :j

    We have a total of 378 nsds,and,with our usual 43 active participants,we have a super average of 8.8 nsds each.

    The 0.8 does count I've decided,because we're so close to getting an nsd average of 9...All we need are 9 more nsds. ;)

    So,I am appealing to all of you: keep the moths inside your wallets,purses and pockets for a bit longer! :money::money::money:
