    I have had 3 NSDs so far but today I gave £3.00 to charity.
    Aiming for a minimal spend 2022
  • Well done on the NSD's - I haven't had any so far!

    Spending money like it's going out of fashion which has to stop!

    Hurrah for the New Forum. I have put it in capital letters as it feels important. Today was a NSD but yesterday i spent £4 on my best friend at work as she was having a bad day. This weekend i will not spend any money and i will do lots of horrid marking. lol. 
    I am hoping to sell £4 of clutter. Hurrah i have been waiting for ages for the lady to collect it.

    Hi SW, I managed to sign in ! Not sure I like this new place.  Cant see your capital letters. Not sure how I get to the latest post without having to go to the first post every time and then move to the end of the thread. Cant seem to get the emoji's to work and the post you made has overwritten your signature so I cant read it easily. Lets hope these are teething problems they will sort out.

    Well done on supporting your friend today. Hope the lady turns up to buy your clutter

    • Hello Skinty and Dolly, my signature has returned which I am v pleased about but Skinty your's hasn't been sorted. I wonder how long it will take to be perfect. I miss the colours. Anyway it's the weekend Hurrah. The lady has collected my stuff and paid me £5 which is one pound more than expected. I have decluttered a bit which is great.

    Im not sure about the lack of colour here now, guess we will get used to it. That was nice getting an extra pound off the buyer. Hope you are feeling ok now. Time to tighten our belts again I think, Ive been a bit spendy too.

    It's easy to spend, drip drip drip and your money is gone.  I am trying to cut back as much as possible. So far I have had another 4 NSDs between Friday and today. However, the rest of the week will be expensive though as I have some garden fences to change and a hospital appointment to add in.

  • oh dear SW did the wind blow your fences down ? They are not cheap to replace are they.
