    Nsd3 and 3-in-a-row for me. Today was supposed to be spendy (200 euro car repairs), but the part had not been delivered yet. It's not a vital part, and the broken bit is currently stuck on our black car with black tape, practically invisible ;-)

    Nipped down to the local shops, but all purchases were allowable food items - so that means today was NSD #2

    Realised this morning that next D/Debit isn't due out until next Monday, so if I sit firmly on my hands I may make my in-a-row in the first week :)

    Here's hoping I don't get notified of any can't-afford-to-pass-up-at-that-price DVDs before then :D

    An unexpected NSD today. The window cleaner came while we were out at a (free) baby music session. He left his card and I was hoping he wouldn't return tonight so I could protect my NSD status. He didn't!
    Happy to report 2nd NSD

    Thanks MIB xx

    I've been using the new look for a few weeks now and at first I couldn't find anything but once you get used to it it's not quite as bad. It does take longer to find things and I much prefer the old look.
    I am declaring early today as I am not leaving the house due to all that "warm rain" marmite so NSD #3 and I do declare my first 3 in a row of the month :j
    Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

    marmite sighs wearily.....I've changed to the new format :mad::mad::mad::mad: but I sent off a strongly worded email in protest. :D

    Right,update to follow,once I've calmed down.

    Yesterday was nsd #2 (food bought with grocery budget).

    I'm optimistically declaring today as nsd #3,as I plan to buy ice lollies only;also covered by said budget.

    Yes,Mrs Doyle,I'd love a cup of tea. :)

    No,Igor save those ferret and pilchard mini quiches for those who forgot to prepare a packed lunch. :rotfl::rotfl:
    I'm full up from breakfast still.

    PS don't worry scotmum,no ferret or pilchard was harmed in the making of said mini qhiches.They're both made out of quorn. ;)
