    Good Morning NSDers :hello:

    Yesterday I did my weekly shop and put my weekly amount of diesel into the car.
    It was all well within budget and all written from my meal plans

    soooooooooooooooo

    I am going to declare it as NSD #4 as nothing was spent that didn't have to be spent. :j:j:j

    Today I am hoping for a true NSD. :D:D

    Have a brilliant day everyone x x

    Thanks Mrs Doyle,I'd love a cup of tea!

    I'm hoping for #4 today.If I do spend,it'll be out of my grocery budget,so won't 'count'.I don't need anything.

    Who else is hoping for an nsd today?

    Good morning NSD gang, not a NSD today as top up shopping required, but it is still only the fifth of the month.

    Chef is burbling on about nipping to the coast of New England for a spot of lobster fishing? Trapping? Catching? Whatever.....Igor, I don't think a stick, a piece of string and a worm is going to do the trick, think again....
