NST: September: the Turtles go Wombling

Bobarella

Thanks Dolly, that's a nice thing to say. It's been a funny day. Quite good for the first 2 hours but this heavy rain has killed it a bit. Really hoping for some lunch trade

Sun's coming out so fingers crossed!

Hi folks sorry been missing last few days.

Had a fun few days off work, used my Nat. Trust card one day, zoo card another, beach walk another day, yesterday trip cute village hadn't been for years, lovely walk by river. Haven't really spent too much either. Had 2 SFD, bought myself a new winter t shirt and few bits for house one day came to 18.00. Yesterday was my turn to pay for lunch but seeing as not spent or used my car much bargain at 20 pounds.

Fmess what a good neighbour you are so many people just are in so much of a rush don't notice little things.

Catch up on reading later.

40 pounds paid off debt today. Will update signature in a bit.

Hello,

back from the triathlon and the holidays, the effect of which was completely undone within two hours back at work, grrrrr. Anyway, had a fantastic time and will update/read back tomorrow or Wednesday, depending...

Bobarella

Thrifty - how did you go on the Tri?

Fmess such sad news about your neighbour.

Calling sounds like you've had a lovely few days off work

Bob hope trade picked up at lunchtime.

Thifty glad to hear you had a fantastic holiday and well done on the triathlon.

academia hope you had a fun time at the hen do

Yesterday was a NSD, 8/20. Today I bought a card for my friends son and a few food supplies. Tea tonight is sweet chilli sausages, wedges and veg. We've still not done a proper food shop so still continuing to mostly make do with what we've got.

I'd love to say this was me bob but I think it was calling you were congratulating Well done calling

bob - I hope you had more trade over lunchtime

academia - well done you for driving so far, you are a very good friend

Today has been another SFD. I just feel like coming home and getting in my PJs at the moment, so as it was raining, I didn't walk the dogs and we've all stayed in this evening, whilst I have been doing school work. Had a lovely tea of roast veg and grilled halloumi

Hello Everyone, :wave:

Sorry I have been AWOL it's been a busy and spending weekend oops !!

Bobarella what does PAD stand for ??
Misstara Hope you get well soon.
Nannyg How lovely to get a surprise trip, hope you had a nice time.
Fmess I am sorry to hear about your neighbour. You give me hope though that there are still lovely people in the world.
applemuncher Please don't worry about the payments you are doing so well. Plus you have started the Christmas shop

I am determined to get some NSD this week.

Thank you for the 12 month plan applemuncher, my plan is as follows .

We want to have £4000 saved for house deposit and to have our debt paid off £6000.

How am I going to do this ? lock myself away ? have my debit card taken off me ?.:wall:
In all seriousness I really need to knuckle down and get focussed. This is turning out to be an expensive month. Plus I have my first visit back home since moving and Christmas is coming, the thought of it all is making me feel sick.:eek:

On a positive note I have lost half a stone on Slimming World
I am due to start my Teaching Assistant and Maths course next week so that should keep me away from shops!

Apologies for the really long post.

Hope everyone has a nice evening and a good day tomorrow.

Night all

Whoops! Sorry about that Fmess. I don't know why I wrote that

Lucky Starr - PAD is payment a day. One of the challenges on here. It's a way of focusing on paying small amounts towards the debt.

Really quick check in tonight to declare another NSD - but no extra payments because things are just getting a bit tight for the rest of the month at the moment. I stretched myself right at the beginning of the month so need to watch myself now.
