    Sunday was a spend day - well kinda. I bought takeaway, but the oh paid for it, so does it really count?? Haha
    I'm going to say yes so spend on the 1st
    However, yesterday was a nsd so currently on 1/15

    Not going to make my 3 in a row this week as its sil birthday tomorrow and we're going out for food. That's not gonna do my NSDs or my diet any good. But hey. It's only once a year.
    Or once a week ATM as other sil was last Monday and mil is next Wednesday. Gah!

    But I will get that 3 in a row! Determined to!

    Well done on #1! :j:j

    As for the '3 in a row',you've got loads of time. ;)

    Today may be a spend day depending on the cake situation at work! :D

    Yay to #2! :j:j
    Did someone say cake? :D
    NSD2 for me today :)

    Another #2,this time from stripeyjumpergirl!
    Thank you. :j:j
  • Igor, may I suggest the next time you decide to stuff 146 voles into a suitcase that you dose them up with Valium first?

    Go and see Mrs Doyle for some ointment for your you-know-what. Then get knitwitch to measure you up for some new trousers.

    Hubert, stop giggling. You're next for vole-stuffing duty.

    Honestly Igor,I expected more from you....so what if there is a massive surge of voles knashers advancing up your bonnie legs...fight,man,fight....
    And Hubert? When you have finished cramming those 150 voles into jodies' suitcase, go and check on the firework supplies, I think a big celebration will be called for!

    Hubert may need therapy.....where are we going to get the money for that...and I'm sure that that encounter will not have done his nervous bladder any favours. :(

    Now we have 160 voles on the warpath.

    I think we need to speak to Helga about her vile voles. :mad:

    *Hubert, a quick word in your ear...if you should happen to mention fireworks when Cheffie is present,don't call them fireworks,call them 'treacle toffee'.
    Cheffie and fireworks are not a good combo,and the last thing we need is Cheffie all riled up and trigger happy. :eek:
  • I'm taking my PC in to be repaired today...hope it can be sorted.
    I'll update tomorrow certainly.

    Ahhhhhh,the voles are revolting!Get the ammo out!*

  • NSD 3 for me, I resisted the temptation to get cake at work and instead ate my HM lunch!

    Spaghetti and meatballs are on the menu tonight and bubbling along nicely!

    Tomorrow will be a speedy day, out for dinner with some really good friends! Always nice!

    NSD number 2 over here.
    I've gotta get some passport photos for friday for a temporary job work ID, so I figured as I'm already having to spend tomorrow (more than I was initially intending - the original plan was to get a takeaway in - so like £5-£6 each - it has now turned into a meal at jimmy's spices - closer to £15-£17 each.
    And I enjoyed jimmy's the one time I've been, however I have an all or nothing approach to most things, food especially, and at buffets I tend to overeat. This is annoying because I've been working hard the last two weeks to fast during the day to lose a bit of weight) I thought I might as well get the photos done then. Rather than waste a possible NSD getting them done.

    As for 3 in a row, so much easier during the week to get than the weekends.
    My boyfriend has my debit cards so I don't spend on them, and I don't carry much cash. And providing I don't go into town (which is only a 3 minute walk from where I work), I can usually go a whole day without being tempted to spend.
    But as you said, there's plenty of time. I'm determined to get to my goals.
    Debts (as of 28/10/15)
    Mum: Start £3426.00 Now £2655.00 22.5% Car (on finance): Start 13823.60 Now £8728.59 36.85%
    Current Debt Free Day: 12/1/2019

    Goals:
    £2000 emergency fund £800/£2000 40%
    £5000 House Deposit £62.09/£5000 1.24%
    Car Finance Settlement Fee As of 28/10/15 £0.00/£7152.18 0%

    I hope you enjoy your meal at jimmy's all the same.
