The photo booth by us is £7 per person now (I couldn't believe it when I did some for me!) - but these were from [EMAIL="Sn@ppySn@ps"]Sn@ppySn@ps[/EMAIL] - I find it easier to use them for small people as they guarantee to give you a passport-office accepted photo (started to use them when we needed passport photos for a 2week old lol) I use photo booths for myself and OH - and DD, who is sensible enough to do it properly

Yes I think I used SS when DS got his first passport. Reminds me I need to do it for DD as we are hoping to have a break in August. But only if saved for and just look at my holiday fund:eek:

A spendy day for me, popped to the shop to get some more fruit and milk and ended up getting some good YS bargains - gf crumpets X 4, gf sandwich thins X 2, gf bread, normal bread (for OH), pork chops and sausages. Had to then rearrange the freezer to get it all to fit in.

Made myself a fruit salad for breakfast and then had stirfry for tea so plenty of fruit and veg. Also went to the gym and did a 20 min run, was planning to run outside but weather was awful. I was also planning to go to a doctors nearby and register but didn't get round to it so must do that before work tomorrow.

Had a wee pamper evening and used up a facemask that I got for christmas, did my eyebrows and painted my nails. No random acts of kindness to report though.

Helloo, it's 133am and I'm just home from work, as it's the school holidays and DH is working a late tomorrow I'm sat up with a glass of wine just catching up on here.
Today makes my 5th NSD, I'm counting this and yesterday because I had the spends for the children's activities already allocated and did not spend any additional money, in fact I saved money because I over budgeted so I feel really proud of myself.
Had one of those eye opening days, an interesting and thought provoking conversation with a lady at the kids craft morning and I also did some additional training at work so I can pick up extra shifts, feel like today was definitely worth getting out of bed for.
Did my 10k steps today, not the usual for a Wednesday but it's school hols so next week will be higher and I'll be smashing 10k before midday

Morning, yesterday was a busy happy day with piles of work and a good social with a friend and daughters. We wanted to come up with something which didn't involve screens or cash and some months ago started "puzzle club"... As a bit of a joke, doing awful jigsaws with shocking pix on them of westies in baskets etc. We have a get together every month to six weeks. And it has so taken off and our teen girls who were groaning like mad about how lame it is are so into it. Last night we built a small car out of board, a 3d puzzle. Well, I say we, I have the spatial awareness of Mr Bean so did nothing but encourage. Then balloon animals modelling! Friend had a kit, and I made a sausage dog that did look more like intestines but it was great!

Not an NSD as a driving lesson to pay for and a quick veg shop at the market. Two punnets of strawberries for £1.50 thank you. Spanish, so not like our wonderful English berries which will be here before too long perhaps, but it was a taste of summer. One week til payday. Skint as, still got a few quid to eke out til next week.

Kindness? Helped a colleague with a private matter she was struggling with. Think that will make it easier for her. Pleased to do it.

Exercise. Not enough.

Yesterday I managed a NSD, quite a few steps and ate well.

Today I have an unexpected day working from home as my car is to be repaired this afternoon. Aiming for another NSD and 1 tomorrow too which will put me on a measly 4 Planning my spending this weekend so that I only spend on Saturday as I need shoes repairing, to post a letter to the mortgage broker and some fresh fruit, milk, bread and lunch stuff for DH.

I have to visit the solicitor today too to drop off some proofs and am hoping to get a parking space out front or it will be a NSD lost for 30p!

Depending on what time the man gets here to fix my car I will aim for a 30 minute run this afternoon/evening and 10k steps as we need to tidy up and hoover which adds to my steps total.

Good morning all,

Another NSD yesterday for me! Loving the effect this challenge is having on me. Went to the gym yesterday after visiting my gran in hospital. Used my time there to speak to the other elderly patient next to my gran. I don’t know if their family usually visit but they weren’t there when I was in and I felt so sorry for her and she seemed to enjoy the company.

Today however, after having a dream about cakes, I’ll need to buy something substantial for lunch today instead of my usual Herbalife milkshakes!

Looking forward to tomorrow for the new set of challenges.

Keep going team!

Hello everyone well what was I saying about reporting in everyday to be accountable......epic fail :rotfl:

Well 3 NSD so far this month and YNAB all upto date and looking good. Pretty happy with that but do need to stock up on milk and fruit today. Walked into town and am doing the same today. Need to get moving more but back to uni next wk so have been enjoying the much needed rest.

Been decluttering away - CDs were collected just waiting to see if they are actually worth anything, just happy to have them gone really. Put the dvd/cd cabinet on freecycle and that was collected yesterday.

Phoned up to sort the marriage tax allowance thing yesterday :T

Have been pampering my trotters with peppermint cream everynight

Good morning!

Loads of NSDs being collected, kindness being spread and exercising being done. Go Turtles :T

Hopefully, I will get out for a run before the rain starts at lunchtime. Healthy food in again. Have to confess instead of abstaining from smoking I caved in to have one rollie last night out of habit, better than more. So none today.

Have 30 pounds left till CB comes in on the 18th. So did a freezer audit yesterday and a precisely planned shopping list. Might go tomorrow morning at coffee break rather than after work with the whole team.

See you later

Yesterday was nsd5 for me. Today is a spend day tho. I'm proud of getting 5 nsd's in the holidays. I would like to go for a run today but weather may make that difficult.
