Morning All
Another NSD yesterday so I'm now on 6! Not brilliant but that's mainly because I was on holiday at the start and of course we're on school holidays. Normally this is when I'd start my Christmas shopping but with DH being off work at the moment I can't and he's just been signed off for another 4 weeks!:(
Congratulations on the flat misstara.
Evkizzy - well done for bouncing back so quickly.
Have a good day all

Morning all,
Got my NSD yesterday and I am hoping for one today too. I should be able to power through work without spending but I am very hungry so that may change. Furthermore, I'm not sure what I'm doing tonight but again, I'm hoping it won't cost me.
Saturday will be a spend day as I'm going to my cousins for dinner so I'll need to take a bottle of wine.
Sunday I should manage a NSD. We'll see.
Have a good Friday everyone!0 -
Lost track of NSDs but budgets are ok, so I'm not really bothered
Today definitely not an NSD - bought school shoes and trainers for the smallest 2. Got a bargain for smallest's trainers, though - reduced to £15 @ ClarksStill need to go shopping with DS1 for his new uniform and shoes though

Sorry not been on since Sat - been trying to keep busy after work doing odd jobs.
Sunday was a spend day, Mon was a NSD, Tues was a spend day but I can't remember what on, Weds was a spend day as brought a bottle of drink for the bus journey home (had not drunk enough art work due to home visits and I always get dehydration headaches so brought extra drink).
Thurs and today have both been NSD's - I am up to 10 now.
Not sure if I can make the target of 15 as off work next week and it could be expensive - days out planned and back to school shopping to do.0 -
NSD day for me. Just checked and today is actually my 4th not 5th NSD, so doing a bit worse than I thought. If I can to 13 then that beats last months total which I will be pleased with.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

Ugh! Life is throwing everything it’s got at me at the moment. :wall:
My poor baby (cat) Minky got hit by a car today.He has deep cuts and bruises all over his face, a bloodshot eye, smashed teeth and splintered claws and bloody paws.
So aside from huge emotional distress, mainly on my part, and severe physical pain, on his, I was almost crippled by a vet bill of £70!!! :eek: _pale_
Either Karma has got in for me or..... well, I have no reason why all this bad stuff is happening all at once.
My mental health along with my healthy eating has gone out the window this past week... think I need to surround myself with IRL lovely people for hugs. Gosh, I could use them right now. think I’ll try and take the rest of the month off and start again fresh in September.
Keep up the good work NSTs!Ev Kizzy total S&S ISA: ~£12,225. savings £200
