Not a NSD as needed bread and milk. I totted up my NSDs in 2016 and I achieved 71, so obviously a 2017 goal is to achieve double that this year. Equals 11/12 a month which is easily doable if you remain on track.
Today I am grateful for
free fun-my OH's sister was looking after her Godson so she, godson, OH and I all went to the park to play football.
My two separate gifts of candles this Christmas which are both lit and are giving my living room that cosy feeling.
My online food deliveries arriving later, I always feel happiest when the cupboards are groaning as it makes me feel safe. Blame it on some childhood trauma or something but where some people see full cupboards, I see them as being nearly empty.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

F0xh0les - you don't lose an NSD for dds, as the date they leave your account can be variable, as you have mentioned. Claim the NSD!
Today I am grateful for getting out for a walk in the sunshine with dd, for bumping into a neighbour, for peaceful and quiet times.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0 -

Another Duvet day here at Massa Towers.
NSD 2/15 caught and bagged for the yearly grand total. Pesky Little things that they are.
Today I am grateful for,
1) Healthy food in the fridge
2) A nice long lay in this morning thanks to OH Taking care of the Monster
3) The chance to spend another day with the monster before having to return to work.:pDesperately Determined to Destroy the Debts one at a time.. and Seriously Save for the Spectacular future.:p0 -
NSD today. Took DD back to uni after a full brunch
Went through freezer and filled a whole cool box with things for her and made her a loaf and gave her a full tub of Anch0r and some fresh carrots:). Also filled 2 cardboard boxes with tins, bottles, treats, packets etc so she shouldn't need to go shopping for food for a few days at least (she doesn't have milk with anything)
Had yummy lo NYE Chinese takeaway for dinner tonight - nice and very easy and cleared space in my fridgeTopped it up with some YS chicken spring rolls I found in the freezer when going through it for things for DD
Will attempt to finish inventory of freezer tomorrow now that there is less in it
No need to inventory cupboards - all items are on an open shelf unit so I can see what I have/ haven't got (although they need re-sorting after giving things to DD)
Things I am grateful for:
*stocked up food cupboards/ freezer/ fridge and the ability to send DD off with lots of things
* yummy leftovers
* DS1 'babysitting' DS2 and DS3 for the 3 hours it took to take DD back

Hi everyone.
I confess to not leaving the house today so I've bagged another nsd :j
I've had a productive day though, finally getting rid of all the leftovers and using up the past-its-best veg in the fridge so I did a couple of hours in the kitchen. Also made myself do some exercise in the house for the first time in ages.
Back to work tomorrow, but I have things to be grateful for today.
1. Having enough frozen 'meals' available for me to do lunches for 14 days
2. Getting some quality time alone to catch up on missed NY tv
3. A pyjama day!Not giving up
Working hard to pay off my debt
Time to take back control

So much for feeling grateful for them, I really burnt my finger on the lantern for one of them when I went to blow it out! :rotfl: Was a silly mistake of mine to make thoughDebt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

Back to work for me tomorrow after 11 days off
DS had a bad earache last night so we didn't go for our planned walk in the lakes today but used our NT membership to visit a place we haven't been to for a couple of years and had a long walk and DS played on the 3 different outdoor play areas. We took our own lunch and flask and had our first free day out of the year.
I haven't been able to claim a NSD yet as we ordered some new rollers for our shower cubicle yesterday (we cant use it until its fixed) and DH repaid DFIL for some pen refills he had asked him to get.
Our new eating plan starts tomorrow and I have prepped enough meals for DH and I to last until Thursday. PT session for us tomorrow and will have a swim when I get to my hotel on Wednesday night (away with work).
Today I am grateful for:
1) How hot my thermos keeps the tea
2) DS wanting an extra cuddle at bedtime
3) Spending time outdoors with my family
4) The en-suite shower room!Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%

Evening...
Just a quick check in... Thank you for the well wishes about the gym. I smirked at your comment Calling... I had a vision of something out a Mills & Boon novel... (not that I've ever read one) 'their eyes met over the water cooler... She smiled and noticed they had the same brand of shaker'... Haha! Tragedy they got rid of it.
So today = NSD number 2
Also bagged session 2/3 at the gym, and off to do my meditation in a mo...
Work starts tomorrow - that will be when I have to find a way to fit stuff in... I did a cupboard/freezer inventory as promised and seem to have a vast amount of herbal tea... I've been meaning to cut down my caffeine intake so perfect time! Also - a variety of tinned beans. Will have to come up with a recipe for them...
Night for now⭐ DEBT FREE : 18/02/2025 ⭐
Follow your heart & be true to yourself always
My life is full of abundance and prosperity
