    Hi all:j

    Well fell off the wagon a little bit at the end, but all in all not a bad month thanks to the motivation on here. Big shout out to mothernerd for running the thread, keeping us on the straight & narrow, all the while dealing with her own trials & tribulations, dispensing wisdom as she goes with her quotations. Several things have resonated with me & have stuck, so that has been very helpful.

    February has been a very spendy month for us, lots of things were one-offs though. Mainly I've spent far less in the SM & intend to do that going forward. Also, I'm going to keep dealing with the frogs, get decluttering this massive barn of a place & selling stuff too.

    Will not be buying more items to wear either.

    My NSDs ended up at about 13, reasonable.

    Well done everyone no matter where you ended up! See you all over on the March thread..

    Go Turtles!!!

    Thank you Mothernerd for running the thread and all your inspirational quotes,
    All budgets kept to this month.
    Now 2 months without playing computer games, which were becoming addictive, and now don't miss them.
    Kit kat abuse starting to get under control, aiming for one a week. If I can do without games, I CAN do this.
    Looking forward to March, have visit to Opera, day out at Salford Quays and Mothers day lunch already planned and mostly paid for. Coffee dates with two different friends, U3A quiz afternoon, monthly U3A talk and carers meeting (once a month, includes raffle and lunch £2). Looking like a good month at low cost already.
    See you all in March WINS.
    Hugs, Dottydaisy
    NSD 1/3,
    My mantra is After I ....I will. eg After I make my morning coffee, I will take my medication. Eventually this will become a habit,

    Thank you for the February thread Mothernerd.
    Didn't post as often as I should,but did well on everything else.
    Still have a cupboard of doom but it's getting better.
    Managed 19 NSDs. and then was rather frugal. Not buying things I don't need.

    Good luck all on the March thread.
