    Evening all!
    Whoopeee....a NSD day for me today; bringing a total of 4/12.
    But I know for a fact tomorrow and possibly Friday won't be.

    Beanielou and optimistic saver, you're both doing amazing:).
    Optimistic saver, thank you for the tip about Hermes, good to know, especially about cutting down on queuing ( my local PO always has long queues, even worse at this time of year!).


    Well done Vanlady :) :T:T

    There's not a LOT in it, cathybird. But for a Royal Mail sized small parcel under 1kg in the UK, the cost is £3. With Hermes for the same weight (under 1kg) and allowing for a slightly bigger package size, the price is £2.85. Plus you get up to £20 value insurance thrown in for free. I get a 20% student discount with Hermes that makes it worth doing. :j

    I had 4 parcels to post so saved £2.88 this time. And easy for me to drop them off at Johnson's dry cleaners on my way into work tomorrow, without the long queue at the post office.... ;)


    Thanks Optimistic Saver, I will definitely try to find out whether Hermes is cheaper for me too, and I couldn't agree more on post office queues!

    No spends yesterday takes me to 3 NSD's.

    No spends planned today, either.

    Tomorrow could be different. I've got a free ticket to a friends boxing show, but the drinks/travel isn't free. It's an expense I could do without really given it's such a busy month so I might have to politely decline. Or just take the car. We'll see.

    Well done Speky :) :T:T

    No spends planned for me today so 7/15. :) Tomorrow is the work Christmas do so it will be a spendy day and then I've got another Christmas lunch coming up on the weekend.
  • Managed another NSD yesterday so am on 6 now. Today should be one too and maybe even Friday. Good to feel a bit more in control of things :money:

    Well done IvysMom :) :T:T and thanks for your kind words too, car will be okay I'm sure, it will have to get its MOT done somehow! I'll worry about that on Monday, which is when the car place can do it :)
