    this is a whole new way of thinking

    so that's going to be 6 NSDs here

    Nice work borollan!! Enjoy your slow-cooked din-dins :T:A

    £8+ on Hermes postage on Thursday and £26 yesterday (on a Greggs Gift Voucher for my elderly next door neighbour who looks after our cat - she loves Greggs :rotfl: and a few bits of overseas posting).

    So no more NSDs in the bag for me, just yet. But on the plus side, all my Christmas shopping and posting is done. And today, tomorrow and Monday look set to be big fat, enjoyable No Spend Days. Including a FREE meal out with my partner thanks to a handy mystery shopping assignment in a local restaurant.

    Enjoy the weekend everyone, whether you are spending it away from the shops. Or in them. :)

    Wow that's a really kind thing to do for your neighbour, Optimistic Saver! Even if she does look after your cat. Sounds very organized on the Christmas shopping too. I think mine is pretty much done? It's a good feeling to get it out of the way. Hope the free meal is a good one :)

    Hi everyone.
    Thursday and Friday were spendy days for me, but whoop whoop today and tomorrow will defiantly be NSDs for me.
    Yesterday whilst shopping; I made sure we had enough so that we can avoid going shopping for as long as possible.
    So that brings me to 5/12 today......can't wait to see my new emoji cathybird:D.
