  • Hello everyone, sorry I’ve been missing on this thread, I think I was being a bit too optimistic with my NSD count. Just back from holiday in Spain, and I’ve done NO food shopping or Christmas prep........going to skip the rest of the month and start again in January.

    Hope everyone is doing ok xx

    Morning all, well I realised late yesterday that I have totally forgotten to buy one of the main ingredients for the Christmas lunch, so that was clever. It means either today or tomorrow can't be an NSD. As it happens though I've got a bill to pay anyway so at least my potential NSD hasn't been completely derailed by my brain lapse :rotfl:There are nine days left in December including today and I've got to do five NSDs if I want to beat my target so it's doable. :)

    Well done SSDD23 :) :j:j and beanielou :) :j:j
  • Can't believe how well everyone is doing :T I, on the other hand, seem to have lost the plot! Did grocery shop on Saturday (that was fun ... :eek:) but am pretty much done now except for a couple of little bits which I'll pick up tonight. Have totally lost track to be honest of what I spent, as well as where and when! The good news it it was saved for but I still seem to be doing a lot of spending. I'm not going to count any NSD's but will be back on it after work tomorrow :D
