    Not an NSD for me today. ordered some clothes for my new job - that's nearly the first weeks wages gone but unfortunately I've lost so much weight since being made redundant I have no choice 
    Congratulations on losing weight though bloomfelt :)

    Always nice to loose weight bloom felt. 
    Hope that the new job goes well:) 
    Thanks - I have an interview coming up for one that's more hours and better money but will make the most of this one while I have it. :)

    Beanie, I haven't yet marked today as an NSD for you because you seemed unsure, but just let me know obviously :)

    cathybird  you  are  doing  a  tremendous  job  keeping  up with  us  all ,  we really do appreciate  it and  like  so  many , finding  MSE   has  been  a   financial  turn  around .   NSD   4/20  today.  have  a  great  weekend x 

    Thanks jammy dodger :) I love MSE and this thread. :)
    Re my own tally, I feel a bit guilty that I haven't had that many NSDs but I have been doing a lot of catching up with family and friends and in fact have bought some pasta to eat at my Airbnb so I'm not eating out when I don't have to, so that's probably saved me some money. :)

    Ended up doing our shopping yesterday and not Friday, today is also a no spend day (well my husband may pop out and buy some new cycling gloves but he sold some bits and has the cash set aside so that won't be counted - this thread has really helped him too!)

    Delta, just wanted to say sorry, I just went over the list and for some reason hadn't marked your 2 days so far, I could have sworn I did so not sure what happened there, maybe jet lag? :(:( Apologies! Hope you are doing okay? ...
    No worries! You'll need to update it again now as I'm on 4/15!

    I'm doing okay thanks, feeling a bit better about things and been resisting the urge to spend (I'm an emotional spender!).
    And it's my birthday next week so hoping to rack up a few NSD's and save myself more dough :lol:
    Hope you're having a nice trip away!
