NSD 16 today! Get me, over here on the naughty step . To be fair I don't want to spend until payday. So I am not going into shops. I don't know if my charity dd's will go out as the 1st is over the weekend, and that can mean either the money goes in/out on Friday, Saturday, or Monday.  There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. So I am keeping my head down until Sunday and being very very good.

That is absolutely marvellous news, mothernerd! Well done for going through all their hoops and doing what they asked/demanded. Please do buy the things you know you need - clothes that you feel good in should be top of the list, please. F0xh0les is to quit the naughty chaise longue for a bit so that you can use it to rest and enjoy having the money (well, as much as they have deigned to return to you...) back in your own hands. Am doing a happy dance for you!

Wednesday- NSD 13/15, doing better than I expected. 
Managed to get out on the horse again today which was good. Another couple of boxes sorted out so a good day all round.

Very happy for you mothernerd  Please do treat yourself to some comfy clothes.
Yesterday was spendy as still on our mini break. A bit more Christmas shopping to do today and then home later to begin to be frugal.

Great news @mothernerd! Personally,  I'd get something in writing from them before you spend any of it though 😉

mothernerd - that's great news !
NSD 6/15 achieved yesterday.  Went for a walk at lunchtime so as to get out in daylight.  Did exercise class in the eve, difficult especially as arm still a little achy from flu jab .  Read in bed as need to finish book by Friday for z00m literature group!  Fell asleep watching newsnight zzzz

Mothernerd keep moving away from that cliff and get some clothes. I would hold off spending as well if nothing confirmed in writing yet.

I think us turtles are too hard on ourselves sometimes, clear the naughty step and live a bit this month- only 2 days left so can't go mad.

I will be on 14 NSD today, not going out at lunchtime in this weather.

Productive afternoon off yesterday

Garden furniture unassembled and put into garage

Leaves cleared up but more there today

Deep cleaned rest bedrooms and bathroom

Walked along the promenade

Well, we've avoided the really naughty step Covid wise for the moment but I suspect not for very long. On the plus side I think it means that restaurants can open for lunch without alcohol (not a problem) so I might be able to meet the lovely cousin. Previously it was only cafes of which there are none. Downside, I think we are definitely going to have to cancel the annual holiday in the Lake District but in a way it will be a relief to know what we are doing. Maybe, cancel is the wrong word. Let's be positive and look on it as postpone instead. I'll have a word with the friends at the weekend but I think the sensible one will agree.

So, moving on. I can start to make some plans. More of that kind of shopping done today. Now I know where I am will go the the butcher and buy some items to keep us going for a bit. Won't be able to go after Monday as it's outside our local authority area even if it is only a ten minute walk. At least I can still get my hair done on Tuesday. Actually, in the scheme of things that's not really important but it is the little things that keep you going.

So pizza for tea and then another early night. Rock and roll lifestyle up this way!!!!

NSD 17 today!  Just over £4 left in the budget and only 2 days left.  I think I have everything in the house that I need. 

Now to get on with finishing silly little jobs this weekend so they do not appear on my November list.  How's that for motivation? I love a deadline.
