    and it would be lovely to see you! I've found it v encouraging & being honest have struggled on here recently as so many desperate cries for help...its not that I'm not sympathetic cos I am but it was really getting me down thinking of so many people in dire straits...
    I dont think I have EVER managed not to spend (appart from petrol & stamps) for 4 days...ever and it feels great! Can understand being fed up of surveys as they are a drag & I havent one any for a couple of weeks...must get back into them as I have a long way to go! You are SO close though- just think of it as a sprint to the finish & what a joyful day that will be!

    That's brilliant, it is a good feeling having one NSD so you must be really chuffed with 4! :D Right, I'm in next week, give me a nudge if you don't see me over on that thread ;) You've inspired me to go back to O/S, hadn't read it for a while... and I made pizza from scratch tonight resisting the temptation of so-called 'special offers' in supermarket... kitchen is covered in flour but hey.... :rotfl:

    Thanks pepys! its made me realise how I need to be more organised & also not shop/eat on how I feel but whats in! I'm actually really enjoying in in a maschchistic (?sp!) kind of way!! I dont think I've ever had 4 nsd in my life to be honest so it feels like a real achievement! Just being innovative with how i get treats - ie could have killed for an alch free beer but that would have meant I broke the no shopping so managed to convince myself that HM pizza would be just as nice!! Its in the BM as I type! Will be eating late but never mind! Feels good to be motivated again plus having great fun finding recipes!! Do pop over squirrel! People do fall but we're all supporting eachother, just like on here really but new people too!

    Just popping in....managed to only spend 2.33 last week (not incl petrol & stamps for cj - did you get it sea?) which is a miracle and it would have been nothing if it hadnt been for the migraine and the need for coke!
    Am trying for 25 ths week as need to get cat food & some bits that I'm out of! Heinz tomatoe K for one! Must also investigate vtamins online as boots cost a bomb last month & I'm getting to the end!
    Other than that not much news...work busy, allotment growing lots of weeds although did get 4 indestructble strawberries in yesterday! Just watching the news about the cuy who chopped his car in two! Mad!!
    Hope youre all ok?

    Well done on the low spend week ISOM!! I could do with a couple of those I think :rotfl:, not looking forward to paying my CC this month - because they changed my card I had no idea how much I had paid and it wasn't enough :mad:

    Evening dragon & those who may be lurking! Had to shop today bt didnt HAVE to get the veggie recipe book that landed in my bag! Trying to cut down on meat & wanted some veggie recipes though so felt it was justifable! (just!) plus not smoked so loads saved there - although am O/d! Going to have an easy CC month this month & get back to even money and not go mad on paying them just for a month! Any extra I'll whac in but I hate being o/d even thoug I dont pay interest! Have also had to buy clothes(n summer ones that fitted) so spent some too...doing ok though! Hope youre all ok. Off to do litter trays & finish supper! Hugs all! How is everyne - bit quiet here!

    I've collected it now thanks ISOM :D

    Have to print out some photos now - know exactly what I'm going to use, and have made some little embellishments especially for it!! :)

    I can not believe just how much my scrapping has evolved in the last 5 months!! I'm currently designing another CJ for another website I visit, and the difference is amazing :) Will be fascinating to get my original one back to see it all though - am really looking forward to it!! So thank you hon!

    Hi all,
    Just a quickie as need to get to bed! Great that you got the CJ sea! Am thinking about my next entry! All ok here and decided to have a no spend week next week again. Quite satisfying although does take some organisation! Have been o/d & need to atch up on myself cos its stressing me out plus the alarm needs looking at as it keeps going off & my water isnt hotting up unless the heatings on which was ok in winter but not good in summer! Hpe youre all ok! Been working late so not on as much & been a heavy week so pooped! Wonder how taxi is doing in cuba!

    Hi Wendy! Awful day yesterday and feeling quite shattered/battered plus spent 100 on cc & am 100 o/d so going to have a no spend week next week and catch up with a minimum payments on cc month. Have been overdoing overpayments & its a viscious circle me thinks...Think I'm just tired as woken up at 4am two days in a row which isnt good! Hope youre ok...am working through diaries but got distratcted by hypnos...
