BRILLIANT IDEA!Dizzycap said:Well done everyone
I'm on NSD 6 and not likely to be going shopping anytime soon. Plenty in and too ill to go out, even if I wanted to.Bank card frozen in my bank app so no temptation to spend online and I'm loving it!

I am baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
Oh my! Some of you may remember I was having trouble logging into MSE for a long time last year. After a while, I just gave up. But I have missed this thread ♥️.
Anyway, after spending lots of time trying everything I could to get back here yesterday, I emailed the forum team (again), and finally got back into here this afternoon 🎊. It's great to be back!
Cathy- bird I am aiming for 12 NSDs this month please (and would like to build up to 15, maybe February).
So far I have had 6 NSDs this month. Still eating our way through Christmas supplies 🤣. For this challenge, I don't count spending on bread, milk or petrol The only thing I've bought this year is bread and milk.
It's so lovely to be back. Hope I don't get lost again! 🤣SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
