September - The NSD Challenge

I searched and couldn't see one and Angeldiva hasn't been online for a while now so hope people don't mind me starting a September thread?

And of course the very successful August Challenge by Angeldiva!

    Ok I have read last month's thread and think this a fabulous idea so I am going to aim for 6 in September. This quite a random choice but my thought was this is at least one a week with a couple of extras thrown in for luck.

    Good luck everyone

    Thanks for starting this lilmissmup. I spotted the August challenge too late.

    I'll try for 10 days which will help to my weekly spend challenge and my payment a day challenge. It's great how a lot of the challenges all relate to each other.

    Thanks for starting this thread lilmissmup! And what a great idea to have a poll! In July I achieved 15 NSD's and in August so far I've had 13. In September I'm going to go for 12, which is something like three a week which should be do-able. For the last two months I've found this challenge quite easy once I've got into it - it's helped me to take lunch into work and buying petrol and the weekly food shop in one day. Good luck all! x
