    So I am planning to be hardcore and signing up for 20 nsds, No barbeques or parties for this skint girl. I am only allowed to spend money on Monday or Wednesdays. Money is pretty tight and I have had to cut back on pretty much everything. I am also aiming for 4 nsds in a row.

    Today is my first no spend day of the month and I am aiming for the entire weekend. My budget is a paltry £20 a week for food and I need to plan to use it properly.
    No Spend November 2/15 and SPC 134

    Nargleblast - your post really made me smile!! :T

    I think I'm going to try for 15 NSDs in June - though as I'm a beginner I'm going to exclude medical expenses (as these are my biggest expense) and then as I become more advanced I'll try to include those too! :dance:

    Feeling positive!

    You can exclude whatever you want!Good luck. :)

    Morning, can I sign up for 10 NSD's this month please. We've just got back off holiday so need to tighten the strings up again. I won't be including direct debits/bills that leave my account. My NSD will be whereby I don't spend anything extra on my card, or in cash. I/e shopping, food etc. Lets do this :D

    Good luck everyone xx

    Welcome and good luck! :)

    I hope that I haven't missed anyone out.

    Please remember to write your nsd total in bright and big numbers so that I can see them easily.

    BTW breakfast is provided daily from 7 o'clock.There is a choice of porridge or, well, that's all there is.Coffee is served only when Mrs Doyle's on her day off as she doesn't believe in coffee.Please avoid saying the word in her presence.....Tea however is fine.

    Please disregard any rumours you have heard about Cheffie's truss floating in the porridge pan.It only happened once, but no one will let him forget it.

    Above all, don't beat yourself up if you find getting nsds difficult.It can take time to get into the swing of it.You can at any time change your rules and your target total.

    ANy questions? Ask away. :-)
