    I used to be so good at NSDs...

    I join the challenge and now I can't do it!

    Birthdays, my week to drive in the car share, junk food that I wouldn't have bought pre-challenge.

    Has anyone else found this harder than it should be??

    July NDS 0/min5 (today should be one though)

    I was going to try for a no spend day but I have NO milk, NO bread and NO potatoes. So off to the shop I go, I'm going to walk so a) I save petrol, b) I'm limited in what I can carry and c) the dog stops pestering me to take him out :D .

    Good luck to all on the challenge who are managing a NSD today :beer: .

    KTJazz, I'm finding the same, I based my target on what I normally achieve and since joining the challenge I'm doing rubbish!

    Today was a big spend day, groceries for the next two weeks and petrol for the month.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Yay, managed my 2nd NSD and got £1 back from yesterdays spend as the correct squash balls were cheaper.

    Well done everyone on your NSD's today. Another one for me here.

    I'm finding the challenge difficult becuase I've never aimed for NSDs before, they just happen occassionally (definately not often enough).

    Have done the preparation to 2 NSDs for this week though - have got Tesco delivery coming tonight, went to supermarket near work and bought everything for lunch for next 3 days and am not going to go anywhere so I'm not tempted to spend anything to ruin my chances - wish me luck!
