    Good luck Aussie, but youve got the right idea. Planning ahead, now all you need to do is avoid the temptation.
  • Have already told OH that he can take Thursday off work (he works Saturday so has one weekday off) as long as he doesn't spend any money that goes on the joint budget! If I know I have to report back I have to really think before spending any money - got lunch ready for tomorrow, just have to remember to take it to work!

  • Only had one NSD so far but today was technically a NSD as although I bought a top for £12 (in the sale) I put £28 (from my coppers jar) into the bank this morning. A also bought a few other things but paid for them all in with the glorious thing that is Boots advantage card points!

    At last! I did it! my first NSD in July was yesterday...

    I can't do it today because I have bills to pay but tomorrow should be another one and maybe Friday too (but I doubt it)

    I technically made £20 yesterday too so am feeling much better about my NSD challenge and my make £5 a day in july challenge. I can do this. lets face it, I have no choice, I HAVE to do it!

    Hi,
    I'm new to this website, I read this thread a couple of days ago & thought it must be easy to have a NSD-I take it all back. I never realised how you buy things without even thinking about it-Lesson No. 1 learnt!-now I'm going to try and do 10 days over the rest of July.
    Thank you for inspiring me!

    Great to hear all the stories for yesterday... i've done two NSDs in a row and I'm aiming for three in a row, because I know that thursday friday saturday and sunday will all be spend days!

    damn weekends - i've come to resent them now just because of this challenge!
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
