  • Planning didn't quite pay off - forgot to get pasta for our meal planned dinner tonight - and a pasta bake just isn't the same without pasta! So didn't have to spend much, but still a spend day, won't be another one until next week, so will have to do some careful planning to make sure it happens.

    Well done to everyone else, I'm just a little slow off the mark!

    Man, I hate the way that necessities get in the way of my No Spend Days!
    Yesterday it was deposit (rental) for a new flat. Today it's renewing my National Rail Railcard. It's just never-ending! :D

    Good luck for everyone going for an NSD today. I think an NSD on a friday sure would be a 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.

    Still stuck on 2.....aiming for that elusive third, but it won't be until next week now because I need to put petrol in the car in order to get to some mystery shops that I have to do!
