    An NSD again today :D So I've actually completed my challenge of 7 NSD's - yay! Luckily, bought everything I needed yesterday from Tesco so no need to pop to the shops to get anything, plus I made lunch from home and have half a tank of petrol. Going to keep going to see how many I can manage... x

    Well done rb6ac! Next month you must go for 14!
    Today I got my 5th day, yay. :D
    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.
  • hello, well I've had 3 nsds in a row.I think I may have had more as I included bill paying and I don't think I'm supposed to? Anyway, 4 up to now and half a month left.

    Another NSD for me today:j

    No NSD tomorrow as I am taking a mate out for lunch (I know that it will cost me £12 as we will both have the special which is £6 for two courses including a drink):j Also have a meeting in town - may take two buses rather than the train - train will cost me nearly £5 return (as I am going before 9am) and its only £3 for a day saver on the bus:D Don't call me tight, I am just...careful.

    I failed yesterday - had to buy milk and also spent £1.10 on stuff I didn't need at lunchtime (OK, it was chocolate, so there is an argument that it was a necessary purchase......but not for the purposes of this challenge!).

    So......today is another day, and another attempt - we are half way through July and I have still only managed 2 NSDs.....this really is highlighting one of my problems with budgeting!!

    Fingers crossed for today, though - hopefully I can amend my signature this evening!

    This is an interesting one actually, my O2 bill comes out by direct debit and I don't even know when or what day. So actually if I spent no money on whatever day that is I would count that as an NSD.

    But if I actually handed over cash or posted a cheque to pay a bill then I would not count that as an NSD. But I think really it's up to you!

    Good luck everyone for today

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good Morning everyone!!

    Hope you all had a great weekend.

    Well I'm on 2 out of five so I think I can do it. :D
    Well done rb6ac you have done it!! :T Amazing, next month you can aim for more!

    Has anyone else finished their challenge? I might update the list and put COMPLETED, next to all the sucessful ones. Does anyone else need adding to the list? Pm me.
    In Jan 2007 I had a debt of £27,896.00 :eek:
    In October 2011 I paid it off and owned £0.00 - Kinda proud of this!:T

    Grrr. I gave my bf money for the food shopping yesterday, then went and bought some eggs off the market (they're cheaper than the supermarket). Then he came back and said he didn't see anything at morrisons so we've got to go to asda tonight. Not sure if today counts as an nsd since I gave him the money yesterday? I'm really annoyed because I wouldn't have spent yesterday if I'd known.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
