  • This isn't working for me. OH has been really ill (been in hospital and needs to have an operation), so I have been buying everything, he said he will pay me back, but it means that it's really difficult to have any nsds. If I am spending money on the things that he usually pays for- petrol,newspapers etc. and he will reimburse me, does this count as an nsd?. It is difficult doing this challenge.

    Sorry your OH has been is hosp.
    Dont worry about it~sometimes life gets in the way.
    IF your OH does give you the money back I would think you have had a NSD.

    Hi :hello:

    Can I join in please? I've been keepin a spending diary online for the past week and it's quite scary the amount of rubbish I buy.

    I have to pay 70p a day monday - friday for my bus fare so if I don't spend anything else at all, does this still count as a NSD?

    Archers addict I would count your spends, rather than the things that OH would normally buy, as he is giving you the money back.

    Hope OH is feeling better soon, try not to stress too much, you have enough on your plate!

    No unfortunately, they don't do passes for concessions plus I only have to pay going to work because it's before 9.30 so it's not so bad. I keep saying if the weather gets nicer I'll walk (take me about half an hour I think) but thanks to the lovely british weather I haven't walked yet! (only been there a week mind!)

    Personally I think we'd forgive you for this, since it's absolutely necessary :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.

    I did it, I did it :j had my 5th NSD in july!!! I even went to town! DS wanted a game, so he got some money out of his account and I got my mum a pressie in Boots using points. In fact, I was £5.71 up on the deal, as I forgot DS owed me for his last game a few months ago :D

    Very happy! Will carry on with the NSD and see how many I can manage by 31st :)
