    Please can I join in? Angeldiva, can I be added to the list? My aim is going to be 7 NSD's this month. So far I've had two days of spending so I'm hoping this challenge will help keep me on track. Good luck everyone! :T

    Hi,

    go to the user cp at the top of the page & then edit signature on the left hand side. You can hours of fun with this using all the pretty colours etc & it costs nothing :D

    I'll look forward to seeing it

    Hi all

    I'd like to join this challenge, too, please. I'll start with 5 NSDs and I had one of them today(!:j) but I am usually quite bad, so I think 5 will be good for a first month!! :D

    Am off to amend my signature now... :p

    Good morning fellow NSD challengers!

    I successfully survived yesterday without spending anything - so was very happy to put my first NSD in my sig :j

    Today is not going to be the same - had to buy a weekly bus ticket (can't be avoided, and is much cheaper than taking the car) which was £10.40 and we have bare cupboards (the kids were fighting over the last slices of bread for packed lunches......DS lost, so had leftover pasta from last night instead :o ) and we are sharing one last loo roll between 4.....:eek: so a "decent" shop at Tescos (got a voucher for £5 off, plus spend over £50 and get 5p a litre of petrol off) is required today.......

    .......but if I have planned everything properly, that means that tomorrow should be another NSD too.....

    Have a good one everyone x

    Me too - one NSD.

    Not today though as DS has prom night and I'm sure I'll need to give money for photos or something (having already paid for ticket, limo, shirt and tie - but cheaper than DD1 when she went a few years ago).

    I could do with bread still too - I made some yesterday but it's just about all gone. And someone at works keeps free range chickens and sells eggs for 90p half dozen which are big and lovely, so I'll stock up if there are any left.

    So NSD2 will be tomorrow if I plan it right and top up a bit today.

    Good luck everyone else.

    Sadly today wont be a NSD for me today. I agreed (about a month ago) to have lunch with a colleague and its raining so I couldn’t even bring my own sandwiches however luckily our local does two courses for £5 so I wont be spending that much! tomorrow….yes…tomorrow I have nothing planned and bringing in my own lunch to work.
    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
