August -The NSD Challenge

strumpet

Does anybody find that they manipulate their spending patterns to create NSDs?
I do - I'm terrible for it. I know I'm going to run out of milk on Wednesday but will have to buy diesel today. Today's obviously ruined so I'll buy the milk today too, then Wednesday is clear to be an NSD.

Crafty or what!!!

Staying at 7 for me today, had a carp day yesterday and I'm back to the second job today after summer holidays so bought some juice in the shop when I was posting business orders.

Spent £2.36. To help me stop buying that I think I'll pop into Mr T's on the way back from work tonight and get myself some multi-packs, means it'll work out cheaper and I won't be tempted to buy the odd bottle of lucozade/carton of ribena as I'll already have some in. . . . . I hope!

CONGRATULATIONS on achieving your target! :dance:I'm still stuck on 4 unfortunately, but I knew this was going to be a hard month. Been on a weekend away but will definitely try for some NSD's this week.

Well done. I think I am only on 3 out of 8 NSDs. Can't count today. Like strumpet I'm thinking, need petrol this week, treats for a girls night in Wed and milk so plan to get it tonight in the hope that I can have some more NSDs later in the week.

It is helping with my shopaholic addiction though as I used to go to the shop everyday. Now I'm going much less but still counting spends on vending machines etc it is still hard to have a complete NSD.

Congratulations SurfBabe :beer:

I thought I was going to break my NSD9 today as I had to take a snack round to my friends house that the kiddies could eat, otherwise they eat her out of house & home.

I thought at first that I would have to stop off at the Co-Op and buy some sweets, but then I thought NO, I don't want to wreck my NSD 9, so I quickly made some Fork biscuits and took them with me.

I was worried the other mums & the kids would turn their noses up at them, but they snaffled them all and two friends have even asked me to email the receipe to them.

what a successful day. The old me would have spent £5 on rubbish from the shop. :T
