I am declaring myself successful in my quest for 8 NSDs in August :j
Last month I managed a lowly 6 in the whole month - and this month I have done 8 out of 12 days!!!
Obviously I will be continuing to see how many I can get for the rest of the month!
Thanks guys for the inspiration - knowing that I have the chance to cheer for a no spender on here keeps me away from the chocolate!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Almost had a NSD today but I have suffered a back strain and in desperation to ease it off I had to buy some heat rub for £1.24.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no. 1021 - Proud to be dealing with my debts.0

I think that if something is truly for medicinal purposes then it should be allowed.
You can't risk being in pain for the sake of a NSD.
So, if I were you, I would ignore that £1.24.

I didn't spend anything Friday, Sunday or Monday! am well pleased. I normally ruin NSD with the internet shopping.

I'm still stuck on 3 so far - would've been no.4 today but I managed to fall off the pavementand skinned my knee, ripping my trousers in the process :rolleyes:. Decided it was worth buying a large plaster on the way into work - so by hypno's rule I would've been fine - but spoilt it by buying a can of coke to cheer myself up. Hoping to hit no.4 tomorrow instead...
