    Should hit number 7 today - managed to stay busy at work so I didn't go out at lunchtime and avoided the shops on the way home! My OH is having late pregnancy cravings for ice lollies, so we'll probably have to get in a new supply tomorrow, but I've just checked the freezer and 8 should last us for tonight :cool:

    NSD 11 today :cool: I'd be really chuffed to match July's total of 15 NSD's by getting another 4 in the 5 days we have left of the challenge!
  • Managed NSD no 12 today only one more to go, it hasn't been too bad, this has been my first challange and I have to say I enjoyed it. I planned my spending properly buying food & petrol on the same day etc and it's stopped me spending unnecessarily on the days when I knew I didn't need food/petrol. Might aim for 15 next month, seems like a lot but means I can spend every other day if I need too. Thanks to the OP, look forward to meeting my target, prob won't be tomorrow as it's Bootsale day but maybe Thursday and Friday. Good luck everyone else

    Hhmmm, no more since I posted in the thread last 5 days to get at least 2 more NSD's in.

    Have joined pap/moozies weekly challenge to try and keep my spends low on the days I do spend so hopefully three challenges combined will boost my debt ridding! (Is that even a word?! :rotfl: )

    Managed another NSD, doing this has made me take my dinner to work everyday which I think this month so far as saved me £80! :eek: There's a delcious sandwich/lunch shop right next to where I work but it's £4/£5 a day. I can't belive how much money i used to spend there. :o
