There's five days left of August yet?
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.
My month runs 29th to 28th each month as thats when I'm paid:D

Yay, managed NSD no. 8 today! Really had to push myself to avoid going to the shops today - I got as far as leaving the office, but made myself turn right instead of left towards the shops, and went for a walk instead!
