    Hope it's not too late for me to join in: I'm going for 12 NSD (and have already had one). This will fit brilliantly with my new spending diary!

    Welcome, Elspeth, and well done on already having one NSD! You'll soon find out they're addictive :D Good luck with the spending diary too - it really helps me, when I have the discipline to stick to it, that is.

    Only had my second NSD day yesterday. Thought that would've been my 3rd but then realised that though I didn't spend any cash on the 1st of September, my rent,car insurance and lenses went out on DD. :(

    Lucky I'm only aiming for 6 in total. :)
