    Good luck to all other challengers! xx

    Well I spent big time:o :o , £8 on fruit and veg and £64 on-line at Tescos.
    The on-line shop is all basic ,mostly non perishable items,and I only do that sort of shop every 2/3 months.So spread out it doesn't work out too bad.

    I got NSD number 6 yesterday, but didn't manage to follow that up with number 7 today - gave into the coffee shop!

    Over the weekend we've got a trip to a friend's 30 birthday party so I suspect there might be one or two spends there... :beer:

    10 NSDs out of 10 aimed for :j- so am going to up my target to 15 for September:eek:.

    Trouble is once I break the NS rule in a day I am tempted to keep spending so NSD targets really have helped me. Thanks for the idea

    Another NSD for me today although I didn't realise it until about an hour ago :)

    I did spend £1.40 on a parking ticket but I'm not counting that as it's expenses for my voluntary work that I will get reimbursed (sp) and also I has to lend the money off DD as I didn't have any change. So I'm defo counting it as a NSD.
    The weekend is going to be spend day's i'm sure but that's ok, I'm just going to be sensible and buy things I NEED !!
