    Well its a NSD today - yesterday wasn;t as we went out to lunch but it only cost us £9.99 for four as they made a complete @@@@@ up and so didn;t charge us for any of the food !!!
  • I had today planned as an NSD - but my mum bought a portable TV for my boyfriend this morning at a car boot (practically brand new and only cost £4!) - so I've given her the money for that! So at least it's a low spend day, if not a no spend day!

    I'll have to get my skates on to make my target of 20 though!
  • Well I'm declaring today a NSD. Didn't spend anything this morning as went walking and I'm not going out for the rest of the day so thats it. NSD number 6.

    Hi All,

    Another NSD for me today (not going out anywhere so I'm safe to say that now). Almost succombed to going out for lunch - so glad I didn't now.

    I have to be honest and say when I joined this challenge I thought "what a doddle". However, its proving to be a real hard challenge for me! This is definitely a challenge I will be sticking with for a long, long time. It was the thought of this that stopped me going out for lunch - and to be honest I couldn't really have afforded it anyway - so thank you for this challenege!

    I have the lovely dentist tomorrow though and need to buy a few bits so tomorrow will not be :(
