October - The NSD Challenge

Today is NSD no 9 for me! Since I have 11 more to go to reach target, and only 11 days to do it in, I'll probably not make it all the way to 20 - since I have at least one spend day scheduled for next week for my cookery class.
I'm a bit gutted, but maybe 20 for my first month was a bit ambitious! I'll just try from now to have as many NSD's as I can before the end of the month, and maybe try manage it a bit better to get me a nice big star for next month! :P

Wooohoo shall give you a star
I am really struggling this month, my own fault as splurged a bit at the beginning but i don't think i am gonna hit target and feel like i am letting people down as i have been running the challenge
Think the jump from 15 - 20 was too much, should have been a bit more gradual.
I might make 18 but i do need a bit of a life and also to eat!Currently today has been a NSD but i do need a few bits like squash and cat food, wondering if can last til tomorrow.
Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
9th NSD, I'm catching up and back on track! Only one spend day in the last 6
I'm soooo hungry
You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
Made food to take to work tonight, so definately gonna be an NSD today - wahoo!'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0
