    I didn't manage NSD yesterday for a stupid chocolate bar... :( Was feeling bit low and have been on a health kick for last 3 weeks or so, so thought I'd deserve one. Was also supposed to pay last months hobbies, have gone to training without paying as didn't have any money last month, but was running late so didn't manage to do that either. :(

    Today will be a spend day as well as have to buy lunch (didn't have time for breakfast so ate my sandwiches just now) and a birthday card for my gran. The next two days are likely to be spend days as well. Two more days to go before 29th, I can do it!:o

    Finally managed another NSD - this is much more difficult than I thought. Now 5 out of 6 so I should still hit the target though. Today won't be one, as I have to collect my dry cleaning from Sainsburys, so if I buy food for lunches for the rest of the week while I'm there, might manage a NSD tomorrow.

  • There aren't enough days left in the month to meet my target of 18, which was stupidly ambitious after starting a week late. But I'll soldier on and try and get as many as poss and see it as a trial run for next month:o On the upside I've not actually spent that much this month. Good luck to everyone else!

    Got back from Manchester last night, as predicted was spending all weekend!
    Woke up feeling rough today, sore throat etc etc. Had to go and pick up missed parcel from the PO depot, was contemplating popping into the superstore on the way, but took the dog with me instead, so couldn't leave her outside!
    Just going to do some housework and wait for OH to come home, so NSD no. 7 today!
    Getting a little worried thou, I need 8 more NSDs to reach my target, and only 10 days left in the month!!

    Hi everyone & well done on all the NSD s everyone is having. I do hope we're not responsible for the current crisis what with all our non-spending :rolleyes:

    Whatever, I've done ( well, as good as :p ) day 11 now & still only have £2.11 p in my purse :o as long as it stays in there I'm happy ;)
