    Just one more sleep until the official start of November my lovelies! :eek::D (although I know some of you have begun already to fit in with your paydays - and that's fine.

    I guess I'd better set my target then huh?

    I know it's probably dumb when I've got Christmas shopping to do, plumbers and sparkies to pay, and my milk delivery seems to have crashed and burned after only one day - but I'm going for the 22 again.

    But on the other hand.... Maybe it'll be easier? Cos hopefully I'm getting the hang of this mullarkey by now???

    I'm off to update The Official List of Motivation :D before the high from all the cold and flu meds in my system wears off! :eek:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    You're quite right of course honey. I dunno how I could forget - I've got half a dozen fresh faced teenagers to "goth up" for a party tomorrow night!

    Love Jacks xxx (who probably should go to bed now :o)

    Jacks, new members seem to be a little confused about the challenge, could you add a few 'rules' to the first post?
    Along the lines of...You can count what you want as a NSD, some people don't count dinner money, kids pocket money etc as it's a regular bill.

    I only count non-essentials, ie I don't count food (unless it's a treat) as that is part of my monthly food budget.

    Just thought it might clear up a couple of things for people browsing the thread :)

  • :hello:

    Hi there - I've not been part of this challenge before but having worked out the other week the huge amount we spend, am determined to do a few NSDs in the month! (I think my record might be 1NSD so far in my life!!).

    So, I'll have a tiny target to start with please ... and I'll aim for 4 NSDs for November!

    Thanks

    :hello: Hi Jacks, I think 'the Rules' you've now posted are great- I can't think of anything else to add and I think it's clear enough for anyone who hasn't taken part before! x
