  • Not sure if it counts, but if I am on a business trip (as I was earlier this week) and buy food, the cost of which I will later claim back on expenses - does that still count as a NSD as I haven't actually spent anything that won't be claimed back? If I that's the case, then I've managed 2 of my projected 10 NSDs. This is harder than I thought it would be... :-)
  • Yipppeeee another NSD for me yesterday, God I am getting good at this now. Aiming for another one today as well. If only I could be this good every day.
    MAY NSD's

  • 4 days here so far (going to spend today, but thats a main shop) so been fairly good! Not bought any kebabs or chips etc at work...

    I think you should count this as an NSD - in a sense it's money that you've had to spend for business purposes, in the same way that you wouldn't count the petrol or train fare. And when you're away from home you've got less control over spending!

    Managed my 4th NSD today. Tomorrow I've got to buy food. Sunday I will stay in all day (that way I can't spend anything).

    I know i'm late to join but i'm a new member so hopefully you'll forgive me.

    I'm using my own rules though and considering the time of year xmas prezzies dont count and neither does deisel costs as i do alot of miles. However spending on drinks/sweets whilst buying fuel does! obvioulsy.

    I'm going to aim for 8 for my first month which i think id do-able

    Today was a first one for me so only 7 more to go.

    right now to go and do my sig
