    Ok....I've been thinking about it and I may be being a crazy lady but I'm going to stick with my 22. :eek:

    I'm hoping my spend days will be
    1. One big shop
    2. one medium sized shop
    3. and two small fruit and veg / packed lunch / Christmas stuff etc tops ups.
    4. so that makes 4
    5. I've also got an Abel & Cole delivery coming
    6. and I'll have to pay the milkman one day
    7. my daughter has the orthodontists tomorrow which usually involves some kind of treat afterwards plus busfares
    which leaves me with 2 spend days for Christmas shopping!!! :eek:

    My planned social things this month are round someone's house with a bottle of wine, free work do's or prepaid get-togethers - although there are bound to be some un-scheduled ones as well aren't there? It's the Christmas run up... :eek:

    Oh well - I'll have to combine as much as possible into some days so I do supermarket shopping, Christmas shopping and pay for stuff all on the same days! (It's been working so far! :D )

    22 it is then my lovelies! :eek:

    Good luck to all of us. I think doing this in December is especially challenging which makes us all especially brave! :D

    Thanks for taking the reins again this month Lilmissmup. I love the way you've done the list - much tidier looking and easier to see who's in your "team"!

    December? Bring it ON! :D

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    I went for 10 in November, so I'm going to be really adventurous and go for 13! :D

    Please add me in this month. I will try for 10 NSD which is the no of days I will be at work this month so should be okay.

    Can't believe I am starting all these challenges in December but perhaps more chance of working as not linked into the 'New Year Resolutions' pressure :rolleyes:

    Hi lilmissmup, please put me down for 10 days again in December. Bought a lot of presents at the weekend, so hoping this is acheivable.

    Well good morning, good morning!!

    Happy December everyone! Hope you're all well today?

    I'm starting the month with my first shiny NSD - since I'm upping the ante on last month by 2 days, I think I'll try and get as many under my belt as quickly as possible!

    Today should've been a spend day, I was planning to go to the library and print out lots of info for an interview I have next week - but I was a little cheeky and did it in work instead! :eek:

    Tomorrow will defo be a spend day as I'm getting my haircut in the morning (a new 'do in time for the Christmas partying to begin!!), although it will still hopefully be an low spend day since I'm trying out my local college rather than my usual hairdressers!

    Most of my Christmas shopping is done already, so hopefully that should make it a little easier to stick to the challenge!!

    Happy NSD-ing everyone!

    Well I failed spectacularly in November - I think I got about 8 but my target was 15. Oops!

    I will aim for 8 this time.

    I'm also going to change my rules, so that petrol no longer counts. If I want to go to work (which I don't really, but ya know...) petrol is an unavoidable expense.

    Im gonna go for 12 and see how i get on - will just mean a little more planning into my shopping days.
