    List updated. NSD number 1 for me yay! Got plenty of food in, back to work tomorrow so can't spend then and aiming to have a lazy weekend too decluttering the house.

    Ahem i have removed my NSD as just found a great deal on a tumble dryer on eBay and have wanted one for ages so just used the proceeds of a big eBay sale to buy it.

    If its money neutral can i still count it :p

    Will update list in a sec.

    Put me down for 9 as I made 7 out of 6 for December. I am going to include only things that do not come out of a specific budget.

    I generally fail at this challenge, so put me down for 5 - that's one a week, and I promise that I will try my best.

    Today was NOT such a day, because we had a rare day when the 4 of us were able to spend time together so we treated ourselves to dinner out - it will probably be the only time in 2009 we get to do this so well worth the NSD sacrifice!

    Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

    Hope I'm not too late but please can I join in? Think I'll err on the side of caution so I'll try for six NSD.
