  • Hi,

    Can you put me down for 8 NSDs please. I've never done this before so thought I would start fairly low, but am planning to increase by one day every month this year, giving me 19 NSDs in December! I think I'm gonna include all spending which isn't a direct debit or expected bill. Not sure about groceries yet - might try to limit that to once a week (which would be a great start - I'm on first name terms with the staff in my local Tesco!).

    Lets see what happens!

    No NSD today, but only spent £3 to get milk and cakes for the little one ! Didn't stray to buy unnecessary food that would end up on my already flabby hips !
