    No 6 NSD for me :D

    Although 15 is now looking a tad optimistic! But I'll keep trying!
  • OK - so I'm gonna declare today as number 7/20.

    I need to buy a couple of birthday cards, and was debating whether to buy a pressie for one of the birthdays as well, but I've decided to just stick with the cards, which means I can save the spend 'til Saturday, when I'd be spending on the B/day night out anyway! :D

    Another NSD for me today, had a training course but remembered the break room had a kitchen so took in HM soup for lunch (rubbish weather anyway). Watched the second half of 24: Redemption on my iPod in preparation for the new series tonight, so didn't go out at all.

    Have finished early so came home instead of going to the cinema, free tickets anyway and had brought a sandwich so probably would have been NS anyway but now I'm in and NOT going out again!

    A spend day in the Dragon household but hopefully that should be the grocery shopping done for the week (occasional top ups of milk may be required!), so all things being equal tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday should be NSDs which would have us at target!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
    NSD 15/20, OS WL 21-6 (4) :(C.R.A.P R.O.L.L.Z #44 Twisted Firestarter, VSP #57 - £39.43
    :p Every Penny's a Prisoner :p
  • Okay, so I have a dilemma. Today was not a NSD as had to do the grocery shopping at Mr T's. However, one item that I didn't buy was Moroccan housmous as I much prefer Sainsburys. It was on my list, so if I just buy that one item tomorrow at Sainsbury's tomorrow, out of my grocery budget can I still count a NSD?

    I think I will because otherwise my mentality will be 'I've blown it now, might as well spend...'. I might just leave the exact money in my purse then I cannot be tempted.

    Well done to all those continuing with the NDSs!

    Hmm. If I was you I would count it as a spend day - you're only 4 off target and you have plenty of time to do that. If you make excuses then you're more likely to in future :)
