    :jWoohoo New Year, New Challenge!:j

    I just scraped my target last month but am really pleased I did as it was my first month doing the challenge and it was Christmas so loads of shopping to be done.

    Can you put me down for 18 NSDs in January please.
    Upping the total quite a bit as when the baby ever decides to show up I should not have to go out for a while as we have everything we need also might have a couple of days in hospital.
    :beer:Happy New Year everyone x x :beer:

    Hi aiming for 10 days again this month. Nearly made it in December so I am really optomistic about doing this in January :D Have set myself some very tight budgets for the month and will definately be sticking to then.

    Happy New Year to one and all.

    I haven't done this for a couple of months but as I don't get paid until end of January and I'm all spent out then I'm going for 20 nsd's. I'm not including d/debits, fuel or groceries (£150 for 4 adults for a month) all of which are budgetted for.

    Happy New Year everyone:beer:

    Hello Jacks, Lilmissmup & everybody,

    After being MIA in December I would like to try for 8 in January please.

    I'm feeling rather sick at the frightening amounts of money I have spent on my social life lately, so I am resolved to stay in at least two nights a week and to make those my No Spend Days.
    Good luck everybody, and a Very Happy New Year! :beer:
