Yaaarrr, I'm a pirate.

Thanks for the PM pointy, I've sent you a wee reply

Hi can i join too please! Put me down forrrrrrrrrrrr £5 - low and quite tough for me but seeing as i lost my bank card on a very hazy weekend (only to later find it in my sock(?!) after i cancelled it) it shouldn't be that hard with only about £5 worth of coins in my purse!!

Hi everyone :hello:

I'd love to join in this challenge. I already budget myself £50 a month for bits and pieces but usually go over so splitting it into weeks and seeing how I go will be a better incentive I think.

This week I'd like to be put down for £8. I'm planning as many nsd's as possible and today will definitely be one as we can't get out the front door for the snow :rotfl:

Welcome JemJam and Naomim I have added you to the first post.

The wonderful weather (it is snowing a lot here) has put a spanner in the works for my plan of walking to work this week :mad:

Oh well there is always next week. I have my lunch with me so hopefully a NSD as I don't think I will venture out of the office in this blizzard.

Have a good day everyone.

We have about 4" outside, it's still snowing and there are no London Buses at all!

Was planning another NSD today, but I may have to buy tea to keep warm...

Wonder if my lectures will be cancelled...

Jemjam - socks are sneaky! mine are always disappearing in the WM, but as far as I know none have tried to steal my cards!

Pointypenguin - most of the time the guys that come in here are lovely, really polite, but both Saturday and Sunday I had drama. Tbh it's quite unusual. I don't go to the gym as much as I should either - and I work at one :rotfl:

Pips mum - Congratulations!

Naomim - welcome! i've only been on this thread a few weeks and I've found it really helpful and supportive.

Woohoo - my work colleague has just magicked some teabags from her bag - may be a NSD after all!!

Have a lovely day everybody

Huge wave to pointypenguin and everyone here today :hello:

Today's secret of a nsd is the weather, can't get to work, so I'll be at home all day!

The only reason I'm doing a zero spend pledge, is my 34% MBNA card, I am so determined to clear it and stick two fingers up at them for refusing to drop the interest rate (it's because I'm a valued customer, you know ). When I've cleared it, I'm going to leave a nominal credit sum on it, 10p maybe even £1, so that they have to issue a statement each month, it will cost them a lot more than the amount on the card......

Hi

I need to revise mine to £15 NOT including food spend as have already spent £25 on food, haha. Part of my grocery budget though so it's not a real spend...honest...:o

My poor FIL is a bus driver. He managed to get to work for 5am to be told all cancelled and go home BUT the bus depot was telling all drivers to come in to work to clock in then go home. No clocking in then no getting paid :mad:

The snow is really thick here (London/Surrey border). We have been out and built a snowman in the front garden. The snow came upto DS's knees.

At least it will be a nsd for me

Nothing like being a valued customer of MBNA - I've just found out I'm £1.17 in credit with MBNA and I haven't had a statement for 18months - I wonder if I'm earning interest? I only rang them up to see if they'd do a 0% balance transfer - guess what - they won't.
