    Could I have a bash at this please? I need to have as many NSDs as possible, but it's going to be a little tricky as it's youngest offspring's b'day later this month! Normally I wander around for a few weeks like a Gumshoe on surveillence :p gathering intelligence until I see something I feel is 'right'. Trouble with this method is the temptation to get a 'few bits' whilst I'm out :o We don't have a usable shopping centre in our town so have to travel which only fuels my weakness to stock up in the shops I don't see very often, with Wilkos being a classic case in point.

    Anyhoo, I'll try for 12 as it's my first attempt. I've had one already & yesterday it was just the window cleaner but I do need the infamous few bits today.
    Why not buy online? MOre choice, better prices, and it won't cost you anything to stop for a coffee...;)
  • Another spend day for me today. Haven't managed a NSD yet this month, but am hoping I won't be spending at all the rest of the week (wed-fri). Today we have groceries and also I bought my OH a new bike....:eek: . He uses it to commute to work so it'll pay for itself in 2 months by not taking the bus. (and we're selling off his old bike and other bits and bobs which will make up for a good portion of the cost - ALMOST money neutral!) And I got a GREAT deal on it! He's well excited and so am I! :j
    but, for the rest of the week we will be having NSDs!

    Had a spend day yesterday, bought groceries to make packed lunches for work, need to get into the habit rather than spending £3/£4 everyday! Havn't had them since I was at school! Out with the girls from work tonight so another spend day today but hopefully (fingers crossed) wednesday and the weekend will be NSDs.
    I feel your pain it is very difficult to get motivated to make lunch and not just go out and buy a salad with friend from work.

  • Afternoon all NSD Wannabe's...!

    I put myself down for ten and so far I have managed two - Sunday and Monday.

    Today I need petrol (dratted things cars!)..... so one spend day so far and kept it low.

    Hopefully tomorrow will be a NSD day also, but we'll see.

    Good luck all.
