    Another NSD for me yesterday - that's 3 in a row and halfway to my target.

    Don't think so. I've switched everything i can now i think!

    Altho I'm now undecided about going on friday now anyway! I really want to but it's in a hotel bar in london and i can't really afford somewhere like that! I will be driving to the station tho so at least i won't be drinking £10.50 cocktails! ;-) Soft drinks can't be that much can they? I hate being skint all the time!
    They'll probably be quite expensive, especially as its a hotel bar...

    having once spent a whole year going out but not having alcohol, I would say its not really any cheaper - coke, redbull are all pretty expensive out.
    I would recommend having a drink that you really want alcoholic or otherwise, and then making every other one a glass of *free* water! If anyone asks why, say you don't want to spoil your evening by getting too drunk! I'm sure you do deserve a night out :)

    i am finding it quite difficult to keep NSD, i'm quite good at not spending in shops/while out, but I find myself getting things online, ebay, deals from the weekly email...I don't even realise I've done it....does anyone else find electronic money easier to spend!!?

    Aiming for an NSD today, lots of work to catch up on so no plans to leave the house really.

    I'm back on track, having decided not to go drinking in London on friday!

    Right decision I know! But now got to decide what to say to my friend!
