    3 NSD's to date - if I manage to find free parking near the hospital today then I should be able to make it 4 but not sure this will be the outcome! giggle....

    Does anyone find that if your plan for a NSD is ruined by something silly like bus fare or milk that you end up spending a bit more to make it worth it for the failure or is it just me? I know if I have to pay for parking today that I will no doubt buy a magazine or something equally silly! grrrr - I MUST get better with my will power!
    Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

    Saturday was NSD number 3, Sunday would have been but I went to a car boot sale and got DH to hand over £3 for me so although the money didn't come out of my purse it would have done if I had my purse with me.:o

    I am realising just how much of the shopping DH does. If i was including him then I wouldn't have had an NSD yet. I'll maybe get him on board for next month and try to get him to cut back on the spending days. At least it does tend to be just food he buys but there are always more sweets or biscuits than I'm happy with.

  • Hi

    Looks like today will be the 2nd NSD of the month - can see 12 being a difficult figure to muster this month:undecided

    bye bye
  • Ooooo managed another today!! I've been classing no spend days as not spending any money, even out of my budget (i.e. I didn't count Friday as I went to Asda, but that's all I spent so does that count?).

    It's a weird feeling not spending money, I am so used to spending for the sake of it it's odd to leave the tuck shop alone and to walk past the corner shop.

    Yay, another unexpected one for me today (assuming I don't blow it and pop out for anything.

    That makes 2 of my 12 so far, I am happy with that as this last week has been hectic.

    Off to update my siggy and my tracking post on the first page.
