    Number 6 today - only 12 to go... that means realistically I only have 6 possible spend days.... this could be tough but I will make it... I MUST make it!
    Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

    Yesterday turned out to be quite an expensive day out but we ended up with dinner for free thanks to walking past a restaurant and the manager accosting us. Turned out it was an old friend of DH's who had moved back into the area so he fed the 4 of us for nowt:T:T:T.

    Today however was my NSD number 7. i spent all day in the garden in the glorious sunshine and completely forgot to go out and get my Scotland on Sunday. Will just have to sit and eat chocolate instead of reading the paper tonight:EasterBun

    You lot are inspirational! I'm really surprised how hard it is to have a total NSD. I have pared my spending right down but have so many days when I have to spend a pound or two. At least this challenge focuses me on trying. I've managed two days so far. But this week will be difficult. Good luck everybody.
  • I nearly managed 2 over the weekend, sat was defo a NSD, but today wasn't just because DD wanted to make butter icing for the fairy cakes we made - and i don't do butter! so a 99p spend - oh well nearly made it, and we did have fun making them (and they tasted scrummy - bang goes the diet!!).

    Hello everbody,

    I'm going to have to bow out of the April challenge as I've been so busy I just haven't got organised and have been buying something most days, I've lost count of the number of spend days never mind the NSD.

    Good luck to everybody with their challenge.
