    Managed another NSD yesterday even tho I wandered around a market....says as much about their prices as it does about not having what I'm looking for :o It also means I'm off out again in a minute because I need to get this birthday present so I'll take the opportunity to stock up on the good old fruit & veg. Do others find these two are the prime suspects to ruin a perfectly acceptable NSD? :cool:

    Nah because I will buy beers on marathon day no doubt ;), so its just today till Friday :o

    Yeah the hotel was expensive but we got the cheapest we could (£280 each for a week) and the flights were super cheap (£220 each) so all in for £500 not too bad :D

    In fact I'll likely spend every day this week as I am carb loading so need LOTs of food but I'll try to keep to a minimum - its a bit of an odd week so I think I'll let myself off :D

    NSD no. 9 today, too busy with work to think about spending - and probably the same tomorrow!

  • So monday this week was a NSD, and tuesday was too - my friend very generously paid for it :o as a thank you for something i did.

    wednesday I felt ill and didn't go anywhere

    Thursday I went into work but didnt spend anything either

    Friday I did buy Easter eggs. but today I am not spending anything either and even tho I went out last night (re gifted wine ) and am going out tonight (getting lift and taking popcorn) I won't spending either!

    5/10 so far and I am on holiday!! yippee!


    right,

    I did spend loads the second week of my holiday but i have had three no spend days in a row, Sat, Sun, and monday.

    Now I am back to work I can go back to my routine of trying not to spend on mon, wed, and frid.

    8/10 so far.

    I think I might aim for 10 every month, its not been bad so far.
