    I'm still on 5/12 - yesterday would have been a NSD but had to go to A+E will DD last night so ended up having a sandwich out of a vending machine - what a glam life i lead :-)
    Hope it's not too bad Fraggle _pale_
    Managed another yesterday. I have to say this challenge is really helping to shift the odds-n-sods out of the freezer & store cupboard if nothing else :rolleyes:

    As expected Sunday was a spend day but haven't spent anything since so 2 more NSDs. Today might be a spend again but we'll see.

    Well done to everyone and keep going! I seem to be really struggling this month, I really think I might fail on my own challenge :o

    I know how you feel slowlyfading - just can't get it together this month. It feels like we just have loads of things to get and I can't get them all done on one day. Still, many of my spend days have been very low spend, so I'm not going to stress too much. It's the state of the bank balance at the end of the month that counts (in which case, I'm still stuffed! LOL)
  • Finally managed NSD no. 4! :) Moday was a LSD - just £1 bus fare, and I've been dithering over whether to count it or not, but I've decided against. Gives me more incentive to try harder for the rest of the month.

    Keep going everyone!!
    NSD number 7 today- need to get petrol tomorrow and opticians on Saturday. I might also have overestimated what I could achieve this month- with birthdays and holidays I should have realised it would be tough. Then again it's a great incentive to do the best I can and I'm quite proud of my effort for my first try!!
