    Hi there...thanks for running this SF:p

    Can you put me down for 12 this month please? I failed my ambitious 18 in March and as it's the Easter hols next week, I daren't try to be too hopeful!

    I don't count groceries, I account for them in my grocery budget, but I'm strict and if I stick a magazine or other treat in then it ruins my NSD!

    Good luck everyone;)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Very impressed at those of you going for 20 days. Are you just incredibly organised, or do you not count things like grocery shopping?
    I include everything except DDs and debt payments.... Its the first time I've done it that way and it seemed to work ok.... you just make sure that you have enough things to last, and when you know you need to buy bread or milk say, then you squeeze in any other essential spends in that day to...

    15 for me please! I struggled last month but I reckon I can get a good start this time round and that should give me momentum to carry on!

  • Having hit target three months out of three I'll go for 15 days again.

    If I exceed it I might be brave enough to up the stakes in May!

    **creeps in**

    Having got a strange inability to achieve NSDs, only managing one in every other blue moon......I NEED to crack this!

    April is perhaps not the best time to give it a go, with the school holidays.....especially as we are going away for 10 days.......BUT, if I commit to 5 days for the month, then there might be a reasonable chance of me doing it.
