    Ooh, I'm having another unexpected one (as the actress said etc etc...). I'm usually so crap at this challenge that it's rather taken me by surprise. Anyway, two down, ten to go...

    YES! NSD number 2 for me today.
    The fact that I'm practically penniless at the minute probably helps. I haven't even bought milk despite it running out on Monday, been drinking jasmine tea instead (and enjoying it loads actually) and haven't really missed it.

    Funny how easily you can do without things you would usually consider essentials... Although we've ran out of wholegrain mustard too so MUST go shopping tomorrow cos that definitely IS essential in this household :D

    Doesn't it put into perspective all of the silly unnecessary things you normally don't think twice about buying during the day though.

    Oops I lost track!! Right lets see...
    4th ~ Bought a packet of crisps and 2 bottles of lucosade. Impulse buys so a spend day.
    5th ~ NSD no. 2
    6th ~ Had to put a deposit down on wedding flowers, but that comes out of my wedding budget so NSD no.3

    Today I have no plans to spend so should be no. 4 today :)

    Hello - I know I'm a late starter but can you sign me up for 5 please? I'm going to start from today (which wasn't an NSD as I had to get milk).

    Thank you.

    Welcome MrsP

    I think that planned spending is OK because you cannot live without milk.

    I have managed my third one today:j
