    Two NSDs in two days for me means I'm off the mark! Shopping tomorrow but Sunday should be another NSD, so three out of the first seven days isn't too bad. I'm on a course Monday to Friday next week so there will definitely be some spendage - but it's all work-related so I'm not going to count it! :D Unless I'm tempted down the pub it could be five NSDs in a row...

    Back on track now I think after a couple of days with friends (which made NSD somewhat harder!). Anyway, today was NSD No 2 for this month; hoping to get at least one more over the weekend..... hope it's going well for everyone!

    First NSD of he month for me! I am finding this more difficult than I thought. I reckon in a normal month I easily manage 5 NSD's but seems that having made it 'official' I am now struggling! Anyone else find this or is it just me? :o

    Right, off to update signature!

    Might be because you're thinking about it more? Maybe, before, you weren't really noticing when you were spending..
    Chin up though, still got three weeks to go! You can do 5, easy!

    :whistle:.........Shall I get my coat now :o
    I was going to write a whole list of reasons why I've had to spend but what's the point :confused: It won't change them into NSDs so
    I've just got to try harder from now on that's all. I have had a spend every day so far this month because circumstances have dictated it to be that way & sometimes that cannot be avoided. I know where the money has gone & it hasn't been squandered so no real harm done :smiley:

    Hi BMF. Don't even think about getting your coat. Where would we be without you?!

    Don't worry, we all know what it's like. After all, you can't get through life without spending anything. This challenge is just great because it makes us more aware of our spends and think twice before frittering money away. Sometimes you've just got to spend!

    I hope everyone is doing ok. I've only managed 1 NSD so far but I'm hoping that I'll manage another one tomorrow.

    Have a good day everyone.
