    Hi all , well after my unbroken stint of 11 NSD's ended up going out for my friends b'day. So hungover and felt awful yesterday.
    So far i have 12 NSD's :D only 13 more to go :j

    Have you tired taking for any walks near by you? I regularly take the bys over the beck with a net, bucket and a picnic.They love all that grubbing around. I also take mine swimming (free for them), museums, art galleries (all the free ones).

    Sorry folks for not keeping up.

    I achieved my goal of 7 NSDs in July and am renewing for 7 in August.

    I have already chalked up 4 so really should set my sights higher next month.

    I only include days where I have no S/Os or D/Ds coming off and since there are a dozen of them it does cut down my options.

    I travel 90 miles a day to work so fuel has to be bought more frequently than I would like so that cuts the available number down. Weekend shopping at Tesco is another blow to the number of days so I don't think I'll ever get above 10.

    However you guys with high NSD targets really do inspire me!

    I'm doing terribly this month... only 1 NSD so far! :eek: I'm not holding out much hope either - its the Edinburgh fringe/festival this month along with my Birthday so this always leads to lots of spending in Aug! :o I do have a budget set aside for this but its not good for the old NSDs! :o :rotfl:
    Mortgage free as of 12/08/20!

    Here I go for today

    AIM - leave purse at home = don't spend any money!

    ACHIEVED - 0/4 so far

    Back later today to report how I have done

    ACHIEVED! It worked, left purse at home and no temptation to spend and a NSD result.

    Try it again tomorrow :D why did I not think of this before :confused: to avoid the perils of working next to a humungous supermarket and another 2 within striking distance

    5 down 10 to go!
