    Hi, Could I please join? I am currently on school hols so August will be harder than normal, however I will give it my best shot!
    Could you please put me down for:

    10 NSD's

    I want to do more but with two children off also it will be very difficult. I will still keep up my payment a day challenge as this is reducing my debt.

    Many thanks and Good luck all

    Could I join please? I'd like to start small with 7 days but hopefully i'll achieve more than that.

    Won't be including bills and the like. Already done the main bulk of the shopping for the month so will be including any groceries along the way.

    Hoping today will be my 1st NSD, going to have a lazy sunday walking the dog and baking cakes!

    I know I was up early/late, but I felt awful all day Friday which meant I had to go shopping yesterday instead :undecided Not exactly what I had planned for this & my rejoining the Grocery Challenge either :wall:Still--these things are sent to try us!

    Don't forget to share your tips on keeping you on the straight & narrow. Does anyone fancy a look at threads for packed lunch ideas etc because I've got them somewhere. Give me a shout if you're interested....

    I failed dismally last month - but can I come back & try again this month?

    Please....

    I'll go for 10 again - and I did manage a NSD yesterday by locking myself in the house - drastic, but it worked.
