No NSD today for me as I ended up going to the pub, (it's the usual night for our group of friends). However I 99% knew this would happen, but I still treated it as a NSD during the day so didn't buy breakfast, lunch of afternoon drinks at work saving me a grand total of about £3. Total spend was £7.20 for 2 drinks and two packets of snacks :O 0

People who don't drink aren't boring! I don't drink, and I'm always the one with energy at the end of the night when everyone else is flagging! Sadly I stopped drinking way before I joined this board, otherwise I would have been able to use the amount I saved for sensible things (like holidays - I don't have much debt, thankfully).
Still, when I quit smoking I will do that - as I now keep track of my spending, I can easily see how much I spend on tobacco each month.
On another note, I had my first NSD of October yesterday! I'm working evenings, which I think will probably help me not spend (although I may lose all my friends!).0
