    Yesterday was NSD number 8 out of 9 for me. I might manage one tomorrow, but am not sure. Otherwise on to November.

    Big Mumma, I missed your message that you posted and the general flurry of people asking you to stay, but you've been great managing this thread the 3 months I've been on it. Obviously I wouldn't hold it against you if it was too much work and you wanted to stop, but if you want to keep doing then that's what I want too!!!

    First..apologies Dragon, if I inadvertently pressurised you into more NSDs than you had intended :oIf it happens again--to anyone--please give me a shout. My siggy sez it all at times :doh:
    And two..all you lucky folk having holidays! Enjoy the time away from werk & hope the break brings you all you are hoping for.

    I'm trying to keep today & tomorrow spend-free, but know only too well how plans do not necessarily equate to reality :cool: so we shall see....

    I failed....must try better in November (which for me starts today on payday and I've been a-spending online, lol).

    I managed 7 out of 10 and some of those I'm sure were only because I've been poorly!

    Will aim for 10 again please :)

    Woohoo, I did it!!!!

    yesterday was indeed a NSD which brings me to my target of 10! very pleased at the unexpected turn of events! ;)

    I did actually spend yesterday, but it was on a gum shield at the dentist and my Dad had given me the money for it, so technically not my money, therefore NSD!

    AND......I'm not sure yet but today might even put me OVER my target for the first time ever! We shall see! I have wine already, and have food so unless hubs wants something it could be a NSD too!

    Off to work out my target for Nov now! I love this challenge and this thread and it really keeps me aware of my spending! Cheers Bigmumma for keeping up the good work!
