    I declare today a NSD as I did nothing apart from housework and playing Farmville on Facebook :o

    Not many to go now until I get the purple NSW crown :rotfl:

    Hi All

    I just crept in at £14.55 last week without the need for creative budgeting! So green please for me. This week I will aim for £18 please - I can think of nothing I need to buy though I'm sure this may change over the week.

    Started with a NSD today as I have spent the majority of the day overhauling and clearing out the junk from my bedroom. Its amazing how much useless stuff I had managed to pile on top of the wardrobe!

    You would not believe the junk I found when clearing out the spare room and the top my wardrobes contain many suitcases most of them full of junk I must sort them out at some point :mad:

    Welcome I have added you. With a name like that you must be from Scotland where are you?

    NSD to report yesterday only spends were in B&Q but they don't count for this challenge. Lunch is sorted for today so hopefully a NSD or LSD today.

    I haven't done this for ages but I realised this week that I need to get my incidental spending back in control - specially as it's a 5 week month and I'm nearly spent out!!! So £10 for me this week please.

    Good luck everyone.

    PP can you add me to the list please?

    Please may I join?

    I've set myself a strict spends budget of £30 per week. This doesn't include groceries, petrol etc so in theory should be easy, but I seem to spend my money on random silly things that I don't need.

    So far this week I have spent £20 on some gig tickets and £2.60 on my lunch. So this makes my total spend so far £22.60 and leaves me with £6.40 for the rest of the week. Hoping for NSDs for most of the rest of the week!
