  • Yesterday was NSD number 9 for me; however, will probably be flashing the cash tomorow - so that will the end of my short lived run!

    I think the rain beat us to "tidying" the garden before daylight broke yesterday..soz folks :p I got an NSD on Weds so going to update my siggy in a bit, but wanted to say:-
    YOU decide what does or does not count as a Spend, as it has to be relevant to YOU.
    Saturday may be a designated Buy Nothing event, but Life still goes on so don't sweat it if you've already made plans; now we know such a thing exists we can be ready for it next year :D

  • Achieved my 8th NSD yesterday. Should hopefully be number 9 today bar any unforeseen circumstances that force me to part with cash.

  • number 7 here too, target reached =D may see if can get to 10 by the end of the month now!
  • Good evening everyone!

    I'm delighted to have clocked up NSD number 9 today! I didn't go out at all today so it wasn't too much of a struggle. :D I'm hoping for another tomorrow and 'International spend nowt day' gives it a bit of an incentive, but I'll check in tomorrow to update.

    Off to update my sig... have a good weekend all! :T

    Isn't International No Spend Day NEXT Saturday (28th?). I do hope so,as we are out for lunch today (no other expected spends today though).

    Have a good weekend everyone.
