A bit slow at the off but I'll try for another 12 NSD's for December!
Managed 11 last month so hopefully I'll just about make it this month! On number 3 today so a reasonable start :j
Good luck all! xPround to be dealing with my debts! DFW Nerd # 1201

Well I kind of knew my NSD's would go to pot over weekends, which is why I'm trying to get them in midweek!
After managing Tues & Weds as NSD's, I had to buy tobacco on Thursday.
Friday was almost a NSD, but I had to use 20p for my tyre pressures. I have to do this on a Friday each week so they are spot on for 180 mile round trip on the motorway.
Does anyone think I should count Friday as a NSD because of this? I didn't spend anything else (DP bought me a takeaway when I arrived) and can't really do it any other day to combine spends, it has to be Friday.
Saturday I went climbing (£7) and Sunday bought my food bits for the week (milk, fruit). Going to struggle for NSDs this week, have to get sugar and (replacement!) neon pink gloves for DD(5) today.0 -
Well I managed Friday and Saturday. (Had to buy socks on Sunday, which Id didn't budget for. ). Think I should manage at least two- three days this week, so I'm on track at the moment.
Managed to bag myself a lift home for Christmas too, so I've just saved the £20-50 I'd normally be spending on a train ticket...0 -
spent over the weekend - yesterday would have been a NSD but for £3.30 parking - picked up a friend from the airport! a nd the machine only gave me change in COINS from a £20 note! purse feels nice & heavy - for once!0

No 4 for me today :T. Daughter has a college trip on Wednesday so anything else I need will have to be bought on Wednesday to keep me on track. :rolleyes:***Dont save what is left after spending, spend what is left after saving***0

Aww...my heart fair swelled with pride, seeing another fledgling embracing the Journey of NSD-idness
Does remind me too, of that saying about 'necessity being the Mother of Invention'; I know that personally, I've found some interesting alternative solutions instead of going out to buy something...think my craziest idea was using tin foil to wrap a b'day prezzie, tied with some fluorescent orange laces I'd 'rescued' from a pair of kids trainers :rotfl:Twas in the days before wide-spread Sunday opening tho...
Just going to add the new names to The List...
Well, day one of the tuna pasta, it's fairly plain but filling and quite tasty so that ticks the necessary boxes! Begrudgingly in Uni till 5 so need to keep myself going! Still got about 500ml of squash made up with me, so shouldnt find myself thirsty and drinkless either... not to mention the 2 squares of tesco value choccie in my bag, should i "need" chocolate! I think i have every possible base covered so today shall be ticked off as another NSD latertonight's dinner is likely to be fake bolognaise as i have a packet of the stuff (beanfeast type) in cupboard over baked tatties, the mr seems quite satisfied with that idea which is good. Might be extravagant and add some cheese on top :P
Bad thing today - have managed to wear through my jeans! GAH. (Fat thighs aren't condusive to jean longevity!) However i think new look take love2shop vouchers so i shall get myself some with those, as we have a few of thoseOn the up
Our wedding day! 13/06/150
