  • Hi. Thought I'd managed an NSD the other day. Even in the evening, I was hungry so I thought I'd buy some crisps, then resisted as that would ruin a perfectly good NSD. Then, in bed that night I remembered that I'd spent £39 on a dress! Oops!

    Yesterday was definitely a NSD though and I'm hoping this will be one too. Bigmumma, please put me down for 8 NSDs so far for Jan, 2 to go! Also, I'd like to sign up for Feb please, I'll try 12 even though it's a shorter month. Thank you!

  • I've been absolutely rubbish with this challenge - I'm struggling with what's a spend and what's not. Will try harder though in Feb.

    I recognise that battle only too well Alli :o it's playing havoc with my Grocery Challenge in particular, as I keep changing my mind whether things like batteries & a new tin opener should be included :pAll this frugalling is flippin 'ard werk innit sport-smiley-018.gif

    i need help guys... i really would like a glass of vino today (after the day ive had)
    but that would mean a spend, and if i dont buy it, i will reach my 17 nsds, and i have never been able to do it, even though its been my target for the last 5/6 months.:eek:
    aaarrrgggghhhhhh, buy it tomorrow aaaarrrrgggghhhhh :rotfl::rotfl:

    and as regards the NSD, i count anything i spend that includes groceries, so the NSD i have had, means i actuall have not spent a single penny
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    Hold strong Webitha - You'll enjoy that drink all the more tomorrow to celebrate finally meeting your target! :T :beer:

    I've completely lost count of my NSD's... I think I'm on 8 out of 10 (if today manages to be a NSD) but I'm not 100% sure! :eek: I'm hoping that it is still possible to meet my target of 10... but I can't check until Saturday either so today HAS to be a NSD just in case... :rotfl: Tomorrow will definitely be a spend day as I have a leaving do to go to! Please, please can I make it... it would be a 1st time for me too in months of trying! :p

    I count any spend (other than direct debits / Standing orders) for this challenge. :eek: (Usually its grocery spends that sabotage my NSDs - I pass way to many shops on my way home when hungry :o)

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time
