Havent spent anything for the last two days so this month I have exceeded my target (blame the weather).

Another NSD today! Don't remember what my total is so far. Am keeping my fingers crossed for one more this month.

Not posted an update on here since Sunday.......

I'm officially only counting days I don't buy groceries as NSDs, but am also monitoring total NSDs using 4 categories - regular payments (which is mainly, but not exclusively, DDs), groceries, toiletries/cleaning, and 'others' (which covers everything that comes out of my 'living Frugally budget that doesn't fall into a specific category within the previous groups)

Monday saw a vets bill (which comes under 'regular') - so I allowed myself to pick up some groceries (as I'd already bettered my NSD target).

Tuesday was a total NSD, so number 13 for this challenge (and unofficially number 9 for total NSDs)

Wednesday saw a couple of payments go out of my bank (regulars), so I went on a Whoopsie hunt in the evening (very productive).

Today had the last couple of DDs come out of my bank for the month, but I didn't spend anything else at all. So NSD 14 for this challenge.

3 more days left in the month, and I just might be able to make all 3 of them total NSDs. I've no more regular payments to make (had one due tomorrow, but I paid it early yesterday as I already had regular payments go out), don't need and toiletries/cleaning, can resist anything under 'other' and really don't need any groceries. Sunday is going to be a tough one to avoid a grocery spend though, as I'll be in work as all the reductions are getting done :eek:

Spent over £500 today, errrr, so that's a big fat miss:eek::eek::eek:

Am actually still a little in shock, and shaking slightly - was all well budgeted, however, doesn't feel good anymore.

Night all x

If I can manage to not spend for the next 3 days, then I will have achieved my target. Just. I have no spending planned right now, so I'm optimistic about it

Had a spend day today, the first one this week.

Anyone know where next months thread is? Sorry if this has been answered already, have not kept up to date with the thread.

Skaps - Feb's thread is here, see you over there!

Not sure if I am going to make it to my total of 15 NSD this month, but hoping that can get the last 2 in the next three days, if not all three!

Go Keiss, you can do it :j:j

Managed another NSD today (only by avoiding the window cleaner when he came along wanting payment - I was working at the time, though), so have made my increased target of 25 :j:j (staggered that I managed that).

Lots more targets being met today - well done Webitha and others :j:j. Three more days left - we can do it!!!

Hugs to anyone needing one.
