Could not find such a thread anywhere.

I will try and go 150 days without spending anything in 2010.

This will stop me and OH going to the supermarket 6 times a week and buying chocolate at the work's shop etc.

Apologies if this sort of this is posted elsewhere

  • As this isn;t strictley Old Style, I'll move it to the DFW forum where other no-spend threads are :D

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

    I'll join you! I'm aiming for 20NSD this month but will have to ease back slightly some months when I am on holiday etc so a total of 180 NSD for the year seems a good aim!

    Oooo I like this idea. I am too much in the habit of buying snacks on the way to college/work! So anything I save will go nicely towards my University savings :)

    I'll aim for 150 days over the year starting with 20 in January as I am a bit skint until next payday anyways :)
    :eek: How did I let it get such a mess? :eek:
