Hi,
I'll join this too please. I will aim for 150 days in 2010. Have done 2 already. :beer:0 -
I am only going for 100. With a large family, you are forever running out of milk/bread etc and popping off to the shops so any more than 100 is unrealistic for a total no spend day!0

Can I join too?
I'll go for 150 days - today will be my 3rd this year
My biggest problem is I work across the road from M and S and usually pop in there on my way home to pick up the yellow label (discounted)stuff
I now have a freezer with loads of yellow label stuff which I wouldn't normally buy
I plan to start taking lunch in and stop taking my purse into work and then I can't spend anythingTotal debt at 01/01/2010 £34,262 (Excludes mega mortgage) Daily interest £12.42
02/10 Now £3.12 due to repayments, BT and :money:
Olympic challenge £5081/£28,000 (18.15%)
Aim to lose 35 lbs from 01/01/2010 to 30/06/10 9.5/35

LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:0

Hi Everyone!
Can I join in too please? :wave:
I was always buying my lunch on the way to work last year(thats if I even got up early enough to go before work) Failing that it was juice and sweets out the machine to keep me going 'till hometime. Oh and then there was the obliguatory trip round Mr T's on the way home - oooh DVD's reduced....
Back to work tomorrow so this is definately the challenge I need to get me more organised and curb the impulse buying!
Going to go for 150 NSD this year - got 3 so far!
Good luck everyone xLBM Dec 09 - £27,227Debt Free by Xmas 2013 - #109 - £726.54/£10865 (6.68%)0 -
I always struggle with NSDs......and it comes under the "must try harder" heading for me

So why I would want to join such a challenge is beyond me.....but what the heck. I will capitalise on the 3 NSDs I have had so far in January and see if it spurs me on to achieve a further 147 of them!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

Great to see so many of use joining in!
I'm up to my 4th NSD2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
I'd like to take part too please. 120 NSDs in 2010.
What is everyone doing about days when Direct Debits come out of your bank account? are you going to count them as spend days?
(Have to make sure I do my shopping those days!)
G>C0 -
Me too! Me too!
Put me in for 150 days please xx
(I never have any money left after 9th of the month, so this one's gonna be simple, no money = NSD
) Oh for Goodness' Sake!! Here we go again
Total debt £4,839.51 (Still adding it up though
)
Now : £4, 759.810
