    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!
  • 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 :confused:

    I plan to start taking lunch in and stop taking my purse into work and then I can't spend anything
    Total 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
    1 debt in 100 days £2886/£3839

    ohh I'm gonna have a go please. put me down for 150 but I am going to split this into 100 NSDs and 50 "only bread and milk" days if thats ok so not a complete no spend but with small baby and lazy hubby i am the only one who buys it and i normally get told we need it on my way home from work (when DH has been in all day).
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    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! :D

    Good luck everyone x

    I always struggle with NSDs......and it comes under the "must try harder" heading for me :o

    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!

    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!)
