Please add me in for 150 NSDs in 2010. I'm not including Direct Debits.

Thanks B

I don't include Direct debits, and I don't include petrol - I used to, but we only have one car between us, and every week a different amount of petrol is used depending on how much running about for work we have to do - it got too complicated trying to distinguish work expenses and home expenses as far as petrol was concerned, so I no longer stress over it.

Personally, I also don't include things that come under the heading of "safety"......ie, if I discover a tyre is illegal on my car, or my brakes are a bit sticky, and I have an unavoidable journey to make, I would get the necessary bit replaced, without worrying about it spoiling a NSD - it is a safety issue, and therefore truly unavoidable, and I would not want to get so caught up in having a NSD that I was tempted to put it off for just one day......I don't think I would think that way, but just in case, I give it a special dispensation!

But they are just my own boundaries - everyone has their own way of doing things! As long as it is still a real challenge that is the main thing!!

Well today is 4 out of 5, not going anywhere. Not normally one to moan about snow or not drive because of it, just uses alot more fuel and battery etc and i have no reason to go anywhere so makes sense staying at home.

looie

Can I join too please ?? I think I could manage 150 NSDs in 2010. I've had 2 so far.

I'd like to sign up too please!

I've just become fully self employed and the temtation on days when I'm "out on the road" to stop for a coffee etc will be great. Need to be disciplined and take flask and lunch with me. Also, its too easy to just nip into Mr T during school run.

1/150 so far.

Yesterday was NSD #2 :j I think I'm going to have to buy milk and bread today though so that won't be a NSD. Unless I can trick Mr Fresian into buying them....:rotfl:

Hi can i join up for 120 NSDs please? More achievable for me than 150 i think! Today will be 4th NSD so far, not going anywhere cos i hate the snow!

argggg so far this week (was aiming for 3 of 4 NSD's while at work) I forgot my dinner yesterday so had to buy something. luckily I found a really horrible cup-a-soup in my emergency ration box at work so just got a baguette to eat with it (50p) then cause of the snow i had to get a bottle of drink (£1.14) to keep in my bag incase i got stuck somewhere on way home.

Today......... hubby has sent me to get the milk after work (counting as 1 of my 50 "milk and bread days") as too heavy snow on our road to take DS out in buggy.

GRRRRR.

HMM now if i can get the childminder to let me pay her 4 weeks in advance every month this year I can successfully create myself 3 NSD's a month!! Except childminder day is also chippy shop day at work so boooooooooooooooooooooooo still spending.
