Did manage to buy a ped, so will start tomorrow!

Sealed Pot Target: Today = £0:Week = £0/£11.90:Year = £0/£500

MY NSD rules
What DOESN'T count in terms of NSD for me as it's more MSE to spend the money than not too:
- ebay postage / packaging (as long as it's covered by sale cost)
- any whoopsie item under 5p
- any bills that HAVE to be paid (incl. window cleaner etc.)
- 1 grocery shopping per week is allowed as this is the family shop, and it fits into budget. If it's over budget it counts as a spend.
- 1 petrol fill-up per week is allowed as this is for work as long as it fits into above budget.

My NSD's = my rules. By implementing them this way, it will encourage me to stick to them much more rigidly. However, in doing so, I need to increase my challenge target!

I've just joined the sealed pot challenge, and have to save £11.90 per week to meet my Christmas target. Off to update front page and here!
