    Thanks Katholicos,:T got on ok at hosp - results next week! Was starving on way home as I'd had to fast prior tp endoscopy, managed to get OH to pay for chippy for me as I'd "forgotten" my purse. So another NSD, yipee!!
    I'm amazed at how I'm managing to find ways devious or otherwise to not spend!;)

    Should be another NSD day today as I cant drive due to being sedated yesterday!

    Casper - very well done on the NO SMOKING. I quit 2 and half years ago, I smoked 40 a day, so I know how hard it is - one day at a time, you WILL do it!!!!!:j:j:j

    Off to update sig, have a good 'un everyone :)

    ....buy TOTM stuff, I'd consider that an essential spend so considering counting that as a NSD if I don't buy anything else at same time. Hmmm would that be cheating? smiley-confused013.gif
    I learned pretty early on, to pick "them" up with the usual weekly shop as my body clock never matches up to a calendar :undecided Knew it would be arriving but not sure when..A fair few on here are now saying 'moon cup' is the best thing ever or even to make them from towelling or fleece, so perhaps have a little look around for more info? I keep meaning to investigate but--as usual--haven't got there yet :o

    I can't help thinking Treacly that you obviously have to get into work, so how about discounting travel expenses for this Challenge? Perhaps any money you save on fares when get a lift, you could put into a jar & save them for something like crimbo, tv licence, holiday spends--something specific anyhooz, so it doesn't get left in your pocket to be
    whittled away 'bits'.
    Well Done on getting into the lower bracket Casper, you must be so chuffed :T
    Hope all hospital, doctor & other medical appts are successful & Congrats to those giving up the evil weed :p

    Hey everyone! :hello:

    Well, I'm pleased to declare another NSD today!! However, this is mainly due to the bucketloads of snow we had yesterday and I can't be bothered to leave the warmth of the house! :snow_laug

    Sounds like everyone's doing really well :T:T:T:T and we've still got a whole half a month left!

    NSD for me please! Had to buy a drink but it was part of my lunch so I'm allowing it as my bottle broke and flooded my bag yesterday.

    Okay quick question, if you spend money but get it reimbursed is it an NSD. I'll explain, whenver I go to Mum and Dad's they pay my train fare back so does this count? Thanks. Only on a paltry 2 this month and on hols next week so don't think that will help!

    Well done chaps - I've managed another one today too, woo-hoo.

    BigMumma - I know what you mean re. travelling expenses, but some days I have a hire car for work (no spend) so with that and the lifts it is just about achievable - and this way I get tons more exercise too as I walk from the city centre out to the Park & Ride car park to meet my lift, and save £2 bus fare. Fact is, I'm getting a bit obsessed...

    Two spend days in prospect this weekend, then back in harness on Monday, phew!
