  • Yesterday was a nsd and I even resisted the urge to order pizza which is good going for me :D Today is a nsd so far but I'm not gonna declare it yet as bf may convince me to get kfc when he gets home. The contents of the cupboards/freezer don't look quite as appetising...

  • OK Its now official, I have been abducted by aliens, been fiddled with and returned because I have just completed my tenth NSD this month, this can be the only explanation!! I will have to return my degrees in frittering and wasting money, also my Masters in mis-management of money on a constant basis .... well need to finish the DMP first but its definitely a start, thanks all for the motivation and encouragement.

    Number 10 for me today!! Was so tempted to nip to the shop this afternoon for a bottle of wine to have with tea, but the desire for a NSD was greater!! Somehow need 5 more days out of the next 7, might be a struggle but I'm sure I can do it :)
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
