    I am declaring today a NSD even though I had to buy drinks and food from a garage today. We live in Luton but our son goes to school in Hitchin and because of the snow the police closed the road from Hitchin to Luton so I was stranded ALL day. The school is miles away from the town centre so I had to spend the day in my car relying on a very expensive BP garage for food an drink.....grrr!

  • An unexpected nsd for me today. I might just do it before Friday which is the end of my month.

    Hi, just popping in to declare my 15 NSDs target achieved :)

    Now off to hunt for March & renew ..
  • Hi All,

    Not been on for a bit; been sooo busy with work. Hope everyone is well and getting on ok this month. February, for me, has been a bit of a struggle, so I'm very pleased to declare NSD number 7, and I'm a little bit more confident that I'll meet my target. We'll see; fingers crossed.

    Good luck for the rest of the month everyone!
  • Today has been NSD number 8 for me today. This time last week I was pretty hopeful of meeting my target, but now I have 6 days left of the month and 4 NSDs to go, which I think will be a struggle. I should manage one tomorrow, and I'll try for Wednesday and Friday (although I think it's unlikely - maybe one of them). Thursday and Saturday I'll definitely have to spend; Sunday I will see.
