    7 out of 12 for me so far as counting today as a NSD (even got a Twix bought for me, ha)! Never going to make the 12 but might get another 1 by Sunday, fingers crossed.

    Another NSD for me today taking me to 16, I'm soooo close to my target now.

    Today is payday and I actually had money left over in my account for the first month in god knows how long! And I am sure part of it is down to me doing this NSD and grocery challenge and actually thinking before I spend. Plus having no council tax to pay this month has eased the burden a great deal! ;)

    Well done all hitting or exceeding their targets. :T

    And a big final pushhhhhh to the rest of us who are so close we can taste it!     :)
    All the coffee in Columbia won't make me a morning person... :D:p

    Hey Justicenpeace!! How are ya? Nice to see you back :)

    Luck? - I flippling need a miracle to meet my target

    Hey curlygirl!

    Thank you for asking about me. :) I'm fine thanks (dog tired with work, but hey ho!) Nice to have some time to browse through the replies on this thread, and I particularly look out for yours! :A

    Fri, Sat and Sun left to get the three I need to meet my target. I haven't had a NSD since I last posted. It's been a particularly difficult month 'foraging' for NSDs this time around, for some reason. Anyway, am determined to reach it! :D

    I get paid tomorrow, so not dipping into wages will be a toughie, but I'll feel proper pleased if I get through that one. Then, the remaining two days should be a doddle! :D;):rotfl:

    All best wishes everyone for the remaining days.
