If only the weight loss target was as easy:( this month's been rubbish. Will have to put it down to the home baking.
Do Pure Dead Dopey's NSD aliens do liposuction????:rotfl:

Now there's a thought, peskie pixie :rotfl: mind manipulation would be good - I DO NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE.... I DO NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE .......:D

Hi everyone
Well done on meeting your targets, elfen, Chris81418, teenyweenyspender and saorsie :T:T:T:T
Purpletea65 - you can do it, only one to go
coffee-break - you will get another before the 28th, I can feel it in my bones
Keiss - hope the knitting goes well
Well I made my target today :j:j, got my 20 NSDs somehow in February and really pleased (and slightly amazed) with myself. Think I've had pure dead dopey's aliens fiddling with my brain as well as I really don't want to go anywhere near a shop at the moment - long may it last...
Can I have my :dance:, please BigMumma?

Hang on in there, everyone, two more potential NSDs in the offing, you can do it ...

Another NSD today...:j

That makes 12 for the month, so even if we don't spend tomorrow, we will be 2 days short...still not too bad, considering I include all spends other than DDs and SOs!

I have put in my online order from Mr T for Monday, the first of the month, and £137! This will mean we will have enough of everything we need for the month, other than F&V, eggs (get these from local greengrocer, much better prices and quality!), and ofcourse milk. This is limited by the size of our fridge and freezer...which will be pretty full after the delivery on Monday!

Right, off to update siggy....

How about allocating some money at the start of the month, jintyb, and classing it as a spending day? During the month you can then take money from the "pot" if you need it without it affecting your NSDs - you've already allocated the money as spent anyway. Do you think that might help?

What a brilliant idea, thank-you solventsoon, I have so many collections it seems at the minute. I know this sounds mean but they are all for retirements it seems to add to the expense:o


On the other hand have managed to achieve 10NSD:T:T:T:T:TThis was the first time I had tried this challange and dispite my anxt several days without taking my purse to work I am begining to get to grips with my spending at last.
Well done every one:)Heres hopeing that March is as good. Have become more ambitious.

Hi Everyone!

NSD 9 done and dusted :T Just tomorrow to do the same (fingers crossed) and that's my target... and I'm determined to do it. This thread is brilliant and certainly helps with the motivation. Thanks, all! :A

I know I've got to go out and spend tomorrow - DS has very little milk in the house, but I refused to go and get any today in case I thought of something else I needed tomorrow morning

Declaring Feb on 19 NSDs against my target of 11, using my grocery only way of counting (which is how I started the month).

From Monday the only spends I'm ignoring are those I class as "regular" payments on my budget spreadsheet - which means Direct Debits, vets bills, dog food, insurance premiums (which I pay annually at renewal time), petrol, presents and window cleaner.

I'll be sticking with my monthly target of 11 though, as even counting this 'harsher' way (now include toiletries, cleaning products, clothes, shoes, CDs/DVDs, magazines, bus fares, parking fees, outings/entertainment and anything for the house such as replacement electricals / pots / pans) I would have made 14 in January (instead of the 15 I declared) and 17 for February.

Am still at 15 and doubt I will get a NSD tomorrow. Oh well, you live and learn, last month i managed an extra 5 NSDs and this month i'll be short by 2/3. I always thought i thought carefully about spending but now im thinking about this even more.

I've made it!!!!!!!

We had a lazy day today that involved me staying in my PJ's until disgusting o'clock and ignoring the state of my house. Visited my mum's and then we went out for a belated valentine meal and BF paid. We normally go dutch or at least take it in turns so I guess my turn next week - I'm glad he paid but only so I could notch up my NSD's and not because I see him as a free ride.

Not going out tomorrow so that means I GOT MY NSD'S!!!!!!

Thanks to BigMummaF and everyone else on this thread. My grocery spend is well down - and it's all down to the Joy of NSD's. I still have 9 evening meals in the freezer so won't need to do a food shop (apart from fruit and milk) until the week after next! DING DONG

Well done everyone - even if you didn't make your target - it's been tough month!

I am at 10 but have not reviewed this week and missing a few of them.
Posting back tomorrow or Monday if I pass or not!!
