    Can i please up my number to 13?

    Although my new flat has just completed so ill need to buy things to decorate and carpet etc so i think until i sort the flat out i will only count the non essentials, otherwise ill have no hope as im always in DIY shops now :rotfl:

    A spend is whatever you want it to be; some folk don't count the children's club subs or dinner money while others count absolutely everything :eek: Me--personally--I count every time I open my purse to remove cash or card, unless it's for the dreaded lekkie/ gas/council tax bills :mad: So my advice is to have a good think, decide what you want the rules to be..then try to live by them :p

    Hello there

    I joined in January but you still need to add me to the list. It was harder doing this than i thought - need to break the habit of not spending little ammounts each day.

    Can you put me down for 6 NSD's this month

    Best Wishes All

  • Morning dears.

    Finally reached my jan target today, so going have to be more organised to complete febs, but determined to do it, so just need to be more organised!

    My NSD's will count as everything, apart from utility bills as these get paid through the busniess!

    I've also joined the use it or lose it challenge, so will be putting lots on ebay, taking stuff charity shops and having major clean out/up this month. Did Kitchen yesterday, it looks fab!

    Also attempting to join santa's challenge, but if i aim to do everything else not going to have to read all that so will just be reading on 24ths and 1st's of months to see what challenge is!

    Also feb is my month of the year for no alcohol! So back to the use it or lose it thread, might lose a few lbs too, how that would be nice.

    Enough waffling now, catch up with you all later, off to make breakfast for boys, daughter still in bed, had sleep over last night so won't see them till midday earliest!!

    Hi Guys!

    Been out of the loop for a while but February is my "get back on track" month so I'm back in for 20 NSD's please BigMumma! Will be excluding my PAD's from this though, I just want to resist the lure of Mr T, Mr A and Mr M!!

    Good luck everyone :j
