  • Please can i join

    I would like to aim for 8 NSD to start with.

    I am not going to include days i pay utility bills, rent etc...just grocery items and luxuries and the like.

    Every thursday my daughter goes to ballet which i pay £4 on the spot. So i think if i set aside the £16 in an envelope at the beginning of the month then i can think of thursdays still as no spend days :D

    This may be trickier than i think!!

  • Thanks for the new thread BigMummaF. :A I love this challenge! :T

    Could you put me down for 10 again please?


    Not an easy month, and already through the first quarter! Where did that go, eh? :eek: This thread soooo helps me to keep a good check on when I spend and on what, and do I really need to...

    Best wishes all!
  • Hello.

    Please can you put me down for a lower target of 15 for March.... ive got my sis coming out to visit for couple of weeks, so wont be so easy to keep on the spending straight & narrow.

    Good luck everyone for March :)
  • Good morning everyone!

    Big Mumma - please can I have a :starmod: for renewing my pledge of 19 NSDs. I'm on course with 16/19 so far in February, so I fingers crossed that March will be just as successful - thanks as ever for keeping this thread going and for keeping my spending in check!

    Good luck for March everyone!

  • Hi
    Can you up mine to 20 NSD for March (even although I will have failed miserably for Feb). I plan to hibernate for the next few months as I have college fees, debt to pay off and holiday to pay - so hopefully this will keep me on the straight and narrow.
    Thanks for running the challenge as it certainly makes me think about what I am spending.
    Good luck to everyone

    Good morning Big Mumma! Thanks for all your hard work on the thread - much appreciated!
    Can you please put me in for 10 this month - started mast month with 5 which I achieved so I'm going to challenge myself this month! And it WILL be a challenge with 3 birthdays, Mothers Day x2 and car to be MOT'd and taxed. March is always a killer month for us as regards spends! :mad: Just have to buckle down and get on with it!:cool:


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    I hate the time between December & April. There's always the gas & lekkie bills mid December & then of course :xmassign: then it's nothing but renewing annual bills till after :icotbaske

    I would soooo love to take the credit for helping you with your finances Chris81 but the truth is, it is entirely of your own doing :T I'm pleased you are enjoying the Challenge & in all honesty, I just post a few bits that I've found useful or
    hopefully make folk smile :D

    I had some of my veggie pasta last night with some ghastly fish portions that no-one likes & couldn't stop grinning cuz it reminded me of CurlyGirl..the pasta, not the fish :eek: I'm trying to make room in the freezer for things the two remaining Offspring will cook whilst I'm away, so hopefully the grocery spends will be a bit lower for a couple of weeks while saving the spend days too.

  • Ill go for 20 again this month please BigMummaF, thanks again for running the thread :A
