    I've managed 20 NSD's in March with 1 day still to go which I'm hoping will also be NSD. I'm going to up the anti for April to 22. Goodluck everyone, I find this thread brilliant for keeping me focused and at least thinking about what and when I spend, if not stopping from spending entirely.
    Hi Baileys Babe - good to have you on board:). Good luck for April, look forward to seeing your updates:)

    Hi solventsoon - I smashed my March target of 10 NSDs by one whole day, so working on the 'softlee softlee catchee monkee' principle, I'm using that as my April target - please put me down for a glorious 11 NSDs. Thanks!
    Hi Treacly - well done for March and good luck for April.:) All signed up now, welcome on board again:)
    Hiyaaa count me in again for April, I'm sticking with 18 please as it was a tight squeeze this month and I want to see if I can smash target next month. :DFab job you are doing with new thread solventsoon :kiss:
    Hi coffeeholic - welcome to April:). You'll smash your target this month, I can feel it in my bones:). And thanks:o
    Thanks for the new thread :T
    Could you put me down for 8 this month please? I'm counting everything, including things I've budgetted for, but have quite a lot on (birthdays, people staying over etc) so it may be a bit more difficult than last month.
    All best wishes everyone! :A
    Hi Justicenpeace - welcome to April:). Sounds as though you have a similar sort of April to me - birthdays:mad:...... We'll get there though:)

    I know i'm encouraging you to have a NSD, but just a reminder for those that guzzle large quantities of petrol that it goes up at midnight. According to MSE though it's better to have half a tank rather than a full tank as you go through more fuel pulling round the extra weight of a full tank.

    Enjoy your Wednesday!
