    Hi Solventsoon

    Great job, the aliens approve, so your set. Maybe that's what's wrong wth BigMumma, needing a wee fiddle. Anyway put me down for 12 again, me and the aliens re confident.
    Think we all need a fiddle, pure dead dopey, glad you like the new thread:)
    I'd like to join too please!
    I'm a newbie to MSE and these challenges etc so not really sure how accurate I'll be but I'm going to aim for 15 NSD.
    It might be tricky as I have a 15 wk old baby who seems to need something every day :eek:
    Looking forward to this one!

  • Yay, good work solventsoon! Please put me down for 8 again...I have been thinking that if I don't include spending on my card or cash, I will cheat. I was going to not declare petrol days (2 a week), but if I don't I would cheat, and get chocolate or sweets as well!

    We are glad to have you, and I think you will look after us brilliant...there will be no trying about it!

    Thanks solvent for the new thread.

    Since starting the NSDs challenges in January I have faired well in January due to the snow 20/15, feb was 16/18 and march looks likely to be the same. So with fear I will still pledge 18, I will reach this target someday plus even if I don't it makes me spend less and thats got to be good.

    I think it will be easier as there are more days but also the kids are off which can mean more expense!
