    Hello!!!! :hello:

    Can I join in too please? It will be my first time here so will start with just a few ... Can I try 10 NSDs and see how I go?!

    I think I'll exclude all my bills (all paid by direct debit) but will count a day as 'no spend' if I've not parted with any cash or handed over by debit card!

    Thought I'd wish you all a happy Easter now - this is what I look like when faced with any sort of chocolate, not just a chocolate bunny ...
    :EasterBun

    THANK YOU!!!!!!
    Debt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
    Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.

    I am going to declare today a NSD even though we took our son out for dinner, it's something we do on all our birthdays, it's part and parcel of birthdays in our house and we only spend £37...:j

    NSD no 2 for me. didn't leave the house apart from good friday service at church and i don't count my offering as a spend as we budget for it and it's the same every week so it's more of a bill than a spend.

    so 2/15 for me
    Goals for February
    Declutter 2/50
    Money Made £0/£200
    Overpayments £0/£200

    Please can I join too - don't get much chance to spend when I'm working tbh - apart from I pass a huge Mr T's on my way home every night and have just found out I'm 5 mins away from massive Mr A's at new job (only started Jan so not found way around town yet!)

    Reckon I should be able to do 10 without too much hassle - especially having seen the bank balance this morning:eek:
    Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
    Emergency fund £1000/£1000
    Savings for big things £9017

    Hey Spoon, all caught up now :). Can you put me down for 10 to start me off and see how I go! :beer: 3dogs, I'd have still been procrastinating otherwise and Spoon would go cross-eyed from rolling her eyes at me :D.
    Virtual party in Glasgow, you say? Now Spoon, if you'd told me that I'd have rushed over a few days ago to find out what the plans were :D.
    A bit miffed that I had to spend 20p on parking today, thus ruining a perfectly good NSD. Tomorrow is probably a write off too, need fuel and it's my friend's birthday night out. But there's always Saturday and Sunday :).
    Hi:wave:nicca - welcome to another trollzapper (we'll all be on here before long, it seems to be catching:rotfl:. Me ... roll my eyes at you procrastinating... never :rotfl:. Consider yourself enrolled now, so no backing out, fully expecting at least 10 NSDs this month:)
    Yes, virtual party in Glasgow is on the cards - we had the last one in Newcastle, celebrating katenut's hen party, but BigMumma disgraced herself with a policeman and a pair of knickers on the Tyne bridge, so we can't go back there again - and as for curlygirl and the poledancing, well I can't possibly tell anyone about that on here:rotfl:
    HIya bit late here but can you please put me down for 15 Nsd please Thank you
    Hi welshspendthrift - it's never too late to join, welcome along. :) I've enrolled you now. Good luck and look forward to following your progress.:)

    NSD no 1 for me today. had to go to the dentist with DD but left my purse at home so was not tempted to take her to the shop afterwards
    Hi starnac - good planning, leave purse at home at all opportunities, well done for the first of many:)
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)
