  • I managed 15 in February but only 5 in March and need a kick up the bum so please put me down for 15 in April.
  • Hello, 'Big wave' not sure how to insert smilies etc

    Last did tNSD challenge in October! So going to start afresh, please can I pledge 15 NSD's for April. Will help keep me on track, along with the spending diary and make me plan my shopping and meals better so no nipping to the corner shop! Well that's the plan anyway!

    And I must figure out how to put in my signature too.

    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 all, I nearly made it this month! I am so chuffed as I normally only manage a couple each month but I have been super organised :D

    Please put me down for 15 again for April :money::j

    Thanking you!
  • Oooohh my first post, I've finally taken the leap into knowing I am in debt and having my LBM!!

    Count me in for 10 NSD in April. I'm already over my budget for April but I know my faults and am working on it slow and steady will win the race!!

    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!

    Dot, you could always choose not to count spends on petrol, but to count any additional spends.

    I have done one NSD yesterday so gonig good so far! Today would have been one if it wasn't for bliming ebay postage!!! :cool:

    As the buyer pays for the postage, I would feel that this does not count as a spend, iyswim.

    Hi everyone,

    Just checking in to say i'm here this month, going to try again for
    20 this month.
    Thanks solvent for looking after the thread!
    Good luck one and all!
  • Hey kittycat sounds like you are in the same position as me. I reckon knowing our faults is half the battle - the other half is to stop spending!!!

    Best of luck with your NSD's. My first attempt so fingers crossed. :)

    Hi, please put me down for 22. I managed 20 NSD (secretly) for March so feel I should try to up it a little bit and with all the support from this group I feel positive that I can do it. Thanks.
