Madness, "May"hem & MoneySaving: Welcome to the NSD Challenge

Tixy

Hi all

NSD for me yesterday (although my dog incurred vets fees of over £95 I haven't actually paid these yet) so number 8 please Spoon.
Already filled the tank this morning so no chance of a NSD today (though the plan is still not to spend anything else at least)

I hit NSD 8 today hopefully I can make it to the end of the month by hitting at least 12 if lucky 14 lol

we are moving into BF's so DD bedroom there needs doing up to her liking - think the credit card will be out for that one - but we have saved for it so dont mind :-) just wish could get her motivated to look for wallpaper and paint so BF can start on it
then trip to ikea

Hi lovely NSD-ers

Sorry I didn't get on here to do my usual roundup last night... an unexpected night out went on a bit longer than scheduled. If I had done my round up when I got back:
a) it wouldn't have made sense
b) there would probably be pink elephants all over the front page:o:o

Anyway, back to normal now, so will do the update tonight, if that's OK with everyone.

I can see that thrifty fifty has made her target - no 2 - brilliant - proper mention coming along later (and your pink elephant, of course!)

And we have a new joiner. Welcome along Herbaholic (Herby) - as you have already seen we are slightly insane, but very friendly, and very pleased to have you on board. As you've already had a tremendous 3 NSDs this week, I'll count those in for your and sign you up for 6 this evening. What a lovely DH offering you that [STRIKE]bribe[/STRIKE] - ooops - incentive:j. Have a lovely evening - DH deserves a treat after all the work he's done.

Back later - be good everyone and enjoy the lovely weather:D:D:D

I got one on Tuesday so up to 7 now

Well, I have failed miserably over the past 3 days. (Oops, I said the F word!)
We ran out of cheese Monday night, and I could not leave my 2 blokes (big un and little un) without cheese in the house so I left some money out for OH to get some on Tuesday. Then Wednesday I had to get some motion lotion, because without it I would not be able to go to work and earn a living. Today, my first day off this week, it was stock up on food day. I should get some fresh rolls tomorrow for packed lunches, but if I delay it till Saturday (when I always spend money anyway) I could claim another NSD...crafty mare that I am! Then Sunday should by rights see me hitting my target......we shall see.....

Spend day for me today

Pizza, ice-cream and milk for DS (the first two being a bribe/compensation for him staying 'home alone' with the dog over the weekend), plus frozen veg (remembered I was running desperately short, so picked up while I was already spending ) and some freshly cooked scones (at a seriously reduced price, 'cos there were only 3 in the pack instead of the 4 there were meant to be )

Realised as I was making tea that I forgot to pick up a loaf of bread though, and really don't want to go back out tonight. There's enough left for my toast tomorrow morning - but that'll be it, with none for DS over the weekend. But he rarely eats toast or sandwiches, so there's a pretty good chance that if I buy some today (or even tomorrow and ruin what could be an NSD) it won't even get opened until my breakfast on Tuesday - and I have bread in the freezer (of a type he won't eat) that I can pull out for then if I don't end up bringing any home with me from my weekend away.

As such I think I'm going to leave DS a few quid in case he needs anything, but I'm taking it out of my purse today...... and if I manage an NSD while I'm away I won't count any shopping he gets against it

(Is thinking that might be stretching the rules, but have seen the suggestion made that people put money to one side on a spend day ready for kids activities/work collections - so perhaps it's a stretch I can get away with !?!?!?)

Managed 9 of my planned 10 NSD's, today. Hopefully i will notch up more than my target 10! Hopefully it will help make up for how badly i have done during other months!

Also, just to say, never understimate the effect of this thread on peoples spending habits. It is helping me so very much. So a big thank you to the OP!
