    I did a bit rubbish this month. In the end I managed 2. But can I keep it at 5 and have another go at being a bit more focused.

    Hi Gang,

    after the April fiasco, in May we managed 12 NSD with a target of 10 (NSDs are counted only when neither of us has spent anything). For June we'll aim for 15 - let see whether May was a fluke or the begining of good practice.

    Hi everyone! :wave:

    I'm going to challenge myself on my first month of joining this challenge with 12 NSDs. I think I managed about 8 last month (though I wasn't recording it) so I reckon with my full efforts this month it can be higher :j I've also explained the concept to hubby and he's going to aim for 8 (although he's much better with his finances than me anyway!) Good luck everybody!

    Frugally

    Jo :)

    Hi Spoon, can i join this please?... although to be honest, for my first one, can i be a real scaredy cat and just put down 5??? I realize this isnt a lot and some people may be thinking that its a waste of time, believe me, it is maybe more realistic a goal than saying 15 or 20!, i really am a shopaholic but trying to get a hold on my spending.

    Be gentle with me please!.
