Another new day to add to July: The No Spend Day
Comments

Hello NSDErs
I'm thinking of other challenges to join, not too demanding time-wise where I can earn back all my unplanned spends. Any recommendations NSDers?
I know there's a lot here but I prefer something I can do online, in my spare time at work or at home. Thank you.
Have a look at Eagerlearner's thread for doing the daily clicks - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2132075
I've been 'clicking' since 1st March and I've already got (checks sig) £115.61 in my bank account from doing this. Takes a little time and patience to start with but after about three months the money does start to dribble in. I try to do them every day and the thread gives you advice on new clicks added, best sites to use/who to avoid.
Or you've got the 'Make £10 a day thread' (don't know why but I couldn't post link). 3dogs is extremely good at this through her Eb4y exploits (I hate Eb4y!) but there are other tips on how to make money online without too much effort.
As mentioned yesterday today was definitely a spendy day for me. Food, shoes for all three childrenand various bits and pieces. But did sort out DHs ISA so we can now put money into it to pay for holiday next year (we're going to DisneyLand:T:T:T).
Got some of the stuff I need for mother&toddler group. We're having a pirate & princess party on Monday as it's the last one before summer, still got to get something for them to take home but will get money back so fingers crossed it will be an NSD tomorrow.
Although.....kids want their proper 'Sunday dinner' tomorrow so may have to get a chicken. :think: May get DH to get that........
Got corrected tax credits award this morning and the three amounts given to me this week are all present and correct so will be transferring that to savings as it's money I didn't expect to get and it will go towards holiday spending money (did I say I was going to Disneyland :T:T:T!)
Happy holidays to all those who are going away (I'm going to Disneyland next year :T:T:T). I like fudge too, the vanilla one please. We have a rock/fudge factory in Yarmouth......Nom Nom......it's great!
Sorry for long post, got a bit of verbal diarrhea today..........Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

Hi all NSD folks :hello:
Hope everyone is okay :grouphug:
Well finished work and have not been via any shops so am clocking in with number 12 :j
Unfortunately they should be getting easier now as payday is looming so I am almost skint :rotfl:Will have to up my total I think because that gap between 25th (23rd this month) is often dangerous, mind you I think I managed better than I ever have at the end of June so will just have to keep on being organised and leaving money at home
Is Spoon okay? Not usual for her not to be around or has she gone away and I've missed it? :question:

Hi Kathy
I'm OK, thanks for asking:):):). Had a really busy couple of days work-wise and not had the time to get on here:(:(:(
Back now though and about to do a mega-update from the last couple of days - lots of NSDs and a target or two by the looks of it:)

Hi lovely NSD gang :A
Apologies for absence Friday and most of today - been working and no time to pay you all a visit.:o Very quick round up from the last couple of days, will catch up with you all properly tomorrow (Sunday)
Lots more NSDs rolling in today and 2 more targets being smashed:j
Targets met today:
cw18: :j yay... well done, 11 NSDs and a dancing kitty are now yours - like the whoopsie-resisting techniques..:j
Increasing your target to 19 now, aiming for Johnny Depp (and who wouldn’t, to be honest!!)
beanielou: :j yay... well done for 10 NSDs, the dancing kitty is now yours, you can take her on holiday with you:j...
Hope you get another one before your hols
