31 days in the month
Looks like probably 6 days with D/Debits going out of the bank - reduced potential for NSDs to 25
Next Saturday is birthday treat day for GD1, so will be spending (place we're going to is free entry, but if the girls want to use the soft play area - which I reckon is a 100% certaintity - then I'll have to pay for that) - reduced potential for NSDs now 24
Spread of D/Debits means I'll likely need an additional 2 days for grocery shopping - reduced potential for NSDs now 22
Need to go into town one day this next week to get to a government office (paperwork to sort out), so either bus fare or parking to pay (can't do it on a D/Debit day as the only one is tomorrow and I'm in work 7am-5pm) - reduced potential for NSDs now 21
OH as 'threatened' me with a day out to Southport (local, but while the golf from there was on TV today I had to admit to never having been), so can see me spending then - reduced potential for NSDs down to 20

As I'm not 100% sure when at least one of the D/Debits will go out yet (T@lk T@lk are late generating my July bill, normally appears on 28th/29th of month), I'm going to play it safe and hold back a few days for mis-calculations (and in case I need petrol next weekend, as I'm not going out in the car just to fill the tank tomorrow)

So I'm setting my initial target to 17 please Spoon

ETA: Today was NSD #1 :T Not many months I start with an NSD, but D/Debits get delayed when 1st is a weekend

Hi all and hi to your wonderful spooness Spoon.

Please can you put me down for a starting target of 10 this month.

Sadly I have started today with a spend day, owing to car fuel & tixy fuel at the motorway services and also money for the toll crossing. So my NSD month can only get better from here.

Please can you put me down for 5 NSD this month.

Hi ladies,
Yes, I'm sure we can make a weekday outing. Next one is on Saturday, don't think BDINI is around much for us to invade her back passage during the week:D, but will make the next one a mid-week one. Where would you like to go, we can definitely get that sorted out - hope that's OK?

Next Saturday should actually be fine for me - OH is busy all Saturday/Sunday with his darned hockey, so I'm only seeing him Friday night. Just not sure what time I'll be home from taking DD & GDs out for the day, so I'm hoping you hang around lte enough for me to come and join you

Hey Spoon,

I have a wee outing request for the weekend 14th August.....I am going to be at the hot air balloon festival down in Bristol...d'ya think you could swing the Tardis down that way and you can all visit me??? You might have to do some balloon dodging, but I have confidence in your ducking and diving ability

I'll have a supply of milk stout at the ready....prob no Prince Harry though (I heard he was a bit under the weather today....;))
