  • Hello everyone

    Been busy spending all weekend so no NSDs for me to report. Off out shortly to buy b'day and winterval pressies for my goddaughter so won't be one today either. I need to think about half term - we're off for a few days but will have a separate budget for that. Do they count as NSDs or not? I know I can set my own rules, but it seems like cheating if I allocate the money at the start of the week and then spend some every day. On the other hand, I will have no chance with the challenge if I don't count them! Perhaps I can compromise - meals out do not count as "spending" but incidental purchases along the way do. That way I may be able to limit the extra money that seeps out of my purse on a daily basis.

    Hope everyone is OK - I can't keep up with all the comings and goings over the weekend, even though I am at home today feeling a bit poorly. I might read up on some of your news later.

    Best wishes to all

  • Hi everyone, no NSD for today as will be digging in purse later tonight to fork out for yoga class.

    I'm thinking next month as I probably wouldn't be spending on a Monday if it wasn't for that...that I might draw out enough cash to pay for the classes up front for whole month, then won't be sacrificing NSDs for that. Or is that cheating? :rotfl: I'm getting desperate! :D

    Hope you all have a good evening......laters (is this our new thing? I never say that in real life, my brother says it all the time though :p)
  • Hi all

    Well I can safely say it is my no. 12 NSD today as I haven't needed to venture out the house and I am hoping the next two days will be NSD too :T

    Hope every is having a good day.

    Hiya Spoonie,

    Finally manged NSD No 7 today, i foolishly thought this would be easy, but it turning out to be alot harder than i thought. Car broke down :mad: last week so I had to spend on 2 unplanned NSD days for that and I sort of gave up :o.

    Greatly encouraged by all here i'm back on track now! The next lot of DD's go out on Thurs so am trying to hold on until then.

    I believe the correct term is
