    Sorry another month when I haven't kept up with this thread. However I've managed another 3 NSDs so far this month, taking me to....(quickly checks on page 1)...... 10/10 yay, made my target this month.

    Still got some spending to do before christmas plus things like work do so I'll just go for an extra 2 I think. Spoon can you up my target to 12 please.

    wee bit of excitement on the MS front for me tonight - I have just paid my cc bill (the final debt I have to clear) and once this payment goes through my balance will be under £2k :j Still a way to go to zero I know but I feel that there is a light at the end of the tunnel at last.

  • Hi all, would like to join if it possible :wave:

    Was hoping to save money today but spent it on chocolate, scoffed the lot and now feel a little sick... grrr :(. Aiming for 5 NSD until the end of the month. My aim is to clear all debts within 12 months (hence the name :) )and that won't happen if i keeping spending my money needlessly. On the up-side i collected a massive 15p which has gone into a sealed pot :rotfl:.

    Stay warm and :xmassign: :beer:.

  • I've lost count of my NSDs! I think I've got them all accounted for once I've counted these next 3...

    Sunday was NSD #10, went to the library and the best thing about the library is everything screams "borrow me!" instead of "buy me!"

    Yesterday (Monday) was NSD #11, I took extra food with me for lunch so I didn't feel the need to buy the caramel waffles that I bought every single day last week at 95p a time!

    Today (Tuesday) is NSD #12, I wa sstaring in the morning and then by midday an amazing amount of free food appeared! So I was full up by lunchtime :)
    Thank you competition posters!

  • *rushes in* Evening all! Sorry haven't been around in a while! Haven't had a NSD until today!!! Taking me to no 5!!! :D

    Has been a crazy couple of weeks! And loads of snow last week which is showing no signs of melting and making my journey to work very nerve wracking!!!

    I did have a spend today as I parked in the work car park but due to the weather I am allowing this and I had put the money aside for the weeks parking on Sunday!

    Hope everyone is well, I'll try and catch up on some posts at some point!! Night all x
