  • Today was not a NSD, I bought my diary for next year for £5. I would've shopped around a bit more for it but I was aware that I'd left it a bit late and I couldn't imagine not having it in time for January 1st!
    Thank you competition posters!
  • Hello All, really love the idea of this thread

    I know its really late in the month to join, but would really love to take part. I have been watching the coverage of all the shoppers out and about, and am secretly jealous, would love to get out there and spend,:mad: so this challenge is vital to survive the end of the month without giving in to the temptation of non essential spending.
    So 4 NSDs for me please.

    Am looking forward to the January challenge, can I just ask do you count all NSDs or consecutive NSDs only?

    The more the merrier! It's a count of all NSDs throughout the month, some people count how many they're had consecutively and sometimes set a target for how many they will have consecutively but it's not something I attempt to do personally :)
    Thank you competition posters!

    :hello:Hi 30andfabulous and welcome to the insanity that is the NSD challenge. It's never to late to join up, you're very welcome for the rest of the month and for January as well.

    I'll add you to the front page when I do the update, will be tomorrow now, but you're part of the gang now so feel free to post away, lots of advice, supports, laughs, giggles and kicks up the bum available here:D

    PS: I hope your question about NSDs has been answered above by Dragon and Decluttering, but if you need any more advice just ask away, everyone's more than happy to help
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    I was coming on her to report NSD number 15 as we had only been to our slimming class for which I always put away our class fees on paydays or pe-pay ................................. but then I remembered that we had to call for diesel on our way, else we wouldn't have got home afterwards, so it turns out to be a spend day after all - shame

    Never mind, I'll get it tomorrow as we ain't going anywhere

    OK OK So how did we get on at theslimming class? I'll let you know, but keep it quiet OK? I gained 6 lbs and Mr 3Dogs gained 6 1/2 lbs - yes, in one week :o back on the diet tomorrow then :eek:
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(
