    NSDs - 18

    Walk 5km a day - should be at least 150km by the end of the month
    Stick to grocery budget - 120 again

    5.6k into the walk fund, went to the library (uni and normal) - got 7 books, went and changed my change, another tenner into the bank.
    Going to make extra payments to the c/cs - doesnt count as a spend as its survey money and change

    Walked 24.1km in the last two days - and I don't feel too bad!

    Watching Superscrimpers last nightgave me an idea, why don't I do a No Spend Week? So, starting from tomorrow I will have a No Spend Week; I will not spend a penny on ANYTHING. There is no money in my purse and there is nothing I need. I have food, ciggies/baccy, drink and anything else... :D
    I think I can do it :D
