Out with the old, in with the new: the January NSD challenge

butdoineedit?

Good luck Spoon, i can still remember my first tax return :eek:
You'd best get working on that list, i'll do pretty much anything for a cup of builders tea!

Well, hammer is at the ready, am just waiting for it to be a "reasonable" time to start making noise!

Morning all

Just popping in to wish everyone a good day

Won't be a NSD today for me but it should be a low spend one.

Bye for now:hello:

But I thought all this was not to get in to debt and save money

I'm not in debt and I do save quite a lot - we've got to have some fun sometimes!

Ah, OK. I count them slightly differently to you- I don't count DDs, SOs etc, but I do count every bit of grocery shopping that I do. One of my particular aims is to avoid going into our local Sainsbury's 3, 4 or even more times a week as I was until recently. I am trying to plan ahead much more by doing an online shop as needed (weekly or fortnightly depending on stocks!) I hardly ever had a NSD until I joined this challenge!
Of course I am also trying to tackle uneccessary spending (cash or otherwise) like you, but in not venturing to town for food shopping, this is pretty much taking care of itself!

I'm exactly the same.

Yippee I am halfway - NSD No 6 for me now. with two weeks left that is only 3 a week, hoping to possibly go over my target. I am loving this challenge, I have deleted every sale email and normally i would feel I am missing out. I have never been so determined. :T

Thurs cost me the small fortune of 16.50 for a dentist to spend 2 mins checking my teeth (it took me longer than that to book my next appointment!!). And today I finally went to the shops for a few groceries. Managed to come home with very little tho, so all good

Yeah! forum back up and running :j

If it makes you feel better Hannah - my dentist is about £30 for a mere look at the old nashers :eek: I pay monthly for dental cover though so I don't actually have to pay when I go (works better for me knowing that's covered, and also ensures I go for my regular visits since I've already paid for them :rotfl:)

Declaring yesterday as a NSD - so that's me up to 7 NSD and 1/2 way :j I bought a hair clip from B**ts (chucked all my other ones when my hair was shorter but it's long enough to warrant one now) but used advantage points. Went out to see a band called the Small Fakers (Small Faces tribute - they are v.v good) but OH took me out as a treat which was very nice of him - esp given the amount we (well he) spent on taxis, and the cost of a round - £7.60 for two drinks in the venue :eek: Isn't it great living in the Royal Borough?? :wall:

Was expecting a spendy day today as was supposed to be seeing my mum, but she's not feeling great so called a rain check. I do need to get bread and milk but OH has given my grocery pennies, so assuming I don't go over that I should clock up a very nice, and unexpected NSD which will be nice.

Right...off to shower....still lolling about in my pjs - disgraceful at this time of day :rotfl:

Right...off to shower....still lolling about in my pjs - disgraceful at this time of day :rotfl:

could be back in mine soon.... if I go out for a run I'll be drenched when I get back, and I've no intention of putting on clean/dry clothes for a few hours when PJs will suffice and I'm not expecting any visitors.....

thanks jintyb:beer:
I returned the items but 'lost' about £25 from my calculations because I forgot some of the bits were reduced a bit more than the invoice showed. Never mind! Wandered around looking for something to spend my credit note on, but no. Nothing. I've got until October to use it though:rotfl:.
Returned the Next bits and the Clarks shoes and the Boots bits. Even went to T to return 2 items to the direct desk and managed to walk out without buying any snacks (though craving like mad for doritos and dip - enough to decide to walk there later...:eek:).
If I can keep it up it's a NSD for me and the first time I can remember that I've gone to shops without buying somehting!:j Not listing it officially yet in case I can't fight the temptation. It's gonna be a long and dark afternoon...

Why did i think it was a good idea just to have a quick look to see if the forum was up and running?! I've been so good all day, done all my housework jobs and was getting stuck into my assignment but now i have a distraction.......
If my green light isn't out in ten minutes someone please give me a kick up the backside!!
