    Count me in, I did this years ago but have not done it for some time so would like to give it another go.

    However I have spent today, I will do my best to have 4 NSD's in a row this week, it seems few compared to others on here...but I will build it up to more!!!

    Good luck everyone : )

    No idea about a target for this month, but had better declare something as the month has already started ;)

    My annual target for 2010 was based on an average of 11 days/month (132 for the year) - but I smashed that part way through September.
    At last count (a good couple of weeks ago) I was on 178 for the year (after back-calculating my count to include D/Debits from 1st Jan 2010 - was on 198 if I ignored those right through the year), which averages at about 15/month

    And I think I had a couple towards the end of the month - I know for sure that 25th was one - so those would take me up to the 15/month average ;)

    Don't want to over-stretch myself though....

    So I think I'll have an initial target of 12/month (144 for the year) please, and see how many months I can increase it - and how soon in the year I can smash that one :D

    Today was NSD #1 :T

    1st of the month normally sees a D/Debit go out, but as it's a weekend it hasn't. And as Monday is a Bank Holiday it won't go out until Tuesday now - so I just need to stay out of the shops tomorrow and resist the Whoopsies when I leave work on Monday to get to 3 before I have a spend I can't avoid rolleyes2.gif

    I did go out today, but it was a frugal day out :) Walked the dog around a country park, and then sat in the car to eat a picnic I'd packed up this morning. Even the car park was free (never been there before, so wasn't sure if it would be Pay&Disp like my local one!), and that was the only thing I thought could have stopped today from being an NSD.
