    Yesterday was NSD 7 for me which I'm really pleased about, today and tomorrow have potential too. This challenge is certainly helping me think about my spending carefully and helping to stop random unscheduled purchases so thank you everyone.

  • Just a flying visit to say NSD number 13 for me :D Getting there, I even resisted going to Mr T's with my sis and took the dog for a walk instead! I am at home for the rest of the day apart from the school run which I don't take my bag on (children always want to go on the shop!) I also did an order today with milk and more who are doing a promotion in Jan for a free £10 shop, no min spend, so even though I ordered stuff it doesn't count as i=t was all freeeeee!!! HTH someone else to, just google ilk and more and click on their website then follow the link x Anyway, must dash, loads of work still to do x

  • Declaring unlucky number 13 for me today... DS came down with S&D yesterday, and was sent home from nursery, and I started this morning, so won't be risking going anywhere!!

    Yesterday became a spendy day so I decided to make it a proper spendy day and got petrol and groceries in the evening. I normally order my groceries online. I took my list with me and promised not to get too carried away by seeing stuff and just putting it in my trolley. I spent the same amount, did not pay extra for delivery and brought home more stuff (as I found cheaper alternatives). So even though I spent I was very happy and have cancelled grocery delivery today making today a NSD.

    So now I'm up to 13 yeay

    Spoon - has been her usual diligent self, and in addition to keeping an eye on us has completed her tax return:T
