  • Hiya Spoony,

    I've been pretty pants at the whole MSE thing over the last few months, and need to get back into it in a big way.... Can I start with 18 NSDs for Jan please :)

    Hello! :wave: :wave:

    I love this challenge but haven't signed up for the last couple of months ... so would like to start afresh in 2011.

    I've successfully managed around 12 NSDs in the past but would like to give 15 NSDs a go for January!

    THANK YOU!!!

    Very best wishes to everyone for 2011!

    I shall be seeing in the New Year with the television, some peanuts, the last bit of Christmas cake, and a glass or two of wine from a bottle given to me for Christmas :o

    Hi newbies and oldies
    All added to the front page now, welcome aboard the NSD challenge

    kdenty - hi and welcome, good to have you join up. You can do either actually, the more hard core NSDers count both bills and actual spending, most of us count just spending. BigMummaF has put some guidelines on the December thread which will be moving here when they're finalised, have a look, they might give you some ideas. I've put your target as 20 but if you want to change it having read that, feel free. Good luck

    reb - welcome back, well done for giving up FB for us, we're much friendlier. I've put your target as 20 for now, will that be OK?

    SarahN - welcome back, we've missed you. All signed up for your 18 now, good luck and keep posting, that's the way most of us make our targets

    JES_F1 - welcome back to you as well. Good luck with your 15, keep posting I'm sure you can do it. Enjoy your evening

    donna dynamo and elfen - good to see you both again, all signed up now

    Back later to check that everyone's behaving:D

  • I must just say that the piggie with the money (at the top of the NSD challenge thread every month) looks like he's in pain poor wee thing! I think it every time I see it but finally got round to pointing it out.....(or perhaps it just my subliminal mind justifying why my piggy bank never gets fed :o)

    Dee-Dee - yes of course you can join us, you're very welcome. I've added your name to the list now. Would you like to set yourself a target for your NSDs for Jan? Good luck and keep posting, we'll give you loads of support advice and kicks up the bum if needed:D

    twistedhazel - welcome back, all signed up now, good luck
