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

Hi all nsd number 5. Not alot going on at the moment so looking ok at the moment.

Just got a groupon deal, so no NSD for me today! On 2/10 there is still time though!

The deal was sensible, and I did think about it - £19 for a hair cut, conditioning treatment and finish, valid until the end of march and I need a haircut mid-february (it will have been 3 months, any longer and I really do start to look like a spaniel :rotfl:). AND have budgeted £10 per month for haircuts, and have them every 3 months, therefore I have saved £11 from the budget! (Lets not think about the fact I want highlights for winter shall we? :rotfl:)

Morning all! Well it's a lovely wintery sunny day down here - am thinking about going out into the garden to clear some leaves up. Don't really have any plans to go out and spend so today should be a NSD but not counting my chickens yet... I finished the book I was reading on my Kindle last night so really would like to buy another - I do have one already on there but I'm saving that for when I'm away travelling.

Toady will be NSD 6 for me!

OH has popped out to get headlight bulbs, but seeing as he drives 2 hours in the dark to and from work at the moment (and of course the mse aspect of saving us a fine and/or funeral expenses..) I think that I can chalk that up as an absolutely necessary spend!

Other than that, we've got an exciting day of washing and cleaning, and then hopefully going out for a walk around the local nature reserve after lunch if the weather stays friendly.

I listed a few dvds on Ebay last night,one of which has already sold so I will have to go to the post office tomorrow, but the question is if I cant find the envelopes I bought for this very purpose a couple of years ago (I have a feeling I may have thrown them out...!) and I need to buy one, can I still count it as an NSD? Technically I will have made some money...I found a whole pile of large letter stamps im my old wallet which I thought I had lost last night whilst de cluttering my wardrobe, so I wont have to pay to post it, just for the envelope!

Well, as you say, you're only posting the DVD make money... and aren't you getting the postage costs paid for by the buyer anyway?

I personally wouldn't count that as a 'spend'. After all, if you wait until you've found an envelope/having a spend day you might end up with negative feedback for posting times!

NSD No5 for me today.

Lot's to do indoors today so not going out at all = no opportunity to spend!

So today will hopefully be my first NSD, no plans to go anywhere and lots of things to do at home so I should be alright...im a sucker for buying things I would never normally buy though from special offer emails from various companies...they send so many!! Im in the process of trying to unsubscribe from them all to try and stop this happening!

Resist, bella, you can do it!!!:D

Agree with somethingsgottogive, bella. Most people on here, if posting something they've sold, don't count the postage as a spend, especially if the buyer is paying postage. So I think you can probably count it as an NSD (as long as you don't buy anythign else, of course;)).

Hope that helps
