  • Reporting No 4 today!

    It's actually even harder than I thought it would be .... Sunday was only £1 (needed to get a NOTW for the vouchers) and yesterday was only a couple of ££ to get bread... but still something!

    However, still better than usual as stayed clear of supermarket - I usually would've gone to Asda, armed with card and probably spent around £20 both times (instead of change @ Co-op)!

    Haircut & colour tomorrow (yeha) - ages since I've had a bit of a pamper - but using Christmas money so don't think I'll count that!

    If I've already got the money out for swimming and that's all I spend, does it count as an NSD?
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • Hi all

    Jumping in quickly to report NSD 8 :T:T:T

    I would have to say to any lurkers out there who are trying to cut back/pay off debts etc - I find this challenge to be the absolute best one of the lot. It helps you focus on when you spend as well as on how much you spend - any time I've joined in my spending has been curtailed to a level I never before thought possible :D.

    It's helped me bring my DFD a lot closer too.

    Have a nice night all and a big vote of thanks to Spoon and BigMumma for tallying things up and keeping it all bubbling.

    :hello:

  • Change of plan today now- my sister and I are off shopping tomorrow and she called to say she also needs to do a food shop on the way home, so instead of going twice I am just going to go with her tomorrow instead..to Mr T instead of Mr S too which she swears is cheaper. Not sure ive really noticed any difference though. But still it means I can declare today as NSD3!!

    Thanks Spoon, I'll be honest I've amazed myself by even getting to 4 so the challenge is on to get to 10 and maybe extend again :j

    Very much inspired by you and others reporting such great figures on here so hope to improve as the year goes on :p

    Number 8 for me - I'm flying this month!! Banning myself from wine (except at weekends obviously!) has probably got a lot to do with this :) xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
