    NSD #5 yesterday, today is not a NSD - I spent £1.45 on a slice of pizza at work. I got my money's worth though, the chef had cut it wonkily so I got a piece that was actually the equivelant of 2 and was almost like a mini pizza in it's own right. I'm still full!
    Thank you competition posters!

    Ok, been away for a few days. Spendy day on Friday - £7.98 in Oxfam, and some cash, and a spendy day today - coffee mainly!

    But two NSDs over the weekend, so I'm up to 7/12 :D

    NSD # 7 here! Phew. :) I was desperate to go out and spend money today, but I left my card at home and emptied my purse. Shocking that I have to behave like that with myself but if it works! I should be on track for tomorrow and for Wednesday, then it'll be the weekend if I'm very very lucky. I will break the barrier somehow this month :):)

    Unbelievable! 3 NSDs in a row - making it a fantastic number 8!

    Can I make it 4 in a row and not spend tomorrow - think I might give it a go!
