    I managed to do this last month. I also avoided Ebay and Amazon too. I managed to 'save' nearly £600!!

    Unfortunately I then spent it on 4 nights in Berlin in August on the spur of the moment, d'oh! Felt good paying cash though :)

    Gonna try and avoid them again this month as I have a weekend in Dublin in June to pay for.

  • Hi everyone

    I haven't done this challenge before but I had a few 'practice' NSD's in March and it felt like quite an achievement when I managed one.
    Can you put me down for 10 NSD's for April please.

    Many thanks and Good Luck to everyone:D

    My first crack at the challenge. Excluding Direct Debits etc as spends, I am going to try not to spend any money in the week (aside from my 50p cup of tea in the morning from our Costa at work) - so on Tues, Weds and Thurs. That should be about 12 NSDs.

    Next month I will start making my own tea at work!

    Thanks for the new thread BDINI :j

    Please could you put me down for 7 NSDs again for April. I only managed 3 for March, so this month I am going to try and get my NSDs in early. I took inspiration from watching Super Scrimpers last night on Channel 4 and this month I'm gonna do it...

    Good luck everybody!

    I'm in for my normal 12 please - though it could be tough if I start 'getting out and about' a bit blush.gif

    15 for me please.

    A spendy day today though, getting my hair done and meeting a friend for dinner.
