    I'll join too please. Did the make £10 a day challenge last month and found it really motivating so now hoping to do this one too.

    Not sure when my DDs go out but I'll be counting those days as spend days. Have a holiday end of August but I'm confident there's days I can not spend. I think bringing lunch to work will help a lot as some days that is my only expense but it does mount up over a week or year.

    So I'm going for 10 NSD's for August. I don't know how difficult it will be as I don't really know how many NSDs I already have. I'v eonly been doing a spending diary for two weeks but it doesn't look like I have many at all so this challenge should keep me on the straight and narrow!

    Hey, hello, ughhh, **shuffles in** thank goodness I made it...:D

    Could I please be signed up again this month, last month went slightly off the rails, last weekend was quite boozy, I'm paying for it physically today!

    I would like to sign up for 10 again this month, your Spooness. I'm even less likely to hit this than I was last month but my rec on the spending diary showed 25% of my spending was unnessessary so that will have to be cut back.

    Thanks, (oh and whats with the 5 pages already, tell me it not wednesday and I've slept through 3 days!!!!:eek:)

    I'd like to join the challenge this month please? I'm determined to get this spending under control.
    Can I put myself down for 5 to start with?
    I'll start off by counting what comes out of my purse or card, I'm never sure when DD's come out!

    I had better go for 10 NSD's this month. I must not go 'Amazoning' as my Mum would call it. I got 6/10 last time but may have got more, but can't be bothered to account for them. Still got to get to Scotland Edinburgh end or Highlands end this year for much needed holiday and overdose on Scotland.
