I'm quite annoyed with myself because today was supposed to be an NSD and it didn't happen. I gave myself a hard time all day for it which I know I shouldn't but I'm trying really hard to save money.DEBT TOTAL: £7609.440

My 2nd NSD today! In fact I made a bit of money as I gave two people a lift and they gave me petrol money
So I now have more money in my purse than I did this morning! That has to be a NSD+ :rotfl: ** Official DFW Nerd Club Member 009**

Good morning all!
#2 in the bag! I didnt go anywhere yesterday. I spent the morning clearing out and tidying the spare room, so I am delighted that now, when I open the wardrobe I dont have to wear a hard hat to avoid injury from falling items!
I fell asleep in the chair in the afternoon while OH watched Scotland being ROBBED at football!
Today wont be a NSD as I need some cooked meat, milk and salad for packed lunches. So, small spends today.
you will always be rich enough to be generous.0 -

Today won't be a NSD for me as I have to get a few bits in for the post holidays back to work/college lunchboxes and we need milk. Will keep it as low as possible though by popping into Aldi this morning. Aiming for at least 4 NSD's next week

Loving the challenge of deciding if you really need to buy the item / spend the money or not! Most of time the answer is NO :j** Official DFW Nerd Club Member 009**

Can I join please.
My house is bursting at the seams with food, toiletries, washing stuff etc yet i seem to end up in a supermarket most days. I really want to monitor it (and hopefully save some cash)
The only thing I need to buy is milk and petrol. I am not going to count these as spends nor will i count direct debits for bills etc.
there are 30 days in September how many shall i aim for? i recon i could do over half:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart
Proven to be a little fighter and battling on with her heart condition :j

Reporting in with NSD 1 & 2 for me so far. Fingers crossed for another one tomorrow and quite possibly Tuesday. For some unknown reason, I always do better with this challenge if I get quite a few days in at the beginning of the month. Why do you suppose that is?CC1 £5999 Total Debt March 2021 £5999

Morning All
Well I have decided to keep my nsd for yesterday so that is officially 1 for me.
You know im sure they do it to stress us out, OH came home yesterday in distress thinking he had lost 100 quid, i saw him check all his pockets, put his hands in every pocket, I give him a hug and what do i feel in the back pocket of his jeans - you guessed it the missing 100 quid, his big day out ruined but the money not lost, :mad: but also:D
Probably not going to be a nsd today but hoping for tomorrow and possible 4 in a row
