    Hi lovely gang :A

    Well despite it being a glorious day outside the challenge is still busy, just proving the devotion of the regulars to this thread and the keenness of our newbies. It’s lovely to see all the regulars back again, the thread wouldn't be the same without you all x :A



    A big welcome to all the newbies joining up today, it’s great to have you on board. If you’re not sure about anything please ask, we’re very friendly and there’s usually someone around to help. Feel free to join in with the chat and general nonsense on here, we’re fairly tame (well, most of the time, if you humour us). Good luck with your first NSD challenge - keep posting, that’s the secret to success here.

    So a big welcome to:

    :hello:Emzilla - signing you up for 20 now. Good luck, you can do it!!
    This challenge is great at making us think twice about buying unnecessary stuff so I’m sure it will help you this month. If you need any encouragment there are some pretty rank kippers lying around somewhere which I will happily lob in your direction

    :hello:wannabehermit - signing you up for 10 now. Good luck, you can do it!!
    If you’d like to increase your target later in the month that’s fine.

    :hello:Smoosh - signing you up for 10 now. Good luck, you can do it!!
    Well done for staying positive despite the early morning spends. We’re behind you all the way

    :hello:Jay83 - signing you up for 14 now. Good luck, you can do it!!
    Yes of course you may join us, you’re very welcome. As above if you need any help please just ask x Fingers crossed for no 1 for you tomorrow

    :hello:Nannygladys - signing you up for 8 now. Good luck, you can do it!!
    Yes of course you may join us, you’re very welcome. No NSD target is small, we each have different commitments and 8 can be easy for some people and difficult for others - good luck x

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I was going to start with 12 - 3 a week I thought would be a pretty easy going start, but then remembered it's half term at the end of the month plus ds2s birthdays at the start of next, so I'll start myself off with a nice easy 10. No nsd's so far, ds1 was 10 on Friday and as it was such a lovely day we had a bbq yesterday (never thought any of my children would be able to have a bbq for their birthday!) and none today either as ds2 has the optician, so I'll start in earnest on Monday. :D

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to all things mse and would love to attempt this challenge. I think that 8 NSD should be achievable.

    Thanks.
