    Hello. Can I please claim NSD #11 for yesterday? I did spend on Monday but only a pint of milk, and today looks like it should be another NSD, but I'll wait until later to claim.

    Looks like I am hopefully going to be ok for my target this month. Definitely only by making my own lunches. So other than the pint of milk on Monday I've not spent any money since (excluding bills) which I am very proud of. My Sealed Pot isn't looking so happy though.

    I have a night out on Friday and put £40 aside some time ago for that (my friend has it in an envelope in her desk drawer). My aim is not to spend any more than that, I don't know whether to count that as a spend day or not :rotfl:
    0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

    AFD March 2/15 NSD March 2/11 :T

    Other debts paid since 1/1/14: £17,005
  • Got number 11 on Friday and then had a much more spendy weekend than I first thought I would so no more NSDs until yesterday when I picked up #12 which takes me to my target!! :D :j

    So I'd like to up my target now to 15 please. I'm going walking this weekend so there won't be much opportunity to spend - unless we find a pub near by :p

    Was very disappointed over the weekend - I went to try on my new ice skates and found they were too small for me :( so I had to hire skates again when we went to the rink - more painful feet! Luckily the skates I had bought fit my OHs mum so she ordered me a bigger size and kept the ones I bought, which at least means I don't have to try and post them back to the place they came from. So hopefully next time we go I'll have nice comfy feet!!
    No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.
    Target for 2018 = 7/21
    No more buying DVDs ? 2018 target 27/52

    Hi butdoineedit,

    I didn't realise that you could change your target...:o.

    I will try and squeeze an extra two days out of this month and go for a total of 14 please .:D Not bad considering I really didn't think I would get to 12!

    Thanks

    You can indeed MTTS:D I'll add your new target when I do the update tonight and you may well get a second prize:D

    Well done, you've had a great month:T
    Afternoon all :hello:

    Sorry about your skates, blindtoast, you were so looking forward to trying them out as well:(

    Fingers crossed the new ones are OK x

    Despite going off to a wicked gig last night, I sucessfully managed a NSD!!

    Food and drink were supplied by my friends (who I'd bought the tickets for) and when i saw a couple of badges at the merchandise stand, they even bought them for me!

    So I can happily say, that I think yesterday is NSD 7/10

    Won't be tonight - it's cinema night and my shout!

    Declaring quite early, but as my plans for an afternoon out with OH have been scuppered, I'll not be spending a bean, so it's day 14 for me, only 1 to go to reach my new target :j

    Needs to be, as if I were going to be sensible and pay back my savings pot the money I had to borrow out of it earlier in the month, I'd be £50 overdrawn.....gulp, and pay day is on the 31st.
  • Hello everyone! :wave:

    After yesterday's big food shop, I've managed to keep my money in my pocket so far today - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll catch another NSD today. fingers_crossed.gif

    Hi all, pleased to announce NSD No 15 which is my target. I won't ask for a new target, any more I might get will just be a bonus.
    Hope everyone's fine today.
    Hugs to all who need one.
    Be Well.
