    I don't count direct debit days as breaking NSDs


    Me neither FF. I would never have one if I did :) My DDebits come out all the way through the month :eek:
    I count everything else though :(

    August NSD Challenge 14/15
  • let's say **putting the week's bus fares into the pretty coffee jar, Jo's tumble tots SIZE=2]Weds mornings[/SIZE in the cracked teapot & Ben's £1 coin for the gym locker SIZE=2]Friday lunch[/SIZE in the pocket of the changing bag, on Tuesdays every week when you've got some change from doing the food shop, so an already spendy day. At least four 'spending days' condensed into one ;) (**mine's jam jars for windows, milkman & a bit towards the bills!)

    I really must get more organised and start doing the above (put the window cleaner's money away on pay day would save 1 spend day etc) .... and getting those numbers up!

    Going to make a big effort in Jan to work out where I could do this and then ... from Feb - there'll be no stopping me!
    I don't count direct debit days as breaking NSDs as I have a separate account for this and transfer the money to it on payday. I have no idea what days my direct debits come out, just that they're all taken care of by the time I get paid again!

    Snap! I count the day the money's moved into the other account as a spend day (I guess a bit like putting the money into jars ....) but that's the only one!

    So .... Spoon, you've made this hard mmmmmmm I really want Eeyore :o(I :heartpuls Eeyore!)

    Target = 15 NSDs & 4 in a row
    (must work harder on these in 2012 too!)

    Ooh, I'd like to give this a try. I'm quite good at stopping myself from shopping, but I need the motivation to stop nipping out from work to buy crisps/caffiene related products.

    NSD's will help me stop my silly spending and help me with my New Year's Resolution to shift some weight!

    Put me down for 15 NSD's and I'll see how I get on!
  • Hi not done very good the last two months and not met my targets so i would like to try for 10 NSD's for January anything over will be a massive bonus. Got to get more organised for the new year, been looking at some of the other threads to give me some hep with organising. Can't believe how quickly the years are ticking by.
