Good luck to everyone in the new year, especially all the newcomers. You'll enjoy being on this thread, it's bedlam, oops, I mean brilliant! :rotfl::rotfl:

It's the first time I've come across this thread and I'm quite interested in joining in if that would be ok?

How do people work out the number of NSDs they want? Is it just a number they aim to stick to?

I'm finally going to join! Am feeling really inspired at the moment. Always felt a bit funny about joining in the challenges as I have mental health issues and struggle to keep involved and posting. I tend to lurk and read loads as I don't know anyone on here anymore and am rubbish at building friendships.

I'd like to start with 4 no spend days which will be one per week. With two kids and serious disorganisation I don't think I could manage more but if I do it's a bonus. I have done them without posting before but am finally going to throw my ticket into the ring!

Thank you Spoon :A for the new thread and all the other posters who help keep it running - it really is a great thread.

I had a good december and need to keep it going - if the weather is bad then I wont be out so that might help!!!

Please put me down for 20 and 5 in a row:eek: oh blimey I have done it now:rotfl:

Good Luck everyone

Hi Spoon

Thanks for the new NSD's thread, it's really helping curb my spending, I have become so focused.

I've met my target for the last 2 months so it's time to turn the screw a bit more. Please put me down for 20. I'm going to have to get very well organised as I'm going to include the DD's this month, so it will have to be shopping only on DD days.

For me, I try to aim for around 1/2 the month (less in Dec) - but am hoping to be more organised in 2012 and get the figures up!:D
