    Good evening folks from a rather tired Red,

    Spoony, don't worry about the update, as when you get just over the age of 21, you're entitled to the odd senior moment:p!! I would like to go for 15 NSDs this month please. It may be an optimistic target, as I'm in Edinburgh for 4 days and also haven't had an NSD today due to the joy of direct debits, but we'll see. I hope everyone is well, as I've yet to read the posts.:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!
  • Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

    Thanks to Spoon, LMH and BDINI for all your hard work and If for your fab pictures, they make me chuckle.

    Can I aim for 12NSD's and 4 in a row please.

    Hi all, I really need to join this challenge. Had the minor lb moment last summer, then the sledgehammer lb moment after Xmas. Where on earth has all our money gone?!
    Kept all my grocery receipts for jan and although I was being frugal, I visited the supermarket 18 times :eek:
    So i will count every credit card and cash transaction as a spend, but not direct debits or debt repayments.
    As it's half term this month, could you put me down for
    6 NSD for FEB

    That was so me too, i could manage to find a reason to be in the supermarket every night if i wanted!!
    Since i started this challenge i have got it down to once a week, with an extra quid in the milk jar just in case i run out... & you know what, i don't even miss it like i thought i would....
    Just go for small steps & before you know it, you'll wonder what you even liked about the supermarket!!

    Hey all,

    I can't decide if I have had a NSD or not!!

    I had planned not to buy anything today, but ended up getting some gardening bits as an impulse buy :(

    OH did give me a load of change he had collected to go in my penny jar though, and that came to more than I spent on gardening stuff.

    Not sure whether to declare this a NSD or not. Don't want to wriggle out of falling for an impulse buy, but technically I am no worse off today.

    What should I do?

    I guess it just depends how strict you want to be.... technically you are in profit, & therefore you can count an NSD, but if you are trying to stop your impulse buy, it may be helpful for you to count it as a spend to put you off doing it again, it's totally up to you, as the rules for this challenge are personal to you.
