A fantastic February with the NSD challenge

Am determined to keep this going, even though we haven't got through January yet.:D
I'm going to be a bit stricter about my target in February. There are five Wednesdays so 5 shopping days and I'm going to allow five extra days for disasters so please would you put me down for 19 NSDs please.
I'm going to stick to counting all non-food and food cash spends (I'm planning to continue doing all my shopping in shops once a week and in cash), bank and cashpoint withdrawals, diesel, phone top-up, vegbox order payment, bills that come through the post, and purchases on Amazon (the only online shopping I do). I want to get this really rock solid before I move onto counting SO and DD payments as well.
Many thanks

Aiming for 20 NSD for Feb by strategically using the system for uni days and the odd milk and fruit top up day by placing the money in a purse ready to use when needed and setting my usual strict uni budget of train fare and 2 or 3 cups of tea (80p) reduced down from expensive coffees (£2) and taking absolutely everything else with me including all food, pop and water
Wish me luck because believe me I need all the luck I can get with how dire the money is at present - I hope this helps. I need a month where I spend only on what I need and nothing else so here I go starting on Wednesday for the next 29 daysfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

My second NSD month so I think I will be a bit more ambitious, but also bearing in mind its a shorter month.
So aiming for 12 NSD and 3 in a row :cool:
Good luck everyone and thank you to Spoon and the gang for providing so much support and motivation. Not quite sure why 'Spoon' though. Is there a tale to tell?PAD-ing Since 7/1/11 2012 - £2329.10 2011 - £4760.88 :money:
