I'm going to have a very spendy week next week so i plan to get money out over the weekend and then where i dont spend any more than budget i will class as NSD's hopefully this will mean 1 spend day rather than 5 ..... i hope this isnt classed as cheating

Everyone counts their NSDs differently, it's completely up to you. I have a budget every week and as long as I spend under that budget it is an NSD for me. It is helping me manage my money musch better.

Good afternoon folks,

No NSDs to declare since my last visit and definitely not for today, as I've been out doing Christmas shopping:eek:. With the exception of some vouchers and a few more bits and bobs, I'm almost finished:).
Noticeably colder in NI this week and there was frost on the windscreen this morning:mad:
I hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend, as I have not yet caught up on the posts.

Christmas shopping :eek: I have a list in my head and that's as far as I have got I am impressed that you are nearly finished yours. I know what I am like and would be tempted to keep on spending so I'm putting it off a wee while longer.

I had to defrost the car 3 days out of 5 last week before work :eek:

Well, you can suspend the amazement at my 8 quid shop as i have been naughty tonight & blown all chances of 6 in a row by giving in to a takeaway pizza
In my defence, all of the DIY upstairs that i needed to do is finished & i managed to repaper the back bedroom & it was 8pm when i finished too filthy & shattered to do anything other than call in food & have a soak in the bath to try & soak out the splinters!!
Those of you that use the "F" word are safe now, as the crowbar is retiring back to the shed for a rest!! :rotfl:

You definitely deserved that pizza. :T

NSD #13 in the bag for me :T I managed to spend absolutely nothing yesterday and made myself a tidy little profit catering a buffet. So when I put that in the bank tomorrow and with it being payday too, my bank account will be looking decidely healthy.....................for about 5 minutes until all the DDs come out


Have a great day everyone.

Claiming NSD #12 & 12 in a row for yesterday.

Did pop into Waitrose for their reductions yesterday and thought I went over budget until getting to the till and realised that they were paying me to take their sandwiches away (very close to them owing me money at the till)!

Aiming for another one today.

Still no more NSDs for me - I had to go and get some carrots for todays lunch and they had some reduced bulbs for sale so I took those and will plant them up this afternoon.
I'm impressed at how you all manage to not spend for such a long time, I seem to always forget something or not plan out things very well. Well, I guess I'll just have to practise.
Today though is definately number 3 NSD, as it's Sunday and nothing's open.

A total spend today for me of £14.36 but seemed to get lots! Spent quite a long time in Iceland working out the best offers before committing to anything.
Tesco's are currently doing a 50p per can deal on their Heinz soups. As they are my favourite, I stocked up... 12 cans later my cupboard is much fuller!

Home Bargains turned out to be a let-down. I'm sure it used to be more "foody" in the past. Today though there was barely half an isle of food, and nothing worth having. Mostly snacky stuff or xmas chocolates. I was in there at 10am, tried to buy some cheap bleach, only to be told tills didn't open until 10:30! Stuff that! Iceland stuff was already melting in the car, so didn't want to hang around.

Another day another NSD that makes 6 NSD's in total. Just made some nutella cupcakes with the kids OH has been bringing home jars of nutella from work for free so trying to find recipes that we can make and use it up. First lot of decluttering fleas bay sales end today. Slow progress in the decluttering but as long as it's leaving the house i am pleased.

I am up to 3NSDs today. Not as good as I would have liked but I bought some necessary items like food and now have a well stocked cupboard and freezer. At the moment I can't decide if it was a sensible purchase or a whim but I bought a convector heater for my bedroom. It was lovely and cosey to wake up to today.

Hoping for NSD #5 today after a spendy weekend.
