    Evening all, after my epic F-F-F-F...FLOP :p last month, I'm going for 12 NSD this month. Am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as work being totally manic (or prob more the eye of the storm) but anyhoo, I don't feel quite so much like a wound up spring atm (prob also due to a lovely weekend - keep having warm fuzzy feelings when I think back to sat night out - and no, that's not the mexican repeating on me :rotfl::eek:)

    Have decided I'm going to exclude Boot Camp payments since I don't count pole I might as well be consistent. That said, it doesn't matter today - ran out of foundation this morning :eek: so had to reload my boots card (get a discount via work scheme) in order to get some later in the week. THANKFULLY I had some left that from a brand i'd previously used so I won't scare anyone between now and then :rotfl:

    PS - Spoony, I think Nargle mentioned Igor was making a variation on the bat curry this year, something about pumpkins and being pickled but not sure what they've been pickled in :eek::eek:

    Welcome on board, gilly (no, I'm not stalking you, honestly! I just live here half the time)

    Freeby, Spoon and the gang will no doubt give you the official NSD gang welcome. Look out for the humunguous great posts by Ifwisheswerehorses, near the beginning of each page, summarising what this madness sorry challenge is all about. And don't, whatever you do, use the F word. (As in "fail" - we do not "fail" on here, every NSD achieved is something to celebrate)
    One life - your life - live it!

    No NSD for me today, ran out of time for brekkie so popped to the local shop and bought myself a treat, had to buy a birthday card too, and as i had spent i did a small top up shop this evening. So am hoping to build up at least a couple of NSD's this week as i should be covered for most things now.

    Well done to all the NSDer's so far.

    Welcome and good luck, you will enjoy this challenge, I really do :)

    I managed to get NSD #1 today!! I did have to buy some bread but I have £15 in pound coins for this month that is to cover necessary spends and stop me getting cash out. i will only count it as a NSD if I buy thing I DON'T need or I have to buy something to get change also. Hope you guys don't mind, the £15 is an allocated spend I guess :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D
