    well yesterday was a fail when it came to a NSD
    buuuuut and it is a big but, just checked my bank to find out i am only £50 into my overdraft with all bills paid until december :j:j
    normally by this time im at least £700 into it
    omg this frugal living and my nsd is really paying off for the first time in way too many years i will be going into a new year completely debt free and my account in the black....i feel almost giddy with excitement, i knew i didnt have much left to pay but i didnt realise it was so close
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    We never ever use the 'f' word on here :eek: We do our very best and sometimes life just gets in the way but every NSD is a good NSD, so, regardless if we hit our target or not, we are focusing on our finances and that's gotta be better than before :)

  • It was a good day yesterday - NSD#3 and managed to go for a run - have signed up for a 10km Wolf run in April and the training hasn't really started yet! :o

    I've brought lunch with me to work today to avoid the Friday chip shop run but am going climbing tonight which will involve buying some cake - does it count as a spend if the money has already left my bank and is in cash?

    Tomorrow will definately be a spend day as I'm having take away with some friends - yum!
    No more buying books Books in 2016 = 20.

    NSD 5 acheived yesterday. Again, today looking likely for another. That's 3 in a row for me too! Wow! It gathers momentum!

  • Had to spend yesterday as desperately needed some printer paper and some other stuff but that's fine as it was needed and not just wanted :) Am thinking it will be a NSD today though as I am not going anywhere and don't need anything now.

    The big test will be next week when I am stuck in a hotel for two days on a training course. Pray for The Lincs Effect haha.

    Will report back to claim another NSD later all being well :)

  • Spent already ..... I've been out!:j

    Honestly, just a very quick trip as had to pick up a prescription from the chemist - stopped at the co*op on the way back & managed to get a YS chicken (will be going in the oven in a sec!) and some trashy mags :o

    Feels good .... but need a lie down :cool:

  • Well, I was hoping that yesterday would be my first NSD but at about 10:00pm after a little wine ordered some moisturiser on the internet (which I did need but could have waited for another day)as had completely forgotten about the NSD. :(

    Right, today definitely won't be a NSD so am aiming for Saturday! Keep your fingers crossed for me! Quick question though.......if I put aside some money from today for something I need to buy on Saturday will Saturday still count as a NSD or not? :o

    Thank you!

  • Webitha that's fantastic! Well done you.

    And rising, sounds like getting out and about is the biggest triumph you could have today, spend or no spend.

    I forgot about my brother's birthday and then realised that I had to order something today to get it to him by the day (he lives in a different country from me) so there went the day. So I thought sod it, and bought myself a nice Friday lunch. I've gone from buying out every day to once a fortnight, though, so I don't feel that guilty.
