Hi lovely NSD-ers :wave:

I've just read through the last three days of posts and I'm very impressed with all the targets being smashed.. well done everyone, there are some brilliant numbers being posted this month :j:j:j:j:j:j

.... and....... because I've been so blimmin' busy working:mad: I've had no time to spend and have made my first target... 20 NSDs yay!!:j:j:j

Freeby, please could you increase my target to 24... I have a tax bill to pay over the weekend so I may need some restorative spending after that:eek:

Popping my head round the door to say hello! I've been missing for a few days as work has taken over and I've been under the weather too. Feeling better this morning and given the house a bit of a scrub whilst DH took the DC out.

Just been looking at the calendar and there's only 6 more days left of January :eek: I'm hunting for 4 more NSDs so must be on guard at all times to make my target. The DC need to take money into school next week so that was organised yesterday and is ready to go (and counted in yesterday's spends). I'm going to stay out of the shops as much as possible. Make do and mend is my current mantra!

Hope all are well and in track for this month

Good morning everyone!

Well - do I count yesterday as a NSD or not? Did the food shop - budgeted for already and also paid for car job using cash I had saved in my purse in advance.

Anway, could I increase my total to 18 please?

Here's another one looking forward to Feb that's for sure, this has been a long long month!

# 10 NSD on Friday

Morning all,

Yesterday was a spend day I'm afraid and I have to say I really begrudged it!
Still, today might not be too bad. I have to go and do the food shop which I always try never to do at the weekend as I try really hard for the weekend just to be about family and friends but the car is in for its MOT on Monday and so I can't do it then. If I stay within budget though and don't spend anything else, then I should go over my target this month, and considering I only started last weekend, I think I've done okay!
It looks like we have all done really well and thank you to freebyfifty who sorts out the thread and everyone who contributes, I am really enjoying this thread.
