    Hi I would love to join this challenge, as I am budgeting to pay of naughty debts and NSDs would def help the cause. I think I could realistically start with 12 per month starting 1st Feb and go from there xx

    #17 done!

    And the snow/ice is all gone now after overnight rain! I'm very pleased as I don't deal with icy conditions terribly well, having never been the most steady person on my feet! I literally fall over everything! :rotfl:
    Because it's fun to have money!

    Do you realise that when January is finished we will have collected NSDs equivalent to one person not spending anything for three years?

    Pats on the back all round, methinks!

    Looks like today is a NSD, it's taken ages to list 13 items on ebay, but I can't believe it, they have been up just over 2 hours I have bids on most of them and one person has asked me if they could make a Buy it Now offer. It is amazing.

    Well done mummyr :j

    Well took the bag back to TKM today, thought they might have kicked up a fuss but the SA barely seemed to acknowledge the fact I said it was faulty when she gave me the reduction. Had a look at the others there, but the only one I liked was £70 :eek: I would have used it every day but wasn't sure I could justify that cost.

    Picked up the cat litter I hoped to get - two lots for £3.60 (incl a 40p voucher) as it was on 1/2 price offer.

    Tried to get a 99p car wash at the Shell garage but was told that the station I'd stopped at wasn't doing it - why on earth they are running a promo only in certain stations with car washes is beyond me and very annoying. So the car can wait until I pass another on Thurs, and if not, well I'll go to the hand wash and they've lost my custom :p

    Did also buy a couple of cheeky bits for OH valentines and although I'm still technically in credit for the day, I feel a bit of a fraud if I declared a NSD today. So 4 days in a row of no spends in order to reach target - gonna be a tough one (if I get the 99p wash on Thurs I won't count that as I did try to spend that today IYKWIM?)

    Good Evening folks from a temporarily missing in action red:o

    I was in Edinburgh from Monday to Thursday and while I had snow on Monday and a little on Tuesday, despite the obvious dip in temperatures, it was lovely and it is still my favourite city:D. As my Mum had given us spending money, I am able to declare NSDs 13, 14 and 15 for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday:D.
    Wednesday wasn't an NSD, as we had dinner at a very well known restaurant with Halloween connections on the Royal Mile. It was reassuringly expensive, but I am annoyed to report, that I really didn't think it was as good as it should have been:(.
    I have yet to catch up on the posts, but hope everyone is ok and am sending hugs to anyone who needs them:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!
