Hi Could I join this challenge please. I have tried before but it was earlier last year and I went astray somehow, Determined this year will be different though.

Please put me down for 10 NSD's with 3 in a row

Thanks so much

aaaaaand she's OFF !!!!

first day of the month, and it's an NSD. So that's #1 for me please

It's most unusual for 1st to be one for me, due to a direct debit due out that day. But when it's a weekend or Bank Holiday I get to claim it as long as I don't go shopping

Didn't actually realise until a couple of hours ago that I almost lost it though!! OH and I went down to a local park to fly our kites (yes, we're a couple of big kids ) and you have to pay to park - but he went and got the ticket (without any discussion) because I drove there..... we only ever argue when he drives, as he always wants to pay the parking as well !!!

Tomorrow could be tough, as I need to call into Mr T to double check the nutrional info/price of a couple of items not showing on their website. We spent yesterday making a list of prices at C0stc0, so tomorrow night will be spent compiling a basic spreadsheet of those with the comparison prices from Mr T and Mr A (the SM's used by OH and myself) so that we know where's best value (and how carefully we need to monitor for special offers). Just need to NOT buy anything while I'm in there, as I really can't think of a thing I need.

Oh heck All you sensible people. Am I the only one who has spent the entire afternoon in the pub? And I never spent a penny. I was treated to an afternoon of karaoke and vodka
I'd still be there now if the dogs didn't need [STRIKE]staggered [/STRIKE]walked and fed. :rotfl:

Errrrrr.... nope Freeby... we spent most of the day with friends drinking champagne:D:D... and it didn't cost me a penny either:D:D

Happy new year all!

I didn't make my target of 15 NSDs in December - last minute shopping ruined it I'd like to try 15 as my target again this month though, and report today as NSD #1.

Good luck everyone

Hello. Would I be able to join please? I'm looking to go for
10 NSDs as I have 10 weeks left until my due date and need to buy a few essentials for baby, but trying to get only the things we need, so there will be a few Spend Days unfortunately.

Hi floella80 and welcome :wave: Of course you may join in, everyone's welcome here. The lovely freeby will add you to the front page when she next updates it.

Good luck with the challenge and with the new arrival, hope both go well:)

Hi all,

I have been on MSE using a couple of different names, mostly on the mystery shopping threads but i'm hoping the new name will give us a fresh start and with a fresh start a new lease on tackling our debt.

My husband and I are aiming for 16 NSD.

Can we please join your thread and get a number?

TIA

And welcome to you as well LionessInWinter :wave:
As above, freeby will add you the front page when she next updates it.
Good luck with the challenge and with busting your debt.

Thanks for the lovely welcome Solventsense

I'm afraid today was not a NSD for me as I had to buy Gas/Electric (Costly but essential!

So that still 0/15 NSDs for me!

But I'm hoping to get there! x :j

You can do it lynney88, it's early yet. Fingers crossed for your first NSD tomorrow... and please call me spoon, everyone else does:) x

Today was NSD # 1
Resisted the temptation to treat myself on my birthday. Instead I sorted 2 rooms in the house, and have a small pile of things to sell, so it's been a production spend free day

Happy New Year all

Oooh.... Happy Birthday, Redouble.... you kept that quiet:)

Well done for resisting the temptation today :T:T:T

Ooops... sorry:o I only popped in to wish everyone a Happy New Year and declare NSD no 1 but I seem to have been chatting rather a lot, it must be the alcohol :o

I'm going now... definitely:o:o
