  • 100 of us! Goodness.

    Spend day over here, but I was oh so virtuous with my spends! Trip to donate some unwanted books to charity, trip to the library and then a trip to buy a few cheap vegetables and some freezer storage containers so I could spend the evening batch cooking. Now have 5 x bolognaises, 5 x dhals, 4 x pea and ham soups and a huuuuuuuggggeeee vat of tomato sauce in the freezer. Now I'm off to polish my MSE halo. Hope you're all having a lovely day.

    Can I declare a NSD no2 please? I had toyed with the idea of going to Poundworld but decided not to in the end as I never spend just one pound :)

    *sneaks in the back door*

    Is it too late for me to join please? I'm new to the NSD idea so I think I'll aim for what seems to be easily acheivable with some thought (In my head at least!) target of 10 please.

  • Happy New Year to all

    I am very happy to announce my first NSD yesterday - please note me as 1 NSD

    As it is my first time trying this challenge I am still considering what a NSD means to me. I am going to have a go this month at including all my Direct Debit payments as "spend days" so unfortunately today will not be an NSD. I have taken advantage of this though by doing my grocery shopping, filling up my car and giving the kids their pocket money ......... let's see what tomorrow brings :)
