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.

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.

Hiya, I'm determined to actually achieve my target this month!!! I have missed out slightly over November and December but this month will be the one for me

My target is 10 NSDs, and I can already declare one!Total money owed: [STRIKE]31/07/11- £17,877[/STRIKE], LBM - 14/10/12 :j, 01/06/13 - £0 DEBT FREE!!!! :beer:

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
