I've always struggled with the concept of NSD being on a separate thread as i saw it as a separate challenge. So have mainly just updated on the thread that i am partaking in. Cos i can't keep track of two challenges. Lol I've tried but Im not that good at keeping track. So i have just stuck it in my signature but also update when i remember on the post. L2B.xLBM 2008 [STRIKE]£45,091.23[/STRIKE] eek: now £7889:T Debt free date 18/07/20180

Good Evening to you all..
My sincerest apologies to those who have been added without wanting to. I have had a very busy day and in response to demand thought it best to get this challenge posted as soon as possible. I am also a little sleepy..
Those who do not wish to partake or have requested their name be removed have been removed. Those who wish to join have been added. Numbers have changed - just have a quick check again.
FreebyFifty - me thinks a simple request to have your name removed would have sufficed. If the rules don't sit well with you it's okay. You just need to find a challenge that suits. This is just a game after all. Rising/Learning if you also don't feel you like how this challenge is mapped out you don't need to join. Simples.
[STRIKE]As with previous challenges contenders declared their "aim" on the NSD thread. The up-keep, counting and comments about how and when they are acheived or not goes on this thread. The "declaration" so to speak just makes it that little bit more offical. If it confuses you then again you either don't need to join in or just mark it up on your signature. It won't end my world if you don't use the other thread to mark up your NSD count - just to partake in THIS particular challenge the NSD count is SET - you technically don't get to set it yourself. That is the difference.[/STRIKE]...Due to controversys, not very nice comments and such like - could all folk intending to complete JBF just stick to this thread for everything. Yes I did not ask FreeByFifty whether I could send people to her/his thread to "make their mark" but honestly I didn't think I had to. The previous two challenges have gone by without hiccup. So - my bad! Lets keep it all here!!
It has worked pretty darn well on the other two months this challenge has run - I am just going with what I know. I don't know what else to say to people but it is very difficult to run something like this, accommodate and please everyone. Especially since I'm doing this in my own time. Yes I put myself on the line when I do this and don't mind questions but at the end of the day if this challenge does not suit you please find one that does- leave this to the people who want to play!
Thank you!

Very well said Kat, there was no need for the attitudes displayed earlier by the members you mentioned above. You made a mistake adding their names, hardly the end of the world..gee, some people!!
Anyway, I bloomin' love your challenges and having my NSDs set out for me ensures that I push myself and try my hardest to keep up with the rest of the team so PLEASE SIGN ME UP!!
Thanks again for your hard work, I really appreciate it,

Sholly thank you for that! How could it be made any simpler eh.
I work well with rules and I believe many others do to! Heres for a wicked January!!

Hi NSK,
How are you this fine evening
Well here I am once again to join your rallying band of merry folks to pledge all kinds of hardships in an attempt to kick my debt into touch.
I've printed off the do's and dont's on the first page and have set my petrol and food budgets, but I'm going to have a think about other potential spends so that I'm not caught out with unplanned spends like I was in December. So I'll come back after I've had a think :rotfl:0 -
Hi can I join please0

I'm in! Bring it on!0

Hi Kat
I'd like to join for January if I can please - I will look at my diary and plan my spend days accordingly!
Thanks
