    I don't think anyone else counts that as a spend - the buyer pays for it, so it's not actually your money you're spending ;)

    That's also the impression I got.It doesn't count as the buyer pays p & p.
    Can you put me down for 10 days in March please, I have already managed 2 :D I was rubbish at sticking to this in February - must do better!

    I thought you were about to use the f word there to describe February!:eek:
    Checking in with 2 more NSD's for Tuesday and Wednesday. So now i have 4 NSD's and 3 in a row.
    Today will be an NSD no doubt but you never know what could crop up.
    Tomorrow is grocery day, Fuel up day and a little treat day :j

    Thanks for the very warm welcome. I'm getting used to not spending now :j

    You'll see,nabbing nsds can get seriously addictive!:D

    I have a dilema for next week - need to go for an ultrasound at a private hospital about 9 miles from me.

    I could get the bus almost all of the way and walk the last bit, then walk home, thus continuing my 10 mile minimum walking per day. The bus would cost £1.50. Is this an NSD since there is already credit on my Oyster card?

    If I drove, the cost in petrol and oil would be around £1.50 worth of fuel but would be a NSD as I am not spending anything.

    Appreciate that I'm thinking deeply into this but if I am doing the NSD challenge then I am absolutely taking it seriously.
