    I'm not counting DDs as they are non negotiable. I'm also not counting my MS jobs as I get the money back but if I go over my allowance, then I'll count that.

    I was hoping to have a NSD but my eBay sales didn't quite reach car tax quota so have to top it up with my own money

    So, just 2 NSD for me, so far
    LBM.....sometime in 2013 £27,056. 10 creditors
    June 20.....£7,587.....3 creditors left 72% paid

    £26,200 on interest only part of mortgage (July 16)...will chip away £17,103
    £49,200 repayment mortgage ( July 16) £37,764

    Is there a thread for small spend days or can this be used?

    My target would be 22, with a small spend being less than £5.

    Not sure if there's a small spend thread The Boss but I subscribe to ETO's weekly spending challenge which I find really helpful for the days when I need to spend.....hope the link works:

    How did we get to 3rd of May and I've not managed ANY NSDs yet? :eek:

    I've only spent money on fleabay postage today but my rules are that I count days where I spend any money as spendy......So possibly Sunday before my first May NSD. 15 looks like a loooong way off :rotfl:

    Hi everyone :wave:

    A much better day for me today. I have managed to do some light housework and my new airer and DVD player were delivered this morning (no more daytime TV rubbish :D ). I am tempted to say no more spending but the last time I said that ......... :)

    I have had the most fantastic soak in the bath today, it was heaven. I was not even allowed to have a shower for a few days after the op to avoid any possible infection although I did have one as soon as I was able (wouldn't want you to think I am a smelly so and so :D ). The simple things in life really are the best. I've also not had to take any painkillers today, another positive.

    I am hoping for my first NSD tomorrow as well so all is good.

    Spoon, thank you!

    Well done to everyone that has captured NSDs so far! I am off to read back on everyone's progress, see what I've missed and update another day off the ciggies, although I have been mentally tortured by those pesky things for the past couple of days but I WON'T GIVE IN! :)

    I am with you there MissE, I also do the same even though it's been paid for! 23 also seems a long way off, :eek: and I haven't got one yet!

    Today was NSD #1 Have had two very spendy days (whoops) buying stock for my little etsy store. Whilst they will hopefully pay dividends in the end I'm still trying to get things up and running. Hoping for a few more NSDs over the next few days!

    Nor me, mad_scientist, one of the joys of being self-employed:(

    Brilliant start, btw, 3 NSDs is fab! :j:j


    One the positive side, NSD no 2 for me today, yippee:j:j:j:j I was toying with the idea of buying some new (much-needed) bedding and curtains, but I still have my nasty surprise from the taxman to sort out _pale__pale_ I better do that first or you might see me missing for a while :(
