    So I've found a bad side to my NSD'ing! I knew today was going to be a spend day because I was out with work for dinner so I treated myself to a Starbucks this afternoon :o because I figured I was spending anyway. Doh! And because of my awkward/healthy choice of drink it cost me £3.60 - pointless spend! Naughty hanb :( on the plus side, I really enjoyed my coffee and my Mexican dinner :D

    Evening everyone :wave:

    Well done to:

    busybumblebee - two brilliant NSDs nabbed over the weekend, nos 5 and 6, woohooooo,:j:j and a low spendy day as well, that can’t be bad. :T Hopefully no 7 will follow along soon, fingers crossed:)

    Hello all
    Hope all poorly people are feeling better soon, this weather does not help! Well done to clever people and all you excellent NSDers.

    Today I am claiming NSD #7

    I really did leave myself a challenge for the end of the month!

    I've joined the payment a day challenge too, which seems a bit at odds with this one, but this one is stopping the shop type spends and changing my habits, the PAD is to speed up paying off my CC, so I'm not counting it in any of the other 'don't spend' challenges I'm doing. I WILL pay this debt off as quickly as possible, so I can turn my new found will power to saving instead! :T
