  • Hi folks can I join you please? Trying reign in my spending and this challenge would be really helpful. Not sure how many NSDs to aim for so I will have a rough guess:

    Please put me down for 15 NSDs for the remainder of the month.

    I will be spending tomorrow as I need to do my weekly shop but ideally I won't be spending any more.

    Hi Allie23

    Welcome to the NSD gang:wave:

    Someone (Spoony:A probably) will get your target updated, let us know if you need any help, this challenge is all about learning when we spend and finding ways of not spending as much as often:o.

    Hi Zenshi

    Because this thread is all about making our own rules, depending on individual needs it can be counted or not. If you have stashed the dosh in a pot its obviously budgeted so you may want to count it once a month or not at all, I don't think many of us would count it every week, but its up to you:D, if you check back to page 8 of the thread I think Spoony gave a similar answer so if this doesn't make sense please let us know.

    Hope all having a good week....TGI Friday.. (tomorrow):p

    NSD 1 on Monday
    NSD 2 on Wed
    NSD 3 today. Hoping for a couple more over the weekend - bank balance looking a bit sad after the car tax:eek: and a (reasonably priced) evening out.

    Enjoy the sun :T
