The Awesome Amazing August NSD Challenge

flowerofscotland

July was packed full of birthdays and other speedy occasions. August includes 2 weeks off work and a wedding but I've set myself a budget for the month and need to achieve my target of

8 NSDs

Sadly can't report today as the first as had to get a birthday present and card ( only 1 other this month)

Well I had decided I was going to have a little break from NSDs this month but I can’t resist the lure of the chocolate prizes:D so.......... please sign me up for 15 NSDs to start with, Freeby, and I’ll see how I get on with counting them up.

I’ve been a very good Spoony today and have nabbed NSD no 1, so that’s a good start, yippeeeeeeeee!!

Oh dear,I have just found a bill that I have forgotten to pay (electricity).August is already a tight month and since I'm going to have to take some money from my grocery budget to pay for the bill,it's going to be a bit tighter.

So,I'm really hoping that today will be an nsd.In fact,I'm going to try for my 4-in-a-row.I have enough food in to keep me going til Monday.

BTW paying bills don't count as a spend for me,as it's essential.It's all about personal spends for me.;)

I'll report back later.

Happy Friday all.

freeby enjoy your day off!

I've not done this challenge before but need to stop spending so much so have decided to try for 10 NSDs this month. I won't be including essential bills & DDs - just days when I open my purse to pay for something, either in cash or on the card. I'd like to save some money for my holiday next month.

It's going to be difficult not to spend at weekends as we are away every weekend this month!

I don't think there will be any NSDs until Monday:(.

Morning everyone, hope you've all got some of this lovely Friday sunshine

Enjoy your day off, Freeby

:eek: to the bill, marmite, what a pain in the wotsit

Welcome to the NSD [STRIKE]asylum[/STRIKE]thread:D, joedenise. Hope you enjoy the challenge and that it helps you to save some pennies for your hols. If you want to know anything please just ask away and feel free to join in with the general chat and banter here, we're a friendly bunch and only bite if we haven't been properly fed

Loobeyloop - YAY to NSD no 1:j:j and sorry about the car troubles:( Fingers crossed it doesn't cost tooooo much


Well, after my good start yesterday, I've been a naughty Spoony today:o and have bought some new bedding, curtains, lights and lampshade. In my justification, I've been deliberating for ages, got just what I wanted and some really good bargains to boot, so I'm happy.... and just a bit broke now :o Oh well, lots of NSDs to look forward to.

I'll stop rambling in a minute, sorry, I only popped in for a wiggle...



Have a good day everyone :wave:
