    I considered calling today a NSD,but,if I am honest,it wasnt really.Was going sooooo well until tonight,needed to nip out simply for bread.And then 3 chocolate bars "accidentally fell into my shopping basket": ooops!
    (Thought I might have got away with calling it NSD because I spent money leftover from October budget.But no,due to bad planning,I really did still spend tonight :eek:).Planning to do a big grocery shop tomorrow,so money going the wrong direction then,also.:o

    EDIT:Charleybear,I love the idea of "paying yourself" a pound each NSD :think I might start doing that.Absolutely inspired!!

    Good Morning Folks:),

    Firstly, thank you to everyone involved in organising and updating the thread:T. Can I please go for 12 NSDs this month.
    I had a spend day of Friday, but would like to declare NSD1 for yesterday please:)
    I am hopeful today may be an NSD, but will declare later. I have been up for a while, so have made fifteens and am now about to make oatmeal and white chocolate cookies:)
    I will be heading to the gym for 9am and then visit Mrs Red and my parents, before coming home later to open a bottle of Red to go with my Sunday dinner:). I haven't yet caught up on the posts, but hope everyone is well:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!
  • NSD 1 for me yesterday.
  • I have added all my prospective NSD's to my calendar and showed my DH (not that he'll take any notice of it!).

    Thankfully I left this weekend free from NSD as I'm trying to get his family sorted for Christmas this month. Have everything bought bar one person and a few wee jars from ikea for the great idea of homemade sugar scrubs (thanks to the Homemade Gifts thread :) ).

    Hope everyone is on target :)

    MissE001, thanks for starting us off this month.

    I hope everyone is well.

    I am late joining this challenge again. After a dismal October I am hoping to do better in November.

    I will aim for 14 and see how I go. I have changed my strict rules and decided I can no longer include work related expenses (the reason for my poor performance in particular last month) as although I am spending money, I am reimbursed every month.

    I am up to 2 so far, yesterday and today. I am having a day in today to catch-up on some housework and then have a rest for the remainder of the day.

    Am off to declare my final total for October, update my signature and then catch-up with what I have missed so far.

    Enjoy your Sunday. It's sunny but chilly here!
    NSD Challenge 2015: Jan 20 / 20 (2 x 5 in-a-row) / Feb 5 / 12 (4 in-a-row) :D

    Lesson learnt from 2012: I cannot be trusted to credit card stooze!

    Barclaycard at 2 / 02 / 2015 [STRIKE]£4,600[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£4540[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£4250[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£4000[/STRIKE] £3250 need to pay it off by 08 / 2015 before mortgage completion
