    Ooooohhhh,me,me,me.Let me join again!!I promise to behave myself!!
    As Kate-fixing-it says,this challenge definately makes you think about whether you really need to buy something today(or if it will wait til tomorrow when you will have to buy petrol anyway because the petrol indicator is flashing red ;)).

    Good luck to everyone.The last couple of months I have been doing this challenge,I have aimed for over 10 NSD's a month.But with Christmas and school holidays this month,will aim for a round 10 NSD's please Miss E001.

    Another thank you for all of you who have inherited the running of this board.We do appreciate it thank you :T

I spent about ten hours putting my budget together so I really want to make this work. I might have a dental problem pop up though, got a weird cold hurt in my teeth last night, but Im still shooting for the stars.

    25 NSD:

    3 in a row

    6 in a row

    6 in a row

    6 in a row

    4 in a row (cos then its January)

    Oh yeah, I can do this. Best of luck everyone :beer:

    Morning all,

    Another early start here, I have a few hours before we go out so I've decided to spend that time getting organised with several lists and meal plans to get us through December. It is my absolutely favourite time of year and I am normally beside myself with excitement by now. Need to find some of that spirit as it's definitely lacking this year :o

    Anyway, I think I'll set my target at 10 NSDs this month please. I find that the week between Christmas and New Year is useful for NSDs as there is plenty of food about and everyone has plenty to do with new toys/books etc, which means lovely relaxing days at home.

    Thanks to the organisers and updaters for keeping the thread going. Am I allowed to say Merry Christmas yet? :xmastree:

    Thanks to Miss E and to everyone else who is updating the thread:T
    As I made white chocolate and vanilla muffins yesterday, I am off to make mince pies this morning:)
    After all, it is the 1st December and I think it is now safe to mention the Christmas word:snow_grin:p
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.
