I want to join this but the problem is I go to Uni 5 days a week and I have to pay a toll charge do I have to count these as I won't get many if I do but it's the cheapest way to Uni.

hiya i am fairly new to the NSD challenges nikki2002 but others i see put in a jar when they've been paid such regular necessary expenditure so it doesnt count to the NSD even though you have kinda spent that day iyswim ?

i havent included petrol this month in my NSD but i think i am going to put an allocated sum in a pot for this as its not to me a real spend as i have to drive 40 mile round trip to work and there is no public transport or alternative to this

having set NSD targets is a real motivator to keep the purse strings tight

Never thought I was going to see a NSD ever again at the rate I've been going :eek:.Had visions of coming here every few days for the next 10 years to say "nothing to report":rotfl:.
However,have now bagged NSD #4.
I am counting on lots of NSD's after Christmas.:cool:

Evening all

Reporting NSD # 9

I'm pleased with that, as I normally spend at least something on Tuesdays

However, not so pleased to report I've got a cold. I think I caught it on Saturday when I did a day trip to that cruise ship. An old bloke sneezed on me..... I wasn't happy at the time, and I'm even less happy now !

Well done Saver-upper for not giving up - it takes a strong will to hang in there when the going gets tough. 4 NSD means at least one day in every 4 was a spend-free - quite probably better than when you first joined?


Pleased to report NSD 11, tomorrow probably won't be one.

Hey,Nikki2002-2008:why don't you join us now?Maybe just make a smaller (pro-rata) target.This could be your "just practising" month,ready for the real deal next month.
And welcome aboard :santa2:

Morning all,

I appear to be well and truly stalled on #2. It's been crazy busy and something new and unexpected has cropped up every single day so despite my preparations nothing has gone to plan. However, in new developments, I used "no" as a complete sentence yesterday when I turned down a last minute invitation that sounded fun but would have been too stressful logistically (there was a "thank you very much" in there too). I felt very proud of myself as usually I'd be tying myself in knots trying to get it all done.

Right, must get ready for the day. Have a good one! :snow_laug
