Yes, am declaring NSD no 7 and have completed my 3 in a row...
Was very tempted to have two spends though... The first on a fitness app which I then thought wasn't worth it and then a second was a tea at work from nice coffee-shop. No to both so still haven't spent a penny.. Am hoping to aim for four in a row tmrw.. We'll see...
And yes 12 days at work but thank god no nights for the moment. If I can manage 12 days with no spend, would be ecstatic lol..mOne debt in 100 days £384/1264(£865 left)Pay all your debt off by xmas 2014 £276/18864NSD 4 and 4 in a row0 -

Thanks for the update MissE001. It's a massive help. :A
Declaring NSD # 6
Hubby popped to town for couple of shirts for an interview for a work thing. Little man and I stayed at home. So no spends for me. And I don't even have to feel guilty as hubby didn't buy anything for 'us'. :j:j
I sometimes feel like I'm cheating when hubby buys stuff. But he offers I never make him :rotfl: and I so always try and even it out at other times.
Popping to town tomorrow and will probably buy a charm for my new bracelet, but using Xmas money.
Hoping not to spend too much on 'other' stuff.
