    Yesterday (Saturday) was NSD #13, as when I went out for fresh veg that was all I bought :)

    Today (Sunday) was NSD #14 despite being dragged to A1di and BnM by OH who wanted some bits... took my purse and backpack just in case I saw something I couldn't resist, but needn't have bothered :)

    Looking at my records I'm pretty sure I only have 1 more D/Debit due this month, and that this'll be taken on Wednesday. DS1's at work the next 2 days, so I wanted to spend time doing some major housework which should remove the urge to spend. Then if the D/Debit goes on Wednesday I'll also be ordering some bits online and paying 12 months phone line rental up front (saves me almost £60/year), and trying to get into the city for a few bits I need (and hopefully home in time to get a couple of bits locally, although they can wait another week if I'm too late). So potentially Thur & Fri will also be NSDs..... watch this space !!

  • Thank you to soooo many people advising me re inclusions/exclusions in NSD's -it is interesting to see what people include and exclude,and their reasonings..
    So,I have decided that I will finish February the way I have started,(am sure I can still reach target),then from March,NSD will mean "but I still might have bought milk,bread,or petrol today".......

    Mind you,since cw18 mentioned it,my little mind has been ticking over at the thought of buying a bread-maker.I have had 2 bread makers over the years,though not for afew years now.

    Then again,in Scouts,my 10- and 11yo learnt to make bread by hand a couple of months ago.Wonder how they would like a job........

    I wouldn't be without my breadmaker.I've had two Kenwoods in the past.The first one was great,the second disappointing.I have recently bought a Panasonic,and am very pleased with it so far.
    I have made bread myself in the past,and I really enjoyed it,but with a breadmaker I can be busy doing other things.


    For a while I put any money left over from my weekly grocery budget aside at the end of the week.This money didn't count as a spend,and I would use it if I had run out of bananas,yogurt etc.I don't do this any more though.


    Good luck with the new rules.

    but I have completely lost my way this month.

    I think I am up to about 10 NSD I may make it to 14 NSD as I have a Tesco order booked for tomorrow but am going to try leaving my purse at home so that I can't be tempted to buy anything.

    :j

    I have also lost track of my spend so my February report card will say "Must try harder" :rotfl:
