    Hiya.

    Just to let you know that NST is Ninja Saving Turtles.

    It is basically a challenge run in the DFW section each month.
    It was started by a person called Ninja Saving Kat and when she left to go travelling (after defeating her debt demons), the group carried on with her basic rules.

    Hope that helps with the dictionary.
    :)

    P.S: Got to remember some of these for later.

    MBNA is a provider of credit cards with temptingly low rates that suddenly after a few years rocket into the territory of the eye-watering.

    The numbers are the number that a particular person is in a particular money saving challenge, quite often. People sign up to agree to the "rules" of a challenge and get given a number according to how far down the list they've signed up.

    HTH! (Hope That Helps!)
