Anyway,am here to pronounce NSD#3 :j.
So, on the recommended reading list today are The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. Read those and it will stop you spending money and increase your NSD totals.One life - your life - live it!0 -

I see that I've got a lot of catching up to do...
Is anyone curious about the origins of my username,ha ha?Well you won't believe it,but It actually refers to.......no,I think I'll keep it a secret for a bit longer!
Well today has been an 'oh dear,oh dear,oh dear' day.It was meant to be an nsd,until I decided to see what was on offer at my fave shoe shop,as I was in town anyway.
So I came away with a beautiful pair of suede boots by C-amper.In my defense they were half price.I did ask if they could be put aside until Friday,which was to be my next spendy day,but it wasn't possible.Since I have great difficulty finding shoes and boots I like,I snapped them up.It is however a want and not a need.
Back to the drawing board for me....0 -
elfy
could you put aside the money for zumba at the beginning of the month?Then you could count ithe days that you go as nsds.

Monday saw the first D/Debits of the month go out (as it was the first working day of the month). So I did some other shopping as well as it wasn't an NSD.
Tuesday (yesterday) saw my next regular payment - all of £2.99. As it wasn't an NSD I did some more research on some kit I need for my Spanish walk intending to order - but decided I need to 'nip' to Sp0rts Direct to see their offering first. By then it was too late to walk up (and I'd already been out for a run), so I didn't bother. I also had 3 (second hand, so under £2 each including postage) DVDs in my Amaz0n 'save for later' I'd planned to order so moved them into my basket. After a lot of dithering I put 2 back into my 'save for later', but still couldn't bring myself to buy the last - and I ended up putting all 3 into the Wishlist my kids have access to for when they want to buy me something. So I ended up spending not a penny other than the regular payment
But today I made it to NSD #3
Next planned spend day is Monday as that should be the day of my next D/debit (due to 8th being Saturday), so I'm hoping to grab a few more NSDs before then.Cheryl0 -
