The Marvellous March NSD challenge!!

Didn't nab one yesterday but that's because I was "spending ahead" and setting up the kitchen for the month. I'm actually surprised I spent so little but we now have a bursting freezer and store cupboard and thanks to the meat wholesaler I'll be having plenty of steak and chicken until I'm sick of it
So whilst I'm not off the mark yet I'm all set to avoid supermarket spends (those 2 or 3 item lists that end up costing £20-30
) if it's not in the kitchen we'll have to improvise!
If I'm really really organised I can potentially clear almost two entire debts this month and this challenge will help me get there. Thanks to you all for the support

Hello, thank you for a nice new thread !
My March target is 16 NSD's
and today is NSD # 1
16 is my largest target to date - I think it's do-able. There are 5 weekends in March, so it seems like a long month, if you know what I mean. Hopefully plenty of time to reach the target :rotfl:Early retired - 18th December 2014

NSD 1 for me todayBe who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Well, I didn't quite make it last month, managing 14 out of 16 in the end. The half term week was quite a spendy one, and combined with a very short month, the odds weren't in my favour!
However, I'm reasonably confident of getting one this month. It's a working month, with no holiday and no special events currently planned, so I should manage!
Can't wait for April though, as I'll be off for the bulk of it with Easter holidays. Got quite a few exciting things planned for then.
Anyway, can I set my target at 16 again please!?Because it's fun to have money!
