    Good evening NSD gang! Spendy day for me, what with various huge sums leaving my bank account today, and things like MOT happening this week too...but I will get some more NSDs, I promise!

    Good to see some more newbies signing up. The team who run the thread (MissE, EvertheOptimist and Sazzie) will, I am sure, roll out the red carpet for you all soon. As they probably have a bit going on in their other worlds, I thought I would have a quick look back and do a resume of what we have so far, that should make it easier for when they do the official update.

    So, I think, where we are now is as follows:

    So we have 29 NSDs already festering away in the Cauldron of Doom!

    If I have made an error on someone's figures, please say. Those who are still on zero NSDs - don't be downhearted, it often takes about a week before I start clocking up the numbers!

    Evening all. Just cooked Thai green curry for dinner, used a proper paste as it goes further than sauce....well apart from it nearly blowing my head off it was rather nice. OH enjoyed it and even ate all the veg in it which is a minor miracle. Still one portion left, might brave it for lunch tomorrow.

    No NSD here, picked up sauce and two jars of turkey curry sauce in £stretcher, not sure I really needed either today but job done now. Back on le wagon tomorrow.

    Hi.

    I'd like to join this challenge please.

    I'd like to go with 12 NSDs for my first challenge.

    My outgoings are car insurance (1st), mobile phone (20th), car finance (12th), board to my mum (payday - every 4th friday) & petrol (every other sunday). I don't count these as payments and will only be classing these as non NSD if I buy something else - like unnecessary treats for myself.

    So far this month - 1st - spent £1.30 on food for dinner for myself.
    2nd - NSD - in fact, was actually £2 up due to beating the boyfriend and his family at Crash. I've only ever played twice and came out with more money than I started both times - they're starting to regret asking me to play :D
    3rd - NSD

    So currently 2/3 NSDs and 2 towards my target of 12.
    Debts (as of 28/10/15)
    Mum: Start £3426.00 Now £2655.00 22.5% Car (on finance): Start 13823.60 Now £8728.59 36.85%
    Current Debt Free Day: 12/1/2019

    Goals:
    £2000 emergency fund £800/£2000 40%
    £5000 House Deposit £62.09/£5000 1.24%
    Car Finance Settlement Fee As of 28/10/15 £0.00/£7152.18 0%
