    I am going for 18 this month
    For every NSD i achieve i am going to put £1 in a savings jar on my next spendy day so in theory i should save an additional £18.

    Good luck to everyone

    Lots of impressive numbers already, I think everyone has got the NSD bug!

    Still time for more to sign up, don't be shy, we don't bite! Marmite will add you to the Roll of Honour and you can start collecting NSDs. Good luck everyone!

    I'm going with 12 for May please :j :j

    Only managed 7 in April - but then I only joined part way through and didn't have all my pots set up.

    Now I've taken everything out of the bank to put in envelopes, and stuff that is already accounted for (eg so many swimming sessions, or donations for specific meetings etc) won't count. Should be able to do it! :j

    1st of month on a working day = direct debits out of bank = no NSD

    DS1 came home from work last night to inform me a headlight bulb had blown, and (after a mechanic friend of his managed to get the old one out) we discovered it's not one I have in the box of spares I keep in the car. So I routed my walk to Mr T (to make use of coupons before they expired) via a car accessory place and spent £4.95 on a single bulb :eek: Mechanic friend will fit it on Saturday while he's (hopefully) sorting out my exhaust (can smell fumes coming into the car, but at a glance yesterday he reckons it just needs 'nipping up' and there's no actual damage to it) - and once it's confirmed it's the correct bulb (the lady in the shop matched the dead one up to a different 'model number' than mechanic told DS1 to tell me to get) I'm going to get another for my spares box on another spend day later this month.

    I then came home a slightly longer route than necessary, meaning I did a total of 8.6 miles with a backpack of around 4kg for the first 4.25 miles and 14.5kg for the rest (having bought a bit more than I'd planned on!).

    Hoping to keep tomorrow as an NSD, as neither day at the weekend will be (yet another food festival on Saturday, and a continuous credit card payment on Sunday),

    when you say you can't get the images, exactly what are you doing? you need the web address of the image, then click on the insertimage.gif icon and paste it in the same as you would for a link using the createlink.gif icon.

    Thanks,but as helpful as your post was,it still eludes me.Maybe I didn't make it clear just how technologically challenged I am.:o

    So,for the time being-no prizes.:(

    On to better things-time for the update!:)
