:hello: Hi there all NSDers xx

Stick with it Suzie I was horrified last month how lax I had got at doing this challenge but this month has been a lot better as I appear to be getting back into the swing of it. One thing that has really helped has been (a tip I learnt from here) leaving any cash or debit cards at home when I don't need them (going over to a friends or on way to and from work) as that means I don't just 'pop into the shop on the way'. It has really helped as a few times this month I have been craving a quick 'sugar fix' or 'something to munch at work that's nicer than I have got in the cupboard' and I haven't been able to do it as I have no cash

That said I am up to number 9 today, really can't believe how much better this month is than last month . Coming in here really helps; especially on days I have spent as it keeps me in touch and focussed.


See you all soon, I know I am spending tomorrow but I have allocated a tenner and that is all I'm taking with me. May be too tired to get on here when I get back as I will have been up all day after working all night but if I don't see you all tomorrow I will see you all on Monday (which will also be spendy but am planning to keep it as low as possible)

Can't work out how to put a picture on on it's own but there's a pic on this Wiki link.

I've actually got two of these.The handle is rigid though.Not using them was just a case of me being fussy,because of little bits of tea-leaf getting through into the cup.Using a smaller cup solves the problem of the tea being too weak.I'm a big cup person.

Hope you get a good sleep,when you finally do go to sleep.I remember how rubbish I felt on the odd occasion when finishing nights that I would not sleep until the following evening.This was after 12 hour nights too.Do you work 12 hour shifts yourself?I haven't done nights since 2006 though,and I definitely don't miss them.

suziebabe don't be too hard on yourself.

t2rry have a fab holiday! :j

rockm87 maybe time to put your foot down?Just curious-why do you go with him?

Shockingly,Friday and Saturday have both been spendy days. :eek:

The excuse for yesterday was that I did an online shop,and got 10% off,plus no postal/delivery fees.I've got my sensible hat back on again,so today should be #13/12a.

I might manage an update today,but got lots on,so it'll be later.

The front page is up to date,and we have a brilliant total of 171 nsds!!!

Happy Sunday fellow non spendy peeps!

Interesting thread. i try and follow the idea but recently its been less no spends and more late night bargains. which I dont mind as i would rather have 5 days where I have got reduced shopping and 5 no spend than more no spend days but i have paid full price for stuff (therefore spending more) I like the idea about not taking money to work. I take a card with me because there is a charge if i spend under £10 at work and i wont be doing that !

I lost track while we were on holiday as OH and I took turns to pay for things! Friday was a NSD As shops were closed due to it being a bank holiday so that was definitely NSD #4 and I'm claiming early for today as I'm not going out again so I'm up to NSD #5 back to it properly now so I get up to my target!
