The Totally Awesome August NSD Challenge!

and another number 18 here please Marmite!

Aphidgirl

Not a NSD but still feeling very pleased with myself as I got invited to the pub after work (DANGER!!!), however I had deliberately left the house with only £2 in my wallet and no cards on me.

I went along for a couple of hours, was bought a pint of ale by my workmate and bought myself a packet of crisps and half a lime and soda. Total spend: £1.95!!!

Great result as normally I'd have spent about £8 on drinks (it was an expensive pub) plus everyone got food, so I'd have probably got food too. Would have been a spend of at least £15 had I not left the cards at home.

Not taking cash/cards out is definately the way forward for me :j

I'm up to
13 NSD's
And would like to change my goal to 20
I've forgot to post for a few days but have been keeping track.

Had a spendy day today and yesterday but been on days out,
tomorrow may also be a spending day but as I'm taking a trip to IKEYA I told myself if there isn't anything I need or of use to me, I won't buy it.

Today is NSD#15

Is it really bad that,due to awful weather ever since we returned from holidays,we haven't unpacked the car of enough camping stuff/bags of clothes/tins of food/cooking stuff/teddy bears to fit myself and 4 kids in to go to shops/cinema/supermarkets/other spendy places.:o
Thought so............

NSD #5 -not planned, but the car is on the blink, and all the local garages are booked up, so we're stuck at home ( public transport is very poor here, and very expensive) Also poorly child needed to be at home.

So dinner was again whatever was in the freezer/cupboard. Maybe I will manage my target for August!

Good to hear that you managed not to have a heavy pub spend, Aphid, yes I must say that the one thing that really works for me is not taking out my cards and no more cash than I need if I really must take cash.

Well I have managed my No 12 :j:j:j Which takes me to my target Please can I have my ice cream now . Also please can I up my target to 15 to keep me focused

Thanks all
