The Super September 'Back to School' NSD Challenge!

applejack07

woohoo, yesterday was indeed a NSD, as was today which brings me to NSD #4! I doubt tomorrow will be, as I think I've stretched out my food cupboards as far as they will go, but hoping to keep the damage to a minimum with my meal plan :cool:

:hello: Hi all NSDers

Just seen the posts about August's totals...................Well done Everyone :T:j:T:j:T And September's are looking good already too :T

Well, I haven't had an NSD since the last one but am extremely pleased with myself as I walked to the station on Monday and only spent £99p all day while I was in London :jI had to get a coffee in the visitors centre as I was gasping but getting up early enough to have a decent breakfast meant I didn't get hungry during the day and had time to walk to the station; did get bus back though as I was shattered by then so although it wasn't an NSD it was highly successful for me and shows me I can do it.

Today I caught the bus to work as I'm off to mum's when I finish tomorrow and have got a heavyish bag but is only a couple of minutes walk from work to the station, have my train ticket already but will need to get the bus to hers at the other end.

I won't be able to get online while I'm there but hope to catch NSDs so will let you all know when I get back.

Will miss you all over the next couple of days...............Keep catching them all

NSD # 3 & 4 for me from the weekend. Spend day Monday evening as needed milk for little man, had left it at my mums on Monday. And then yesterday was a mini grocery shop.

Hoping for another today and tomorrow as working so no time to spend.

Hope everyone's well

Hello All,

Decided to put off buying bread and milk until tomorrow as I am too tired! On the plus side it means that this is NSD 6 for me!

Do you let yourself have any allowed spends?A lot of people don't count bread,milk,petrol,prescriptions etc,as they're essential.I've got quite a few things that I allow (prescriptions,all bills and dds etc,swimming,travel (travel card and rail pass),fresh fruit and veg,some essential toiletries).It's what works for me.

Have a lovely time at your Mum's.
I would be tempted to count the bus ride as an essential,as you've got a heavy bag to carry,meaning that it could be an nsd after all.

Likewise ETO,surely buying milk for your LO was an essential spend?
Hope you,OH and LO are all well.

donna dynamo I think that every parent says that,that the children grow up so fast.I don't have children myself,but I appreciate what you say.
I hope that finding a new school goes smoothly.

I'm not sure now that today will be an nsd.I'll report back later.

Yesterday was #3.

I'm not sure what the tattooed guy is doing there,but the following makes an interesting read:



I've often thought that English must be very hard to learn,mainly because of all the irregularly pronunciated words.French has quite a few words that are pronounced the same,but spelt differently,but it's not as bad as English IMO.
