The One and Only Oktoberfest NSD Challenge!

fedupandskint

NSD 5 for me today.

Back from a short break and used holiday account money, left over spends are going straight back into that account.

NSD # 3 for me.

Was tempted to pop to the shops this evening for a bottle of red to finish the week. But thought about my NSD and the fact that I didn't really need the wine. and I couldn't be ar**ed to go to the shop.

Hope everyone's had a good weekend.

NSD 3/10 for me today, though as yesterday was much more spendy than anticipated (new glasses) I'm going to have to meet that target soonish.

Hope you all had a nice weekend I feel like this challenge really opens my eyes about what I need to buy and what I want to buy just because I think I could use it ... sometime. Anyway, off for another week of low / non spendings :T

Yes,that's what it's all about! :cool:

Can't believe it's Monday already tomorrow, weather deff on the turn, can suddenly feel a nip in the air, won't be long until I have to think about putting the heating on I think.

Igor has offered to lend you his sparkling new longjohns (worn once) if you're feeling chilly.

Well, marmite, you are indeed a genius. Igor took one look at that photo and shouted just one word....Mummy!

How sweet! Igor is now driving everyone mad,because he's now going around shouting out 'Bork,bork,bork!' all the time.
He and Swedish Chef are inseperable.
Oh,and Igor is also growing a moustache,and is now even more deadly with his Mummy's antique blunderbuss! :eek::eek::eek:


PS 70 nsds so far! :j:j:j

L2B you have a prize on the front page.

Hello,

Thank you nargleblast for pointing me to this thread, if you don't mind I would like to join.

I don't count DDs, bills and any building/builders related expenses because they come thick and fast (finishing doing up the kitchen and bits of the house) and sometimes unexpected e.g. Needing longer/shorter screws, broken drill bit/hammer head etc...really, these have all happened.

And I only count stuff that I do not spend, cannot be responsible for DH and DS. But as most of the household budget runs through my purse I can be pretty confident that not much spend will happen without my knowledge.

I would like to try for 10 NSDs this October, please. I have updated my sig accordingly.

Bagged me an NSD #2 over the weekend. Just yesterday, Saturday was so successful I saved a whole £65 I had budgeted to spend. I was winning. Then we spent it on an unplanned evening out. Now I'm losing!!
