    Hola,

    calling today in as NSD #1 for November. It was a spendy weekend as one of my tyres decided to have a puncture :eek:, which meant me shelling out £115 on two new tyres. They were nearly worn out so not such bad timing, but the state the car is in, I hope I get my money's worth before the engine conks out.

    How annoying,but better safe than sorry.

    NSD Number 2 today! Can I get my 3 in a row so early on? I hope so!

    Well,if you want it badly enough....:p

    savingdad be grateful for small mercies! ;)

    zenshi a lot of us have allowed spends.Maybe it's something you should think about.For example,I have just decided to treat days when spends stay within budget as nsds.Everything is budgeted with me,so it's quite straightforward.
    Other examples...these don't count for me:

    -prescriptions
    -travel.I have a travel card.
    -all bills and similar payments.
    -swimming (subscription) and my Pilates class.
    -any emergency payments or items.
    -the odd bottle of water.

    I do this challenge mainly to keep in check my habit of impulse buying.It's under control most of the time.

    Some people allow petrol,bread,milk etc.

    I'm sure others could give more examples.

    :hello: Evening all NSDers xxx

    (On the right! Not been there for a while)

    Just checking in to say I have number 2 in the bag.:D

    Having checked It looks as if I can do electric, shopping and petrol on Wednesday but need to check if a friend wants me to pop to hers after work on Wednesday morning and if so may put it off until Thursday. I can't check if the voice mail I got was from her until the morning as I left my phone at home while rushing to get out (I overslept:eek:). Oversleeping also meant I didn't have time to eat before I left for work:( and the other night person's biscuits look very tempting..............but I am determined not to waste an NSD buying any to replace them so the thread is good for my waistline too :j. Funnily enough I don't actually feel hungry really, have had a couple of black coffees and a few herb teas and some water. I think I am probably recovering from overindulgence while at my mum's :rotfl:


    Please don't offer to send Igor over with any offerings, I don't think an empty stomach could cope and would probably go into shock:eek:

    See everyone tomorrow xxx

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    NSD March 15/20
    NSD April 17/15
