    I'm going to start with a lower target this month as I know there are some spendy days to be had, and a house move to prepare for (sometime in the near future!) so I'm going to go for 10 NSDs to start with this month and aim for 4-in-a-row

    Count me in again, going for 12 NSD's this month which will be tricky as we are on holiday for a week in November too.

    Also aiming for a 3 in a row too :)

    Oooo,you are well trained!You couldn't give Igor a pep talk,could you!Just so you know,Igor is Ennessdee Towers' resident cook.He has a very interesting style of cuisine ie it's usually inedible.I wouldn't say that to his face though - he's got a very sharp set of chef's knives. :eek:

    Thanks Nargleblast!Have they put you in charge of the fireworks then?

    PS welcome to all the newbies! :j:j

    I'm going to go for 15 again in November.

    Going to change my tactics this time and set aside a grocery budget so it doesn't count as a spend during the month (unless of course I go over budget:()

    That's what I did. Not only did I achieve more NSDs, but I kept within budget! :)

    Given I have only a few weeks until my wedding, and many things to buy in readiness for it, and many things to buy that I probably have not yet realised are necessary, I shall reduce my target this month to an achievable 10 NSD's please Marmite
