Morning everyone


Day 2 of the cruise, mmmm what's for breakfast?


NSD number 2 for me. OH is in work today, so I have no car and not on a bus route to go to those shops


Have a great day

Hi, I'm a little late to the party but would still like to join in, please

Aiming for 15 NSD in January - not ready to aim for so many in a row as I am totally disorganised at the best of times!

Spent nothing yesterday so I already have one day under my belt! Today a couple of Direct Debits have come out of the account so I will count today as a spend day and will pop out and get anything needed to tide us over to Monday. Doubt it will be little more than milk as the cupboards are heaving due to my overbuying of Christmas goodies and foodie gifts that we have received!:o

Breakfast buffet is now being served in the Stuffyermush Cafe on deck 7 - and I am pleased to announce Igor and Swedish Chef have nothing to do with the catering as they are also on holiday with the rest of us.

Today we will call in at the Shetlands so we can all pick up a nice Shetland woolly jumper - we are going to need it as there is a cold weather front a-coming! For those who are not planning to go ashore there will be a gin rummy tournament in the saloon bar. No, Swedish Chef, that does not mean a competition to get as much gin and rum down your neck as possible. It's a card game.

And Hubert........I know I said about picking up a little woolly jumper, but I'll say this now......leave the sheep alone!

I need to join in, I haven't done it for the last couple of years but this is part of my New Years Resolution, along with Grocery Challenge, dieting, growing more etc etc. The new me is about to emerge.

Aiming for 15 NSD this January.


Not going to count DD's which are already set up, going to count the things I have to go out and buy plus personal items bought on the net.

Good Morning.


NSD1 for me yesterday. I am working today and have fetched lunch with me, no intention of spending any money today. Will update later.


Have a good day all.

Id really like to push myself for NSDs in 2015! Really need to be more focused on not frittering money away and getting my savings on track.

I think I should kick off with 8 NSDs for the month so will add that to my signature.

My first NSD of the year was yesterday as we just went to visit MIL and straight back.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi everyone, a little late to the party this month but I'd love to join in again... thanks marmite for keeping us all going! I was rubbish at updating last month but managed to exceed target with 11 NSDs. For January I'm aiming for an ambitious 20 NSDs - with #2 already in the bag. Good luck all!

I'm claiming my 2nd NSD for today already. Reason being I'm still sick and ain't crossing the door Well apart from going to the doctors later on.

I bought some Skechers last night off Sports Direct, but that's not counted as a spend day as hubby paid for them
Well he had tried to get me them for Christmas but they didn't have my size, so he said if I saw them in to get them. He ended up buying me 2 pairs lol as they were on sale:T A late Christmas present for me:p:D

I must literally be the only one without an NSD on January 1st...

Nope, I didn't get one either, thanks to sports wear shopping and a few beers up the pub in the evening (didn't go out NYE).

Light is hopefully at the end of the tunnel for our DFW journey this year, but then it's house funding and we're rather late to the game on this.

That's great kerri.:)

Today will be a spend day as I need to get some milk in, but then it should be freewheeling once hubby has has his hair cut tomorrow (grumble grumble )

Have you given any thought to some allowed spends?A lot of us have them.For example petrol,milk,bread,budgeted spends,prescriptions etc.I also don't included all bills and DDs,public transport (travelcard),swimming (subscription).I mainly do this challenge because,at heart,I'm a hopeless impulse buyer.
Buying milk in your case today could be classed as an emergency spend...seriously.
Having some powdered milk in can be very useful.
And hubby's haircut...surely that's him spending,not you,so maybe it doesn't count after all?

Just a few ideas for you to ponder about ...
