    Reporting another NSD for me today. I am quite chuffed with myself and I know to the majority of people it would sound very sad but to manage a whole day at work without going and buying lunch, a frothy coffee or a diet coke is a huge achievement for me :T

    It's not sad at all.You've got to start at some point (if that's what one of your goals is),so well done! :j:j

    No NSD for me today as DH took me to Tesc* and decided he "REALLY NEEDED" diesel cleaner for the fuel tank in the car ???? We were there literally as the shop was closing and he still managed to sneak in a spend :mad:

    Do you include all his spends as part of the challenge? Surely,it was his decision to buy it,not yours,so why count it? ;)

    Oops was meant to be a NSD but had to dash to Mr S as DH announced at 11.30 that I would have to feed an extra two people. So far just 1 NSD.

    Emergency spend? ;)

    2 done, I am a bit raging that I need milk today, otherwise nothing so I might switch to fruit tea incase I buy kitkats or something LOL

    A lot of us don't count milk as a spend.That way,when you nip out to get the milk,you won't give in to chocolate or crisp cravings,because that would be a spend. :p

    Bagged NSD number 2 yesterday which also means I have achieved the first in my [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]in a row[/COLOR] challenges

    If I can get myself organised, the weekend should be a total spend free one but we will see

    The first 'in a row' winner! :j:j
    Not sure whether to count today... Hubby got his hair cut this morning (only time he could get it done at the cheapest place around before work on Monday, and his job requires that his hair is cut so not a luxury) I had given him the money out of my weekly cash budget when I did my shopping on New Years day (and I also counted it on that budget on my signature too.)

    I'm torn 50/50
    We have spent money today, but it was a budgeted for and money set aside out of the budget knowing that it had to be today. Gah.

    Could the haircut be an emergency spend,so not count?

    Well yesterday ended up a NSD as Dr Witch paid for everything :beer: and then having fallen and spent this morning (and half of yesterday!!) in bed I am claiming today as well - so that is 3 and 3 in a row please!

    (((Knit Witch))).I hope you're feeling better.

    I called a NSD as soon as I poked my nose out of the door to walk the dog - far too cold. As a result of me being cold and sorry for myself the poor dog only got a short walk and is now restless, so I'm going to have to take her out again in a bit. I have just lit the fire and was hoping to spend the rest of the day lounging about in the warm with a book *sigh*. I should have been made of sterner stuff this morning and walked her the normal route!

    NSD 2/15 for me today :)

    Did you make it out the door?I have visions of the wee dog with its back paws tightly crossed...
    I am proud to declare 3 NSDs and 3 in a row :T Great start to the new year! :p

    Great stuff butterfly! :)
  • NSD 3/18 today!!!!! That's also 3 in a row.....lets hope tomorrow is number 4!
  • [STRIKE][/STRIKE]We are a scintillating 71 nsders,and have snagged,bagged or grabbed an enormous 86 nsds! :j:j:j

    Igor is proposing that we head to the bar for a wee snifter.It has karaoke as well,and Igor is a big fan. :eek: Can't sing for toffee though. :(
    I'll bet you a tenner that he'll be belting out 'Hey Big Spender' whilst snazzily sashying away in his favourite purple and orange sequined spandex jumpsuit before the night is done...:rotfl::rotfl:
  • You can't miss him.He's short (4 foot 6),squat and has a lop-sided walk.He also always carries his chef's knives with him.

    Is that the place in the slate mines? Looks fab, I'd love to go but don't quite see it as OH's thing. Perhaps we could do a NSD outgoing there Nargle?
