    Can I please join. I have been reading/lurking across 2014 and thought I will give it a go. Have been practising over Christmas. Last spent some money on the 24th December. (Going to go and get some petrol tonight so that I have a full tank!)
    Would like to go for 15 days with 4 in a row.
    I am not going to include any spending from our joint account e.g essential bills and weekly shop etc. Just what comes out of my personal account - going out, pub, clothes shopping etc.

    Can I join please? I did this a couple of years ago by myself and it was surprising how much it helped to curb my impulse spending! Could you please put me down for a target of 12 NSD's for January?

    I hope that there are not too many sore heads this morning.Igor's parsnip and mildew champers has quite a kick on it....

    Who would like scrambled eggs for breakfast?We also have some smoked salmon,toast,porridge or cereal.There's tea and coffee and a Buck's Fizz for anyone who needs the hair of the dog...:)

    I would like to point out that this lovely repast is edible,thanks to little old moi.

    PS Igor is still in bed nursing a hangover.Too much of his own champagne. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning!

    Please can I sneak in before you set sail??

    I'm aiming for 12 no spend days with 4 in a row.

    I'm not counting direct debits/standing orders etc but I will count any occasion where I open my purse (I hope that makes sense!)

    Fingers crossed! :)
