    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! :)

    Of course!Welcome aboard Wooftastic! :hello:

    Happy New Year, NSD gang! Our fabulous January cruise is under way - for the benefit of new members we always have a theme each month, and marmite awards themed prizes for all NSD targets met. This month we were supposed to be on a sunshine cruise to forget the winter weather but stupid Igor, thinking that visiting the Land of the Midnight Sun meant twice as much sunshine, has booked us on the Arctic Circle special instead.

    So, I hope you all have your thermal knickers packed (lovingly hand knitted by our very own Knitwitch) and are ready for fun fun fun .......And being a cruise, all your food, drink and entertainment are free so lots of opportunities for NSDs there. Even if it is blooming freezing.....

    (Stalks off to find cabin and kicks Igor on the way out)
    One life - your life - live it!

    Can I sign up please. I used to join lots in early 2014, but forgot to do it in the 2nd half of the year and my misc spending on Amazon & Ebay really ranked up.

    So Please sign me up for 20 NSD's Please.

    I class a spend as anything not included in my YNAB budget, so all direct debits, food & fuel budget and savings do not count.

    My main issue is little bits and pieces for kids and us that are only £5 on Amazon but after 15 of those during a month it can really impact my debt busting potential. THIS HAS TO STOP !!!

    Happy New Year everyone and good luck xxx

    Can I sign up please? I successfully completed the challenge at the beginning/middle of 2014 but lost my way for the second half. I'm not counting DDs but I am including grocery shopping as that can get out of hand at times...Put me down for 15 NSDs and 3 in a row please!

    Wait for me! I've always wanted to do an arctic cruise. 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.

    I'm going to allow myself some sales spending but do need to check through my wardrobes, work out in general what can be ebay'd or taken to the car boot later in the year.

    It's also OH b'day the day before pay day :eek:

    So, I'm going to declare a target of 16 NSD

    I also need wrapping paper for next xmas if it's cheap. Think we have enough cards for next year.
