    Marmite, thanks for the thread and keeping me focussed.

    I love all those prizes. Is it cheating to start off with a low target so I can grab them all en-route? LOL :D

    I will aim for 12 in February and 3 in-a-row. Sad moo that I am I just checked out my NSDs for February last year and I only managed 6 :eek: .

    As per last month, no work expenses or d / ds are included but all other spends budgetted or otherwise are.

    Can't wait to board one of the jeeps and to feel the air rushing through my hair. I wonder if we will see any giraffes. What type of lodge will we be staying in? Hope it has a back up generator - because if the electricity goes down we could become fair-game!

    Lodge? Lodge? This is the No Spend challenge, I'll have you know, and the NSD gang are hard as nails - we will be sleeping in the trees. Unless we encounter a gang of marauding giraffes, in which case Igor! Start packing the tents and the sleeping bags!

    If we pitch the tents near a watering hole we can watch the animals drinking. Mind you I am going to want to stay away from those 'water horses' I hear that they can be very temperamental.

    There will be giraffes aplenty!
    The lodge that we are staying in is called 'Warthole'.Apparently it's just like the royal lodge 'Treetops',but caters for the riff raff....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    They do have an emergency generator,which is linked up to a bicycle,so we're in luck. :cool:
