    Going to up my target by 2 so please put me down for 17 NSDs

    As I now shop using a list, I am also going to set myself a personal challenge of
    'Only buying what is on my list'

    This part of shopping I find very difficult to do. I set off with good intentions and fail miserably. (my loss - supermarket's gain) Therefore, recognising where I fail I am going to build in an extra sum of £5 for each shop to spend on worthwhile YS as I find these hard to resist.
    Hopefully that by identifying my personal addictions and then trying to build a strategy to cope I may have more chance of succeeding.

    Thank you marmite for the new thread!

    I am SO keen for a safari trip! I've never seen cheetahs or leopards (or penguins for that matter) in the wild so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled!

    I'd like to put myself down for a target of 12 please!

    :hello: Hi all February NSDers

    Wow!! A proper hot safari this month :D, Let's hope that Hubert has got over his menagerie collecting impulses or who knows what we will be smuggling out in the Tardis:eek:

    Well, I'd like to go for 16 again please, I need to keep spending to a minimum as I didn't have any overtime in December so it was a low pay slip on 25th:( but also Feb is a short month so that's good:)

    Good luck to all and thanks for the new thread Marmite xxx

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    I'm in again this month please. I'll aim for 12 NSDs this time, it would be great to have some of the entertainment and food budgets left over at the end of this month to put towards the debt.

    I got paid yesterday so my month starts now! Best of luck to the other contenders :)
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D

    Sounds like a good plan. :)
