    So, Aliliva, did you get that elusive NSD? I got another today so am now on 6.

    Just about halfway through the month now, let's see if we can step up the pace......

    It's a nightmare! I was so close of calling a NSD yesterday...then I got home and realised I was running out of toilet paper and I had to rush to the small Tesco to get it :mad:
    And today is definitely going to be a SD, but it's my last day in this office and I'll have some goodbye drinks and food. :beer:
    Tomorrow I'm travelling for work, tho, so everything I get is claimable :j

    Now you could have crossed your legs for the rest of the day and left buying toilet rolls to today.......or is that taking the NSD challenge a bit too far? :D:rotfl:

    Spent cash on groceries and lunch out. Lunch was at the store deli so reasonably cheap.
    Milk, tea, peanut butter, cleaning supplies.
    Overprepare, then go with the flow.

    Hi All. It has been a manic few days.

    13/4. NSD no11
    14/4 NSD no 12
    15/4 Big spendy day. Paid all the different pots and myself! Also got more petrol.
    Rather cheesed off about petrol. Paid 107.9p at a garage near me. Where my relatives live. I saw it for 102.7p. 4.2p a litre difference. That is £1.26
    More that I paid. Grrrr!

    Gemgem I get your point about the petrol, but how far would you have had to drive to save that £1.26? It might have cost you more than £1.26 to get there.

  • I'm glad I didn't set my goal any higher because spends seem to happen almost every day lately. We drove to the next town over to meet our daughter and fuel was cheaper there so topped off our tank. If it's something we use and it's saving money then it's warranted, challenge or no challenge. I also would like to know why it's cheaper there than here. As gem-gem said...GRRR!:mad:
