    As I am at work on Saturday I have no excuse whatsoever for not getting a NSD that day. I leave my purse at home and take my own food in.

    Fiendishly cunning my dear Nargle. :money:

    Same to both work on Saturday and bringing own food. I do like to have an emergency fiver though...

    marmite Can I start in here from Wednesday as that's the start of my 'financial October'? (not that Wednesday will be an NSD!)

    An emergency fiver is always useful to have,discretely tucked away,of course...

    No probs ab_saver.After consulting 'The NSD Manual of Rules,Regulations and Risque After Dinner Jokes' (17th edition),I found in Chapter 109,Section 31a,Subsection K8.93, a specific allowance,in view of such a need.And after much knitting of brow and numerous cups of tea I decided to allow your request.I might add that I also knocked back a double crab apple vodka martini from Nargle's 2015 stash (don't tell her) to help with this devilishly knotty problem and then I had to lie down.But,hey ho,it's all in a day's work. :)
    Hic!
    The October challenge can be brought forward just for you,to start on Wednesday.Just let me know when your month finishes too.
  • My month finishes Thursday 27th - conveniently when I'm on holiday so can avoid confessing the spends! I plan to get all those NSDs in before I go!

    Thanks for your most comprehensive search of the regulations - many of my spends manage to occur between payday and the start of a new month...
