  • Everybody seems to be doing fabulous! Well done!

    Got number 8 yesterday, but fallen off the wagon a little bit and had spendy days either side :mad:

    Already spent today and had to buy breakfast in work as in a mad rush with school run etc this morning, but aiming for 9 and 10 Thursday and Friday.

    NSD15/15 and 4 in a row today :j :j :j

    I so nearly didn't make it as I brought what I thought was my lunch but actually turned out to be a veg sauce to work.... I didn't cave in and buy anything and ruin my last chance at 4 in a row though...

    (Has anyone ever thought they take this challenge too far? How far is too far? )

    Reporting in with NSD number 12.

    ab_saver. Talking about taking things too far......I once spilt a few tiny sweetener tablets over the kitchen work surface. I wasted several minutes hunting them down and trying to cram them back in the plastic dispenser....for goodness sake! They were less than a penny each!

    You can take the whole MSE thing too seriously you know!

  • My excuse is that the food options at work are expensive and the food isn't anything special - a c0stalot and a subw@y... So for reasons of health and wealth I almost always bring my own (and it keeps me from buying too much coffee!!)

    The thing is I could afford it if I wanted, but I'm too stubborn to back down!

    I feel guilty at buying coffee and sandwiches at commercial outlets because they are ridiculously expensive.

    Today is NSD number 13 for me, definitely not unlucky!

    3 more NSDs for me - Tue, Wed, and today. I'm declaring early today as I'm heading straight home after work.

    All in all 14 out of 15 target, almost there!! Sadly Fri and Sat won't be NSDs but hoping for Sunday (and possibly Tue next week).

  • wow ab_saver. Impressive :)

    I am not reporting in without a NSD :( I am also aware of needing 4 more NSDs to reach target when there is only 6 more days to go. :eek:

    I better get a wiggle on :)
