    Hi all!

    Can I join in this month please?

    Been AWOL the last couple months as moved house and everything was a bit of a muddle. Looking forward to regaining frugal habits and reading about the exploits of Hubert & co!

    Can you put me down for 10 please Marmite and 3in a row?

    Also declaring NSD 1/10 FOR Tuesday.

    Welcome back squanderscouse!

    Moving house can really mess up our spending habits.I hope you're all settled in now.

    Hubert is well and wants to invite you for afternoon today .We'll be having some of Mrs Doyle's yummy egg sarnies and some Eton mess (made by Hubert himself).Cool!

    Well done on getting nsd #1! :j
    Could I join in please? Just missed my April target by 1 so hoping to make 10 NSDs in May.

    Thank you.

    Of course you can!

    I'm glad you didn't use the 'F' word....

    Hi - may I join you in your ventures? I have been retired for a few years now and really need to start budgeting properly - being at home equals spending more money IYKWIM!! I need to challenge myself with the "drip, drip drip" spending pattern and where is better to start than with some NSD's? May I start with 10 NSD's for this month and aim for three in a row?

    Looking forward to sharing everyone's successes. x

    Hi Sewinglady and welcome to the thread and the forum, as I see that this is your first post! :)

    If you have any questions then feel free to ask away.There are no rules in this challenge.By that, I mean that you decide on the rules for yourself.
    For example, I don't include budgeted spends as spends.

    Good luck!
