    @borollan - Exactly! That's the beauty of the NSD challenge. It gets you thinking.

    No NSD yesterday as I needed to nip to Tesco after I realised I had no icing sugar to finish my baking that I had started. Took the opportunity to buy other bits, so was only £9.

    Still on 3.


    That happens to me sometimes, Speky, and it's quite frustrating to realise you don't have one ingredient after you've started something :mad:

    Beanie - you are an inspiration! I managed another NSD yesterday so am on 7/15. Today should be one too (only budgeted groceries) so I'll be halfway going into the weekend. Will spend the weekend mainly up and down the A1 - collecting DD from Newcastle on Saturday and DS from Lincoln on Sunday - Christmas can then begin (after I've ploughed through tons of washing!). Am so excited and actually don't care if we spend on lunch this weekend which is proper naughty but I've missed my babies and can't wait to have them home again :D:j

    I just stood in the kitchen after getting out the stuff for our slow cooker dinner and thought to myself, good, I don't need anything from the shops today

    this is a whole new way of thinking

    so that's going to be 6 NSDs here
    Stop Buying **** We Don't Need :D
