    Hi all

    Dropped in and out through last year but going to fully commit this time, please can I be put down for 17 days with exceptions being direct debits and post office as I have to go there most days for work!

    Good luck to everyone and happy new year

    Welcome back Saver.The.Taste :wave: :) and well done on NSD number 1 :) :j:j

    I am committing to and claiming today as an NSD! Shops aren't open and I'm working later today anyway, so can't be tempted out.

    So it's 1/12 for me :)
    Save £12k in 2022 = £3705.97/ £7,500 (49%)
    Save £12k in 2021 #76 = £11,857.21/ £10,000 (118%)

    Fantastic stuff delta13 :) :j:j :)
  • Happy New year everyone. Was planning on a NSD, but decided to get a top up shop today to save me later in this week. I popped in to Home Bargains and B and M, always get my tinned stuff and cleaning products from there I always find it so much cheaper than anywhere else.

    Thursday and Friday will definitely be NSD, no plans to go anywhere other than work. It’s running club, but I decided to include that as planned spends so it doesn’t derail me from a NSD! If I’m lucky might also squeeze in a NS weekend, but we will see!

    Good luck everyone x

  • My first forum post and first ever challenge.

    Calmed down my spending last year and saved 9K, need to get another few K together to buy a house. My biggest issue is buying stuff here and there (often whilst at work nipping out to get a brew!) so NSD challenge will help for sure.

    January I am aiming for 18 NSD!

    1 down, 17 to go :)

    Hello savequidalot - I am in a very similar position to you, re needing to avoid non-essential spending. I only joined this thread last month and already it has helped me heaps. Good luck with the rest of January's spends. And well done on your first NSD today!! :T
