    Well done short bird and jammy dodger I totally forgot when I said I'd had an NSD yesterday that I put in an online food order! Brain had a bit of a blip there. I'm hoping for 18 today. I am going to have at least one more non-NSD before the end of the month so I won't reach 20. Next month maybe

    It's a pleasure jammy dodger, I love this thread :) I've been running it now just over a year and it's interesting how the numbers of people taking part has really fluctuated - in January this year we had 36!! It was a bit mad actually and I had to rush to keep up with the updates :) but I think people in January are emerging from the Christmas/New Year craziness and feel they need to pay down debt/save pennies/stop drinking/lose weight/get things more on track etc, so they'd be more likely to join this sort of challenge ... It's (comparitively) quiet at the moment but I think people are probably gearing up for the festive season with some winter sales already starting. I love this group, I find this challenge so helpful myself, if I want to buy something but I'm going for an NSD I put the purchase off and sometimes that's all you need in order to realise you didn't need/want that thing anyway. Plus I plan ahead more. Anyway not sure why I'm saying all this, just wanted to say I really enjoy the challenge, hope you all do too xx :)

    Ditto cathybird  i  have  a   "virtual"  basket   and when  im good  let  it  linger  there   for  a  while    and  find  I  dont  actually   need  it ...Im a  bit  of  a  yarn  - aholic  but have been  very  strict  with myself  this year  ,  not  having  wool   festivals  to    attend  has  helped  too  
      life  gets  in  way  sometimes  and  not always  able  to  post   NSDs,  but  for  many   this  thread  certainly inspires  and  encourages  x
