Nifty November's NSD Challenge!

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly/monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would
like to achieve during November. To join, just post your personal target and you are on your way!
No Spend Days can really help with being thrifty, with planning spending and with thinking about whether you really want to spend
money on something. If you wait before you buy something, sometimes you realise you don't really want or need it.
Tips for the challenge:
1. Decide on a clear goal weekly or monthly of how many No Spend days you'd like to try and achieve.
If you've never done the challenge before, it's probably better to start with a goal of 10 or 15. 

2. It is fine to exclude necessary expenses eg petrol, groceries, pet food, etc, when it comes to deciding what is and isn't an NSD.
3. It does help to post every time you notch up an NSD ... it's easy to lose track! If you want to keep track of your NSDs in your MSE signature, that can be really motivating too 

4. It also helps to bookmark the thread, it's much easier to find 

5. NSDs are trickier than they seem and easily derailed. It makes the challenge much easier if you notch up as many as you can in the first half of the month.

Most DIY problems can be solved by a combination of spanner, pliers, screwdriver, Allan key and a blade. (Hold it, twist it, cut it!) Very occasionally industrial language, a hammer and an adhesive may need to be added to the mix. (Curse it, hit it, patch it!)1 -

Hello Everyone, like a lot of people, I've spent the last few months evaluating lots of things in my life. I've been really inspired by Cait Flanders and find the whole concept of a no spend year really intriguing. To test the waters, Id love to join your group and see how many no spend days I can achieve in November. I'm going to start with a small 10 NSDs target and see where I go from there. Look forward to contributing and updating with my progress.December NSDs - 2/153
