Counting today as a NSD, so I’m on 2 so far
(I’m excluding bus fares and groceries in my counting. Definitely helped stave off the 3pm trip to the coffee shop with the rest of the office knowing I was on a streak of NSD for the day)3 -

Hi DizzyImp,Dizzy_Imp said:Still haven't managed a NSD what with village fetes, emergency cat food and Tesco delivery in the first three days! I have get my frozen raw dog food tomorrow so it won't happen then either! Gah!
I think you could could exclude emergency cat food (an essential to stop the cat gnawing on your leg or leaving home😉) and the groceries delivery (essential, planned, budgeted for etc). 😊 This challenge is more about making you stop and think about unconscious and unplanned spending.

Decluttering and organising has taken on a completely new ‘meaning’ for me since joining these boards - it’s like a free upgrade to my house 😊Saver-upper said:Today is NSD #4.
