    Hi.... another NSD for me apart from milk which is budgeted for. Got lunch for 2moro too... and Wed, then I'm off til the following Monday. Work is easy to have NSD as in the middle of no-where, no shops so no temptation. My days off will be the test... I've cancelled lunch out on Thurs as I class that as an unneccessary spend, am aiming to do free stuff in June with DD... got a season ticket for Paultons Park so no excuse really.

    Good luck 2moro xx

    Possibly another NSD today - I went to the gym to sort out my direct debit (my 6 month contract had run out) and they asked me to pay cash for this month before the first dd goes out next month (thought I'd got away with that one!!) so don't know whether that counts - although the gym is budgeted for?! :confused:

    On a better note I got a 0% transfer offer from NatWest so I've transferred a good proportion of my dearest % credit card to them :cool:

    Yep anything that you normally pay for and is in your monthly budget is ok. It's all the other little bits, like mags, coffees, chocolate etc... plus anything else you can do without for a month. I'm trying to have as many NSD's as possible and won't spend unless I have to.... good luck x

    Evening All
    Feeling quite pleased, had to take DD to eye appt at hospital £1 parking (budgeted) and then I stopped at shops and ended up buying 2 summer dresses £5.98 (out of clothes budget). No more clothes needed for summer now so must not spend anymore money! Bonus though made approx £120 on ebay this weekend
