Quiet enough evening today... had no plans made for this weekend. The main reason is because I have my car booked in for a full service next Thursday and this may cost anything up to EUR 500 (with Main Dealer).
I don't mind spending money on servicing as it will hopefully mean that it will give less mechanical problems - I intend to hold onto this car for as long as possible.
Anyhow, after walking my two dogs today, I just drifted around the house and felt a strong urge to drive to McDonalds and get a nice takeaway to perk myself up.... but then I remembered how poorly I am doing so far this month as compared to last month in relation to No Spend Days.... so I made some toast instead !! :-)
Pretty happy that the NSD thing helped me stop comfort-eating... for today anyway !! hehe
Held out for a NSD !!

I'm like you about the NSD. I also do what I call No Gas Days as well. Before being on this forum I would have just shopped when I wanted but now have been more frugal about my time, money, and gas. I have also changed my mind about a food purchase when I'm out knowing that I have something at home. When I arrive home, I pat myself on the back for having the sense not to spend the unnecessary money.
I am definitely spending less now that I'm observing No Spend Days and No gas days.
