Permission to have an S day midweek??
This is probably a naff question but I am like that when I start something new!! I tend to want to know all the rules and every exception even when they are simple like the No-s diet.
Anyway, here goes. I am travelling to Singapore for a week with my family for a holiday. The family want to go the Raffles Hotel for High Tea. This will be in the afternoon midweek. So it will really be having a snack (or many) and sweet things on an n-day. What do I do?
a) Treat it as an s-day (although not Saturday, Sunday or a special holiday or celebration) and have one less s-day on the following weekend.
b) Not have lunch that day and treat the High Tea as lunch.
c) Go but not eat.
d) Any other suggestions you may have.
I am really hoping you don't pick c. I have been no-sing for a week now and am really liking this approach to food. I could easily get derailed by this Singapore thing because I am a rules kind of gal. I have been pretty good in the past at giving up on things when they get tricky.

Re: Permission to have an S day midweek??
Hi Remy: What part about going to Singapore with your family do you not consider special? Most definitely it is an S-Day! And you don't make up for it by taking away the usual s-days, either.Remy wrote: I am travelling to Singapore for a week with my family for a holiday. What do I do?

In fact, I had been doing no-s for three days and I went on vacation (only to Tucson with my daughter to my sister's house) and I called the whole week an s-week! It did not de-rail me at all because I knew I had permission to do it. I combed the book and the website and believed what I read and believed in the process. It was the best vacation I've had in a long time! Don't complicate it, and: Enjoy yourself!

If there are scones and clotted cream involved, call it an S day.
My metric for special days:
A) How often does this event happen?
(1)Regularly (2)Yearly (3)Once every two years or more.
B) Who is involved?
(1) People I know casually (2)People I consider close friends (3)Near family
C)How meaningful is this event to me personally?
(1)Not very (2)Some (3)Quite a bit
In order for me to call it a Special Day day, it has to score a 7. Using the criteria above, I think High Tea at the Raffles scores at least an 8 and maybe even 9 since I don't know how often you go to Singapore.

Remy,
you have already gotten a lot of great feedback, but if you want more check out the NWS day thread:
http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3439
that being said, if this is a vacation, anyone correct me if I am wroing, it is legit to take every day an S day or just rack up as many N days as you can and not to worry!
Have a great trip!
