    Before your loop put this:

    <?php
$last_date='';
?>

    Then inside your loop put

    <?php
$current_post_ym = get_the_time('Ym');
if ( $last_date != $current_post_ym ) {
  $last_date = $current_post_ym;
  $display_date = get_the_time('M d');
} else {
  $display_date = get_the_time('d');
}
?>
<p><?php echo $display_date .':'; ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
