Marvellous March NSD Challenge

Options
This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly / monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to try and achieve during the month of January.
Keep us updated with your progress and hope you all have a great start to the new year.

To join,
just post your personal target and you are on your way.

Tips for the challenge;
1. Decide on a clear goal weekly or monthly of how many No Spend days you'd like to try and achieve

2. Create a list of allowances...What counts as a spend and what doesn't. Keep the list on you so you don't fall of the wagon or make exceptions for everything

3. Keep a tally of how many NSDs you get. See if you can beat your previous amount!

    Sure welcome aboard!

    Today for me isn't really a non spend day my work closed early due to weather and I took a uber home as I wasn't sure if buses were running. I don't know whether to count it or not

    I'll update the member list tomorrow but good luck everyone. Hoping tomorrow is an NSD I mean... we're pretty much snowed in so I doubt i will spend.

    I almost just purchased some ear stretchers (I'm really into body mods) but closed the page down before clicking "buy now" . I'll wait until payday and on a say I spend .
