I think if you KNOW it comes out on a certain day then count that day as the spend, if you are buying something in a shop on your card and you don't know when it will hit your account then the day you got the goods.
A spend day for the Dragons today - Dr Dragon has been out to get bread and milk (and the EuroMillions!)Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Ok I was rubbish last year with keeping up with this so going to try again.
I'm going for 10 NSD this month which I'm hoping I'll achieve. Today is number two as not been out much but when I'm back at work I'm hoping thats when I'll clock up most.
I'm not counting spending on petrol as I drive a lot in my job so that will never reduce. Not counting regular bills cus again they won't change. Will count spending on lunch food or bits I don't need but end up buying.'Proud to be dealing with my debts'20p savers= £158.00 :T DFW Nerd #1061Nectar points 3514 Boots Ad Card £21.3031/01/10 Loan 1 = £6058, Loan 2 = £8896, Caravan Loan = £12980, HSBC CC = £0 :j Car = £0 :j, Loan 3 = £2490, Overdraft = £0 :j0 -
Blimey. I've got an absolute stinker of a cold all of a sudden so today is another NSD for me.
(Even I can't spend money whilst asleep under a duvet!)

PS wit40iwtwan so long as you count it on one of those days that's all that matters really - although Dragon's criteria is probably how I would work it.Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -
Another NSD for me. i spent some of my Christmas money, but I'm not counting that, it's a gift!

Just had to buy Euro tickets online cause queue in shop was huge and won't get another chance to go in (as am at work) - annoyed now cause I had to transfer £5 into the NL account when only needed £3!
I think I'll withdraw the £2 again or I'll just start doing scratchcards when I'm bored!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

Second NSD for me, not budged from the house again - blooming sinuses :rolleyes:
Nearly bought myself a euromillions ticket online like yourself lilian1977 but have resisted since I've no luck whatsoever and no cash in my lottery account so I would've ended up putting a tenner in so I could play some scratchcards
I'll be spending tomorrow though, there's a few of us going out for a meal should be fun but I'd rather a night in with a bottle of wine and the wii - super fun and way cheaperThe debtWILLbegone - taking it 1% at a time
