    Not planning spending anything today. I've brought in my homemade soup and homemade bread for lunch. Dinner will be ready when I get home and I don't need anything else.

    I have bought my son an Ipod but this was his Christmas present which I ordered before Christmas from Pixmania. They failed to deliver so I got a refund and bought him one from Apple instead. So not really a spend.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Can I just ask folks whether you class a day when you buy groceries as an NSD? I know it's up to me how I do it but do most of you class it as a spend day if you just spend your money on frivolities (for want of a better word!) I bought some vitamins on Saturday that strictly speaking we didn't really need so I called that a spend day, but yesterday I bought milk and ketchup and didn't consider that a spend day. What do you all think? Am I doing it right?

    i class anything ive spent money on as a spend day whether its the weekly shop or not. a NSD for me is exactly that not spending a penny
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

    Just postponed my 12p library fine till next time because I didn't have change and the library didn't either - going out tonight though so still might not be a NSD. Drinks are free after 7pm but am going out at 5. Hmm, can I survive on water until then?!
    My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

    Total £4151.44 | £2900.30 of £7051.74 paid off since diary started October 2024.
  • I'm declaring today as NSD no 2/20 - only 18 more to go......

    Kessik - the only spends I don't count are direct debits (so basically just rent, phone and bank loan), everything else counts for me since it's obviously a variable figure!!
