  • I've only gone and popped my no spend cherry_party_ :dance: :beer:
    I'd like to officially state that yesterday was a no spend day, nada, zilch, zip not a dime, cent or ickle bitty penny left my purse or bank account.

    Goodness, my first month signed up to this challenge. Can you tell?
    Does it get less exciting as I'm not sure I can maintain this level of excitement ;)

    Actually, just realised I had one yesterday - my husband paid for everything we did. Does that count?

    Lots of people off to a fantastic start! Yesterday was my first NSD - 1 down, 10 to go! ;) I'm hoping for one today too, unless OH wants us to go food shopping. For this challenge I am counting everything other than Direct Debits (e.g. insurance/electricity/sky/internet/phone bill). x
  • Yay, first ever official NSD yesterday :D Spend day today though, bills out and ebay sales to post. But making DH get a full tank today so I can keep everything going out on the same day. :T

    I may have been a little optimistic with my 15 days!! Oops!

    Yesterday was a planned spend day and i only got what i needed to so all good!

    However today i accidentally bought gig tickets (i was planning on getting them just waiting to see which one and forgot about the NSD thing)! So I may have failed already! D'oh!

    Plus my husband is coming home tomorrow and he will need to go shopping for his food (i got mine on sunday, but not his coz he wants to go to sainsburys instead) and this will presumably count as it will come out of the grocery budget which is our money, not just his! Plus i have a voucher for Ask I wanted to use while he was home but it's only for sun-thurs! so it could be another whoops!

    So so far 0/15 but hopefully tomorrow will be better! I may need to reassess and try and pull back on some of my expected spend days!

    Oooh just realised i may be getting some money back today as i got a ticket for something else for someone! Can this cancel my purchase out, it will be more than the one i bought today? (I know, it's cheating i hear you say!)
