    Okay, so I have volunteered for the challenge for April so feel free to join me! :D

    The whole point of this challenge is to set yourself a target of potential No Spend Days and then try and achieve it! It can be a little number or a big number, its totally upto you. Its also upto personal preference how to do this - personally I only include NSD where I don't spend anything - including DD - but you can include those if you want! So, I just need a number from you, and you're in the club ;)

    There are 30 days in April.

    Hi. I'm new to this but I'm fed up with being broke so I'm going to jump in and aim for 10 NSDs. Might as well go for it! Thanks.

    I don't - just include my spending. I suppose you can do it anyway you like...but I know my DH doesn't have a clue where his money goes (we each have a weekly allowance;) ) - so I wouldn't include him....he wouldn't see the need to keep track etc...
