Number 1 for me today as well although I have made plans to spend £132 on some leaflets that need to go to the printers tomorrow so that I can pick them up on Friday:eek:

Hi. Thanks BMF for running this thread. I came up a bit short in May, only achieving 8/10 days but I think that's a big improvement on what might have been. I'll go for another 10. It will be hard but I hear that nothing good comes easy.

I'm really impressed with people's efforts on this thread. Can I ask, how on earth does anyone achieve over 15 NSDs?!? Wow! Tips please!

I'm not going to include direct debits or repayments for the mortgage or utilities or credit card repayments but I will include anthing that I have to hand money over for.

Good luck everybody!

Hope you don't mind my repeating myself, but thought it might help to post these little pearls of wisdom SIZE=1]that'll be the day![SIZE=2 again...or do you think it better in the first post, perhaps with a goodly list of hints & tips ready for next month? Get yer thinking caps on folks---I'm on a roll *enter whip-cracky-stagecoach-cowboy-type of smilie here* [/SIZE][/SIZE]

"As to what you class as 'spends' is entirely up to you. I am fortunate in that my three are all grown, but can well remember the "I need spanish cuttlefish earrings for cooking" or "I gotta take two quid for my materials project" at 8:03 on a school morning! Perhaps in this case :think: you could put 'X' amount into a pot on a Sunday night to make that a spend day, & take the lunch monies out of that during the week? Technically it's what I do for the milkman & window cleaner, cuz I'm never sure when they'll call for their cash & a complete throw-back to when we used to get paid in cash & had various 'pots' for different bills....Aaaah those were the days Sometimes I think we were better organised too, because you saw real money as opposed to numbers on a bank statement
Anyhooz, just a[nother] suggestion.....Good Luck!"Something else I've started doing is..if I know I need petrol or whatever, I try to do other spends on that day too. It might help concentrate the mind to what you really must buy but it still takes a [STRIKE]bit[/STRIKE]lot of willpower to not go mad. I guess it's a case of trying different approaches till you find the one helps you the most.
