    Cool, are you ok to come to the Light at Leeds? Would you be ok with 2 or 4? If not there's loads more showings.

    I have a few questions if someone can help?

    1. I have joined the NSD challenge and also the £365 in 365 days challenge. Do I count my £1 that I save in the latter challenge as a spend?

    2. I see posters referring to spreadsheets all the time and wondered (a) what they are used for and (b) where you find them

    Thanks for anticipated help from you lovely genuine DFWs.:rotfl::rotfl:

    I wouldn't count the £1 as a spend cos you aren't spending it, with the NSD challenge you can make up your own rules to some extent - some people count direct debits/bills, others don't, I for example am not going to count buying the guinea pigs fresh food cos I can't buy it in bulk exactly!

    A few people have spreadsheets, I just use pen and paper cos I'm rubbish with computers.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
