    Right i'm back on track this month. January was a washout, used all my savings etc but i'm hopefully gonna be right back on track!

    Put me down for my usual 8 NSD please. Today will be a spendy got Slimmingworld tonight but hopefully tomorrow will be my first NSD!

    Good luck all
    Sxx
  • Today the first day of Feb will be my 1st NSD of the month, had my spend on the last day of January so could start the new month off with my 1st.

    Had a little celebration, because I got the job I interviewed almost 3.5 hours in total over two interviews for, yehhhhhhh. Don't start for 8 weeks, as I have to give notice, but it is only 10 minutes from my house instead of the 40 minutes I now drive, which will save me loads in petrol. Salary is the same, but I get bonuses which will take it up a little, but the big bonus is lesssssssss petrol:money:. Helping the planet and my bank balance:j

    and giving you an extra hour a day of 'me' time as well - that's always a fantastic bonus :D

    Congratulations on getting the job :T :beer:

    Sorry you’re feeling a bit down. There’s no point in looking back and thinking about how much money you’ve wasted, I’d be permanently depressed if I did that. Pick yourself up and resolve not to do it again, small steps is the way to do it. (((hugs))) xx


    That's better, all up to date now :D

    See you all later

    Hi all, I really need to join this challenge. Had the minor lb moment last summer, then the sledgehammer lb moment after Xmas. Where on earth has all our money gone?!
    Kept all my grocery receipts for jan and although I was being frugal, I visited the supermarket 18 times :eek:
    So i will count every credit card and cash transaction as a spend, but not direct debits or debt repayments.
    As it's half term this month, could you put me down for
    6 NSD for FEB
    Make £2020 in 2020 £178.81/£2020
