    It's up to you what you include as a spend and what you don't - see the first few posts on the first page for ideas.

    For example, I don't include all the individual days direct debits come out my bank account - I transfer money on payday and count this as my spend (I have 19 all spread over different days, so I'd never get anywhere!) but other people do.

    There are tricks to gaining extra NSDs - eg if you have bus fares every day, put the money aside on a Monday so that would be a spend day, but the rest of the week wouldn't.

    Some people don't include essentials like petrol and say a weekly shop, while others do. Others include everything they spend .... it's really up to you and to help you cut down on the areas where you "waste" money (I was a nightmare for buying a Star*bucks in the staff canteen every day!). HTH:)

    No. 4 please

    I have followed my mother's day tradition of staying in and avoiding supermarkets (incase I trip on a bunch of flowers and break my neck), plus I cycled about 25 miles yesterday so I can hardly move.

    I may run out of milk, but I have wine :beer:

    Lots of love to all those folk who no longer have a mother (Tis a tough day)

    Evening all, just flying in to report am now on 8 NSDs!

    BigMumma - missed St Paddy's day rave up, what a booger! Do you think slowlyfading would mind if we all gatecrashed her wedding dressed in green? But first, we ought to celebrate the Spring Equinox next week. Any ideas? (Igor, stop looking at that trampoline.)
