    everyone is doing so well. I have to say the NSD chanllenges are really helping and motivating me. I've hardly spent more than £10 since November, but here's the thing, I don't feel like I've been deprived at all, moreover, I feel enlightened and free. Does anyone else feel like this?

    after moving my overdraft to a 22 month 0% interest free credit card with a 4% charge - have now started to earn cashback on my bills and no £10 monthly overdraft fee :j:j
    so the £10.44 recieved in my bank account today has gone towards a mortgage overpayment
