I don't think anyone else counts that as a spend - the buyer pays for it, so it's not actually your money you're spending

That's also the impression I got.It doesn't count as the buyer pays p & p.FallenArcher wrote: »Can you put me down for 10 days in March please, I have already managed 2

Yes you are quite right, it's not my money:)I don't think anyone else counts that as a spend - the buyer pays for it, so it's not actually your money you're spending

I have a dilema for next week - need to go for an ultrasound at a private hospital about 9 miles from me.
I could get the bus almost all of the way and walk the last bit, then walk home, thus continuing my 10 mile minimum walking per day. The bus would cost £1.50. Is this an NSD since there is already credit on my Oyster card?
If I drove, the cost in petrol and oil would be around £1.50 worth of fuel but would be a NSD as I am not spending anything.
Appreciate that I'm thinking deeply into this but if I am doing the NSD challenge then I am absolutely taking it seriously.0
