    I'm going to aim for a little target this month
    only because it's so close to christmas and I need
    to get the final few presents sorted out.

    So I'm going to aim for 10 NSDs
    if i may?

    This time I'll write down in my diary when i spent & when I had an NSD;
    sometimes I'll know I've had an NSD but I don't know when , most often or not lol

    Can I sign up, please? I'm going to aim for the 20 NSDs that I didn't make last month (purely through lack of organisation and a few unavoidable spends). I'd also like to aim for 5 in a row for this first week (Sunday - Friday). I'm including any spends that aren't direct debits since mine all go out on different days (thankfully, early on in the month).

    I'm new to this, so I'll try for

    7

    please!

    I'm counting any cash from my wallet/my current account/joint account as a 'spend', direct debits/standing orders and diesel don't count as spends. Everything else does, really.
