Januaray NSD Challenge 2018

Options
I created this thread as I couldnt see one for December. I dont own this challenge but know others would like to see a January one.

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly / monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to try and achieve during the month of January.
Keep us updated with your progress and hope you all have a great start to the new year.

To join,
just post your personal target and you are on your way.

Tips for the challenge;
1. Decide on a clear goal weekly or monthly of how many No Spend days you'd like to try and achieve

2. Create a list of allowances...What counts as a spend and what doesn't. Keep the list on you so you don't fall of the wagon or make exceptions for everything

3. Keep a tally of how many NSDs you get. See if you can beat your previous amount!

    I think I've found my mojo, it'd been MIA for quite a while, think it was under the sofa :rotfl:

    Hope 2018 is good for you too x
  • Was a spend day today.

    I brought some wrapping paper , 8 rolls to be exact. 25p each even the 10meter rolls in pound stretcher.

    I brought a drying mat for £1 as the pots and pans take up all the room of our drying rack, a thermal sandwhich bag for work and some clips for the freezer.
    2 food trays for upstairs- we eat upstairs and i get so annoyed with crumbs :rant:

    Had some bargains today so don't really mind. Our shopping was cheaper than expected
