NST April 2018: April Fool's Challenge

misstara

Welcome to NST April 2018, the April Fool's challenge.

Aim for at least 15 NSDs. Usual exceptions apply, you won't lose a NSD for ys items, petrol or medical expenses.
Pay to your debt or savings first and live off the rest.
Report in every day. The daily support from this thread will keep you on track
Interests - is there any hobbies that you'd like to take up or perhaps an old hobby that you'd like to start again. This is the month to do it, let us know what you plan to do
Love yourself, do something to make yourself feel fab - wear a bright scarf, get your eyebrows done, have a bath, put on your fave perfume.

Find time to get outside. Lighter nights are now here so get out in the garden, go for a walk. Fresh air is good for everyone
Overpay - aim to pay 20% extra to your debt or savings. It's up to you how you do this - overtime at work, saving money on the food bill, selling items.
Organise your month. Check your cupboards, make a meal plan and stick to your food budget. Plan any social events and budget for them, ideally come up with free alternatives.
Lose one bad habit. Mine's is a food related one but it can be anything you like.
Sign off your daily post with a list of gratitudes.

So that's the challenge, who's up for it?

Hi there MissTara :j

Could I please join in again....I'm still very much a WIP but I do try = tkyou!!

mothernerd

Oh no, everything went black. Please include me. was thinking of sitting this one out as I may break the odd rule. Baggsying a takeaway because you haven't excluded them (yet).

I will also be prioritising healthy eating above cost considerations (wash my mouth out with soap) but as I have lots of fish and veg in the freezer and have several meals out planned (other people paying) I should be okay if I keep last month's food budget but use it better.

Lovely challenge misstara.

mothernerd - enjoy your takeaway . I'm not excluding them from this month's challenge as me and OH are planning to have one . I'm also not excluding coffee shops, lunch out, etc as long as it is planned and budgeted for.
