Can I join in too please. I managed 12 days trying it out in March but that may have been higher as I hadn't spotted the rules about petrol and ys items.
I've got a lot to be grateful for too."A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle without shortening the life of that candle."

Hi
I've seen this challenge around but I have no idea what everything stands for and how it works...would someone mind explaining it all to me or pointing me in the direction of where it's explained?
And then, once I know what I'm supposed to be doing, I'm sure I'd like to join

NSD is a no spend day (no money spend apart form medical expenses or a trolley of exclusively YS items, rent of DD for leech etc)
SFD is the same - spend free day
YS are yellow sticker items, reduced item in the supermarkets
All you're supposed to be doing is follow the rules in post 1, i.e. pay your debts first and live of the rest, budget the rest to live off. Have as many NSDs as possible, which requires forward planning (plan your meals and relevant shopping list, days out, birthday presents that need buying etc and do this spending on as few as possible days.
Also worth checking out some of the previous threads especially the first few posts.
Don't worry if you struggle with certain aspects at first, it is a learning curve.DEBT 02/25: total £6100 Debt free date 12/250 -
