    I would like to join this challenge please? I always miss the start of the month and think I'll start next month, this time I've finally caught it.

    I'm aiming for 10 NSD's. My rules are really simple no allowances so I need to plan ahead- if I allow groceries I will just pop in every day and count it as a NSD

    Welcome to our lovely thread :)

    What i do for food is allow a weekly amount.
    If I go over that then it is not a NSD.

    And stayed on until 7pm instead of 6.30pm. and said i'd do all day on monday instead of a half day ... as I have thursday and friday off anyway (holiday, I have a dental appointment & just a free/chill day)

    Today was an NSD! Yay. I was frustrated though as was meant to have a visit from the crisis team and they never showed due to an emergency. I am thankful I wasn't said emergency though.
    Have decided to experiment with my budget and split any money left after paying bills into 4. I find since I switched to UC that I am stressing a bit more because money has to last longer. I have three main bills one that should have been paid off already. I am going to clear the rest off on my next payment day which is the 21st. I have £80 to last until then. However, a fully stocked freezer. So I am not concerned. I am due to see my mental health worker on Wednesday so will discuss the plan with her.

    Ideally I would like Wednesday to be my next spend day but I will see.
    No Spend November 2/15 and SPC 134

    I think it is a great idea to split your money that is left into 4.
    Then you will know how much you have left & you hopefully will feel less anxious.
    Budgeting is hard.

    Its my second biggest worry at the moment. I was shocked at how much I have left over if I stuck to it.
