Day 23/28, 14 NSD's, Prolific £1.40 pending, Cash £17 for 22nd-28th Feb

Nothing to report today, but I've promised myself I'll keep on track so here I am. I haven't spent anything, so I've hit my NSD target of 15/15 :T Hoping for a couple more to add on before the month is out. And that's it for today. xx

Woo hoo! 15/15 is amazing well done!

Thsts more than half the month that you didn't spend - I'd say that's no mean feat!

Already off the starting blocks with PA again too.

I am going to try and track my NSDs as well, might sound like a stupid question, but if a DD comes out does that cancel the NSD? xx

Hello HG, NMC and HHD. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. It's beautiful here. Funny how a bit of sun and blue sky can lift the spirits so much.

No question is silly K, from what I've seen people do their NSD's very differently. Some are very strict and if any DD's, petrol, food shopping etc is bought then it's not a NSD. Other's are a little more flexible and don't include those types of spends. Then there's me :rotfl: I don't include anything apart from what I spend from my personal money - £240 each month.

Personally, for starters and just for the sheer motivation I wouldn't include anything apart from personal spending. Why not have a look at the NSD challenge on the Debt Free Challenges, some people say what they're including/excluding so it might give you a better idea of what would work for you. xx

Morning Everybody

Day 25/28, 16 NSD's, Prolific £1.40 cleared, Cash £17 for 22nd-28th Feb

Forgot to update yesterday but apart from it being another NSD there was nothing to report. It's not looking like any spending will take place today either.

I've just been through my Brexit store cupboard which has built up nicely over the past few weeks and taken a few things out for the FB. My local one seems to have become connected to Trussell Trust without me realising and without getting into it too much I don't totally agree with their criteria of people only being allowed to use it 3 times a year, so I'm giving the things to my church instead. People can use that one as many times as they need to and are often referred by outside agencies.

It's another lovely sunny day here today. DS has a teacher training day tagged onto his half term so he's still home. All back to normal tomorrow though.

Hope you all have a good day. xx

Good thinking about the church foodbank

I know we've discussed this before Beanie but the TT rules boil my piddle, if you'll pardon the expression. They're up in arms about benefits/universal credit delays but won't move their own goalposts. I used to take it to the FB in my town as it's easy to drop off and as long as somebody was benefitting I wasn't particularly bothered about being loyal to the church one :rotfl: but I will be from now on

Today has been a very quiet, very long and very boring day. So boring I've entertained myself with a fair bit of housework. It means I haven't spent anything again so I'm off to update myself on the NSD thread.

Hope you've all had a more exciting day than me - although that wouldn't be hard xx
