Marvelous May's NO Spend Day's Challange

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 May.
Keep us updated with your progress and hope you all enjoy the challange.

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!

We CAN do it.
Remember every little helps :money::money::money:

    I'm going for 12 again, looking forward to it actually :)


    Exclusions are groceries (apart from impulse buys of snacky items like chocolate or buns), buses, and bills.
  • Can I join in please? I haven't done a challenge like this before but I'm going to aim high with 16! Today will be a spend day though unfortunately as I need to get a few bits in but I'm going to try and get everything I need so that tomorrow & Friday can be NSD's.
    MAY
    Make £20 a day: £0/£620 NSD: 0/16

    aiming for 14. Less than my normal target of half but have a few days away this month so have accounted for those.
    Today was an unplanned spend day on luxury items (damn going into shops!)
