Delightful December's NSD Challenge!

cathybird

This challenge is about setting yourself a weekly/monthly target of how many No Spend Days you would like to achieve during December. 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. It is fine to exclude necessary expenses eg petrol, groceries, pet food, etc, when it comes to deciding what is and isn't an NSD.

3. It does help to post every time you notch up an NSD ... it's easy to lose track! If you want to keep track of your NSDs in your MSE signature, that can be really motivating too

4. It also helps to subscribe to the thread ... that way you get a daily email reminder so you don't lose motivation

5. NSDs are trickier than they seem and easily derailed. It makes the challenge much easier if you notch up as many as you can in the first half of the month.

I'm so up for it, Cathybird! I have bought all my Christmas presents and have a tax bill looming at the end of January, so am as determined as a determined person can be.
I ghost-followed the November NS challenge for the past 10 days and managed 7 out of 10. So fingers very much crossed....

Happy_Monday

Thanks for the new thread Cathybird, have to say the merge of November and December threads did my OCD no good at all!!! Glad we’ve got a brand new, shiny happy thread for December x

Hi Cathybird, this is a great thread for making me think twice before I spend.
Can you put me down for 8 for December please, I will be away from the 23rd and have a couple of events planned too.
Thanks for hosting the thread

Hi everyone. Thank you for the thread Cathybird.

It's hard to gauge spending for this month, so I'll put down for 7.
