    Hi Cathybird, can I sign up for December please. I'll keep it at 10 for this month as I'm conscious there will be Christmas purchases but hope if I can achieve 10 NSDs in December, I will try and increase in January.

    So off to a good start - today is NSD 1/10 :)

    Love that motto Brooklyn, will have to remember that one.

    Yay Honeysucklelou2, good to see you on the new thread :wave: and well done on the NSD! :) :T:T
  • No spends for me today.

    hi Ms W, and welcome :) :wave: Food shopping does not have to be included per se - it's really up to you. Participants can decide if they want to exclude particular costs, if the costs are necessary - for instance, I exclude bus and train fares, and others exclude fuel, or physiotherapy. My own thought is that basic, regular grocery shops don't have to count but one-off impulse buys or anything extravagent or unusual probably should. What do you think? :)

    I don’t count any days I spend. That makes me wait till grocery shopping day instead of nipping in to the supermarket ... because I am totally unable to just buy the item I went in for...
    This is a shameful admission but I know it to be true
    Stop Buying **** We Don't Need :D
  • Hi Cathybird - 15 again for me this month please, with number 1 today x

    I wonder whether we really ought to have "group rules" over food and fuel, rather than individual rules. It's just a thought.

    Today will be a spend day for me - booked some train tickets ready for travelling for Christmas, and I need to pop out and get fruit and veg to last me the week.

    Cathybird - I didn't end up watching any Christmas films yesterday - the choices available on telly and Netflix were not to my taste.
    On the plus side, I did wrap all the presents I have bought so far :D
    Save £12k in 2022 = £3705.97/ £7,500 (49%)
    Save £12k in 2021 #76 = £11,857.21/ £10,000 (118%)
