Mixed fortunes this weekend - spendy Saturday as went to the (undercover luckily!) pub, but managed to bag NSD3 on Sunday.
Hoping to get number 4 today too - fingers crossed.

Day 4 today: need to rein it in again as I have identified a tendency to try and lift my mood by spending money.‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

Hi all. I'd like to join very late as a total newbie to this. I keep spending money here and there online and it is adding up... Hopefully this will be illuminating for me and stop unnecessary spending!
I am counting absolutely everything for this month because I want to be aware of everything leaving my account and make sure I don't have any DD's or anything that I could get rid of!
Currently I'm on 2 NSDs. Today was the weekly food shop, so spendy today. Trying very hard to resist various other purchases until I actually really need them.2025 decluttering: 4,908 🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅🌟2025 use up challenge: 351🥉🥈🥇💎🏆Mini freezer challenge 0/-20Big kitchen declutter challenge 115/1502025 decluttering goals I Use up Challenge: 🥉365 🥈750 🥇1,000 💎2,000 🏆 3,000 👑 8,000 I 🥉12 🥈26 🥇52 💎 100 🏆 250 👑 5004 -
