  • 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. 
    Good luck all!

    Day 4 today: need to rein it in again as I have identified a tendency to try and lift my mood by spending money.

    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.

    @QueenJess, good luck! It’s hard isn’t it. The amount of things I almost buy before remembering this challenge is shocking!
