    I am declaring NSD12 today please. I was spendy yesterday, so today needs to pay for that. Declaring early makes me follow through 😬. I hope to have many more until pay day to keep me on track.

    Morning, from Sallyp2...ditto the early declaration above for me. Am declaring a NSD today as it will stop me spending. Mon to Fri last week was expensive and indulgent. Did silly grocery shops, new things for pets, had my hair done, had a pedicure amongst other spends. Am paying for it this week and WILL reign it in.
    Am on 8 NSD
