That's brill Cathybird, thanks so much for confirming!cathybird said:
Yes definitely squanderscouse, I do, if I put anything on the credit card I count the day I make the purchase, not the day I pay it off.squanderscouse said:Can we still count days as an NSD if we've made a payments towards a debt? (I've re-joined the PAD board and made a payment today.)
I've added an NSD for you so you're on 8, I hope that's right?

Thanks Beanielou, that makes more sense than what I've been doingbeanielou said:

It is up to you to choose how to count.
eg. I dont count food or petrol unless I go over budget.

Early call day 11...

Working on eating through fridge and freezer contents before shopping: only thing I'm short of is ice cream but that's always the first food to go

Im declaring another today as a result of the fact i fought the urge to get a take out coffee... (you wouldnt believe the fancy set up i have at home as a result of naughty CC spending prior to being here so im taking this as a win today!)
I include things that will forever cost me something ie food, toiletries etc not the stuff i know i can make back- but i know everyone is different.Follow here for the daily life of an ADHD mum with 2 children and a new mortgage to pay

Not one for me today as my fruit box was delivered, but definitely worth it for the fresh food.
