    NSD #11 today. 

    I have a question about bills and planned spends, do you count things like paying a builder as a spend day ?   I know some people don’t count bills as spends but not sure where the line is :)

    I don't include bills and planned spends.

    If it's a bill that goes through on direct debit I don't count it but if it's a tradesman who is visiting as a one-off or for a single project I would count it. But LittleMissDetermined is right, some don't count planned spends, so it's really up to you! x

    So it’s officially May! I’m excited for this challenge I hope the accountability will help me not spend on things that I don’t need! Do we do daily updates? With what we spent or not? Happy beautiful May everyone. It’s my bday month. Taurus ♉️ ❤️
    hi Kaballund image and welcome image I've added you to the list. We set targets for the month and most people do post most days to say whether it's been an NSD or not. Since there are only 11 days left in May you could go target free (TF) if you like, or set a smaller target? Up to you! Happy birthday month! image
