    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 ♉️ ❤️
    It is officially May and the sun is out, well mostly! :smiley: You can update every day if you like, or just whenever you have a no spend day. Sometimes people explain why they had a spendy day but not always and you don't have to. I think it helps to post most days because that way it's easier to keep in touch with it but it's up to you Cheesephetamine! :) xx

    Thanks cathybird, you do a wonderful job.
    I’ll shout out for my first please. I did go out for fuel, but that’s a monthly unavoidable that I don’t count 😁

    If you know you've got everything planned for the day and don't need to spend then it's OK to decide upfront that it will be an NSD. Of course if there's some kind of random trouble later in the day (eg car breaks down) and you need to spend to cover that then you can always come back and say the NSD has gone wrong! But if you're having a quiet day in the house the odds are good that it will work out as expected. :)
  • Hello cathybird! I'm back refreshed after taking April off!

    Please could I aim for 10 NSDs again? 

    Managed 9 in March so getting closer every time!

    Thanks.

    Hope everyone is well!
