    I've had a spendy weekend!  >:)

    But I made it through today okay 4/15
    November 2023

    I'm always in it, it's only the depth that varies....

    Current debt: £10,806.75
    Debt free date April 2025 (though expecting this to come forward)

    Can I join in?

    I haven't been on MSE since they made big changes to it (12/18 months ago?), so am just finding my way around again. But I spent the weekend looking at my spending for this year, and, while it is not atrocious, I do need to really start thinking about where the money goes. Rejoining this thread for some accountability. 

    When I am playing, I don't count spending on bread,milk or diesel.

    So far I have had 1 NSD this month. Apart from needing to buy milk, today will be a NSD also 🎉.

    Thank you 🌻

    Finally a NSD today, the first one 😳. Won’t be one tomorrow either as I have museum plans (hoping for good air con!). I think all my NSD days are going to be back end loaded as I try to make the best use of my last two weeks off work!
