Magnificent May's NSD Challenge!

So, today was looking like a NSD. (For years, my only exceptions for spending have been milk, bread, and diesel). About 10 minutes ago, this late at night, my son came and asked if I could buy him his monthly bus ticket    So I have bought that for him, but am still going to claim this an NSD because I know I buy this for him every month, and if I'd thought of it, I would have bought it yesterday, which was a spendy day anyway. I haven't actually had an unexpected spend. Just wish I'd thought to offer to buy it for him yesterday.

In March I had exactly the same thing happen. At the end of a NSD, son asks if I can buy his ticket. And it had been a month of days where I'd lost lots of NSDs due to a single spend (dentist, bus ticket, school lunches for either of my school-aged daughters, dog food......) 

So for April I thought of all those silly ways I'd lost NSDs, and made a list. I told myself I would aim to buy all these items on the same day. So, when I am having a spend day anyway, I ask myself if I also need bus tickets, school lunches, dog food, diesel, milk and bread. It meant that last month was my best ever NSD month (18 days  )

So today has been NSD#3, thank you cathybird.(And welcome home from my home country!)

@Saver-upper Fuel & public transport are two of the things that can just be automatically excluded anyway so you are fine to exclude the bus ticket!! Yay for Australia, it's good to be home though x
