    One today- I spent a voucher I had on a couple of bits so I’m not counting that as it wasn’t my actual money- is that an acceptable loophole?! I’m taking it!
    That's definitely acceptable x :)

  • Third day in a row of it not being a NSD. Friday was weekly grocery shopping, Saturday sent a parcel so postage costs and today trip to Aldi for oat and soya milk. OH usually pays for this but somehow he managed to bring his wallet but forget his card! Fortunately I had mine with me or it would have mad for an embarrassing moment at the till. 

    Tomorrow will also be spendy as meeting friend for lunch and it's my turn to pay. Taking comfort in the knowledge that every spend day so far has been for a need not a want or fancy and I've bought groceries according to our meal plan or basics like the milk.

    Great to hear! That’s my next weeks shop voucher too, so IF (big IF) I could be very much on track for my overpay debts by NSD and budget 💪🏼🤞🏼💪🏼

    Still on day #4 as spent both days this weekend. Yesterday I had to buy some new tights for my daughter for school, and today we went for a lovely hike but had to pay for car parking and we needed cake and coffee to keep us going/warm us up!
