NSD number 10 today. That's a good thing about not going out. Can't spend anything
Might have a spend day tomorrow.

NSD's in August 11/201 -
Hi @cathybird Thankyou for the thread. I'm a bit late to the party but after being AWOL for quite some time i really need to find some focus again and I know that the challenges give me some accountability. I'd like to try for 10 days between now and the end of the month not including bill direct debits, fuel and shopping that's within my grocery budget. Unfortunately I met a colleague for coffee today and it was my turn to pay so still on 0 for a minute.January NSD8/101

Managed a NSD today - all thanks to the ASDA petrol station shop being shut. Had to pay at pump for my petrol and hence couldn’t buy any of the crisps I was craving. Not counting petrol as a spend as can’t get to work without it!
