    Hello - may I join this positive thread please?  I haven't posted in ages, but after a big Christmas overspend, being held accountable will help with rebalancing the sad bank account.  Aiming for 26 NSDs in January.  Thank you x

    I'd love to join you all too please. Aiming for a no / low spend year and have committed to a savings challenge on another thread, so a NSD target of 20 for me (I'm not going to count DDs for bills).
