Ok so far this month I've had quite a few days when there's been hardly any spend, but it's not NO spend, so I've not included them. Therefore the only days where there's no spend whatsoever is currently 4.
3rd = NSD
5th = NSD
9th = NSD
11th = NSD
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
