    Hi I would like to join NS days for January I would like to aim for 16 as this is my first time on the thread - I will not include large grocery shops or petrol or monthly direct debits as these are all budgeted, only money spent with credit card/ cash as a spending day. I am starting the Year with one NS day. Thanks.
