Joyous January's No-Spend Days Challenge!

HotDog2020

Spend spend spend today and yesterday, electrician to check that i needed new bulbs, I did test the bulbs when I tested them they worked becasue the filament made contact really bizarro, which means I am down £60 for that alone. I rejoined sw however costing 14.85 (including 2 X hifis) I am having fish and chips so probably a waste of money. and I didn't go tot the gym either day, there is still time But would prefer just to get fish and chips! I know I lead sad little life, a lifeless wander, a bore, one step forward two steps back yada yada yada. Sorry.

I'm going for 20 again next month - the discipline is really helping me think about what and how I spend.

@HotDog2020 think you are making very harsh and untrue judgements on yourself, you're trying every day to do better, which is not nothing. x

Hi @cathybird
I’m going to try to push myself a bit more this month and go for 18 days.
Thankyou so much for keeping the thread going 😁

18 for February, thanks!

Not one today.

Another NSD today, which brings to 24 for January (a NSD for me - my partner paid for vanilla chai lattes for us, and also bought me a little ceramic cup for 50p!). I *almost* bought a bead necklace, but it was just a bit too much, and I didn’t need it.

Think I’ll aim for 26 out of 29 for February, which leaves the same 3 day leeway as I’ve had for January. It’s very motivating to post in here, and to cross the days off on my wall calendar. I’m hoping (praying!) that February will be my last month in the red, and that I’ll be able to start saving from March onwards - these NSD challenges are good practice for really evaluating my spending.
