It's all gone a bit awry here, with quite a few unnecessarily spendy days, so know I won't make my target for the month.
I'm determined to get back on track for the rest of the month though, and am declaring today a NSD as a step in the right direction#21 Save £12k in 2025 £16977.35/£20000

NSD for me today - However I would feel guilty if I took it as a NS day for two reasons, one I took a NS day earlier in the week which then turned into a spend day so today counteract that, but also because my mum is paying me back for all the spending I have done today as a thanks for taking her and staying with her all today at the hospital, however I have spent a lot today all on snacks and drinks. The outcome of the trip looks favourable however we won't know for sure for a couple of weeks (biopsy results). @cathybird thanks and please keep me on 8/14.1
