Marvellous March's No-Spend Days Challenge!
Comments
-
Forgot to add in my last post, but February's challenge went really well.
Despite an emergency plumbing project, I was able to save a considerable sum of money (probably not a lot to most people, but a considerable sum for me 🙂) which I transferred into a Higher Rate Instant Access account.
I already had a sum in there from the January Challenge, so I'm feeling particularly happy.3 -

@madlyn if the pet meds are a regular thing I would probably not count that. Maintenance work on the house I would count, though other people who have taken part in the challenge haven't counted that sort of work if it's budgeted for already xxmadlyn said:Happy Monday everyone, from a lovely sunny NW Leicestershire.
NSD for me yesterday, but what about maintenance work on the house and medication for the pooch? Can these go towards a NSD? As I have both coming up this week.0 -

If it's essential maintenance work and it's budgeted, it seems reasonable not to count it xxmadlyn said:
