    I am counting today as a NS because I have avoided spending, however a non budgeted item although neccessity came out of my bank without me knowing about it until I got the text - auto phone top up £10, you may disagree with keeping it as a no spend, but I feel I deserve it today..Not one today.

    @[Deleted User], I think the auto phone top-up is fine and not a spend, if that's the issue? xx
