    No Spend day 1 please @cathybird Thank you.
    @Cathybird, I have just spent money on a cheaper phone and planning to sell more expensive phone where I will make a profit, is that okay? Or shall I leave it today and put me as zero?

    As you are making a profit, I wouldn't have counted it :)
