Morning @cathybird - please can I temporarily join? I get paid on Monday but that's a whole week early, and I don't want to be skint in January, so I would like to try for a whole week of NSDs, starting today 🙃
My rules - I can spend if I bring it in as extra (Vinted, Ebay etc) but would rather pay debts down with that. I can spend if I have already allocated the money (Christmas present savings etc). I have a £1.65 Tesco voucher that I will pick up a few bits with today.
So, 7 NSDs please! And if I don't manage to do them all in a row, 7 by Christmas Day!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |
Total £4151.44 | £2900.30 of £7051.74 paid off since diary started October 2024.1
