  • Hi @cathybird I hope your day is starting well? I am not spending today however I shouldn't have put a no spend day the other day as I bought 2 new back tyres. I also bought the premium brand so defo should count as a spending day, originally I thought it was going to be paid back, which it still might, but safer to put spending day especially as I chose premium brand although you could argue they are more road safe? Thank you. I'll leave you to decide, also I want to say that I promised myself that if I didn't spend anything else that I would have it as a no spend which I didn't...but I will leave you to decide. Thanks. That means if you think you agree with the arguement it should be day 8, or if you agree with the other side it should be day 7...sorry to ramble on. 😊❤️😊
  • Today will be a NSD for me and as I’m working literally all weekend 😞 I shouldn’t be spending anything but will confirm on Monday!

    @HotDog2020 you could make a case for saying that tyres are a necessity and also you didn't spend anything else. If it was me I'd probably count it, but then I try to group these sorts of purchases together on spendy days so I also always have more than one expense. It's not a frivolous, wasteful or unwarranted spend and it's probably similar enough to fuel in that you need tyres to get from A to B, so it's probably OK to still call it an NSD. xx :)
