    Hello, I’m up to NSD number 8 as I’ve not spent any money yet this month, apart from direct debits. So that’s 2 days since I last updated and today.

    I’m working lots this weekend, going to see how long I can last from Monday but I will have to spend for sure.

    Staying on 6/15 promised my 13yr Son £10 if he scored a goal today at footy and he did 🤩. He’s going skiing with school early next year so trying to make him ‘earn’ his spending money. 
    Lightbulb moment - 17/08/2017 £17,033.  DFD 31/7/24 🥳.
