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. Current CC debt £0.00 DFD 31/7/24 🥳. Member #8 of Fiver Friday Challenge £175/£260

British Airways passenger? Book and travel using your old Covid vouchers NOW – or lose them
If you had a British Airways (BA) flight or holiday disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, check if you've got an old voucher as millions of pounds' worth are still unclaimed. You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
