Fell at the last hurdle but at least I'd already gained my target so it matters a little less that I've just bought a ticket for an event in October.Toodle-pip :hello:2

Declaring another NSD today. Very pleased with my numbers this month. Sadly it doesn’t offset the price of a new washing machine that I needed after the other one died or all the increased pricing for everything coming in next month.2025 decluttering: 5,256 🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅🌟🌟2025 use up challenge: 406🥉🥈🥇💎🏆Big kitchen declutter challenge 137/1502025 decluttering goals I Use up Challenge: 🥉365 🥈750 🥇1,000 💎2,000 🏆 3,000 👑 8,000 I 🥉12 🥈26 🥇52 💎 100 🏆 250 👑 5002

Not today, First I bought plastic cups (very good value) in the early hours of the morning, then I spent a whopping £173 to hopfeully re-instate my AAT membership...Fingers crossed as it may help get re-employed!Missions for the rest of the year:-
1) Build up an emergency fund (EF)
2) Improve spending habits.
3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.3 -
2 more for me please, for yesterday and today.
I'm on holiday in April so I think a target of 15 will be reasonably optimistic!

Another one today for me please x
Im going to put 20 down again for April. Ive had to replace some items at home during march and i will do a main monthly shop in one go. I go out once a week to a local club and it only costs 6 pounds so I dont include that either. I only count anything other than food or a once a week trip out as spending. Staying out of the charity shops can be a challenge and buying not necessities from Amaz*n. Two jumpers and a winter coat for 5 pounds during March.Current debt approximately 5000
Goal- Zero debt by mid 2025
Savings in 2026- an emergency fund of 50001 -
Early call for day 20.
