    I need a referees decision.  NSD today except parking at the hospital £1.40.  Am I cheating if I want to count it as day 8?  
    For me, not cheating as 2 criteria: travel and health related.

    @thepurplepixie fuel and public transport don't have to be counted so neither should parking if it's for something like a hospital, so definitely an NSD xx :)

    I was feeling pleased with myself, until I remembered the reason I haven’t spent any money today is that I had to stay in most of the day waiting for a delivery (the air fryer that this site had a discount on) and I haven't allowed for paying for that any other day so it had better be today.
    So not a NSD.
    Hopefully I will manage to take food with me tomorrow and not have to spend my half hour for lunch running to somewhere to spend money.

    Thanks to all my referees.  I felt it was ok but thought I might just be wanting it to be ok.  My visitors have arrived, 2 extra adults, 3 grandchildren plus 2 local grand children round every day so a very expensive week ahead.

    Personally, I'd say no, as hospital appointments / visits are essential expenses ;)
