Number 8 for me today.Very impressed with myself as never done this many in a row at the start of a month before 🤣 it does involve the use of gift cards received though.All regular standing orders and direct debits continuing in the background, I don’t count them.Going away later this month so wanted to go full on non-spendy mode before that.
also my cash flow from self employment is dreadful so am being very sensible to do this.
Good luck all and thank you @cathybird ❤️5 -
