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 -
Nsd for me today.

I seem to be in a bit of spend on myself habit - today was a delicious sandwich then, I bought bargain basement house shoes & Screen wash, then I went to get a few groceries, then I went to get a rather expensive dinner for tonight for me and roomie. I really need to turn the tide and reign it in somewhat the coming week. That will be my mission. let me see (m, t, w, t, f, 5 plus 1) Try to get to 6 by the weekend. Have good evenings allXXMissions 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 -
