    Can I put 13 for next month's target since I'm back to full time hours so I hopefully won't spend as much.

    One for me yesterday and declaring early for another one today bringing me up to 16.

    I'd like to stick with a target of 10 in May too.

    Dizzycap thanks for your detailed post it was a useful insight for me. I am already trying to batch my spends together in groups on a spendy day but I have a way to go yet.
