    I didn’t do so well in March, this month I will be strict with myself!

    Find a little bit of joy in every day.

    Happy new month everyone!

    Thanks for the new thread @cathybird.

    Not a great start, early morning meeting in a coffee shop. Will have just 1 coffee though and nothing else.


    good luck to you all.

    Good morning!


    Today will be a NSD. I’m not including bills, but since I’m only aiming for 10 days this month, all other spending counts.


    my cupboards are full (or as full as they get two two 10 year olds doing their best to empty them 😂) and I’m at work today. The plan is to go straight home after work. I have lots that I need to do indoors (jobs I’ve been putting off for too long) so won’t have time to do any unnecessary spending 😂


    I’m AuDHD and it feels reeaallllly important to start the month with a NSD or I fear I’ll lose motivation straight away and will just give up. So today is really important.
