NSD here today. That makes 6/15. This is harder than it sounds though. I thought 15 would be easy. It is really making me think of what I buy online at the tap of a button.
GC 2022 = £3154.96 , 2023 = £3334. 84 2024 = £.3221.81 , 2025 = £3974.24 . 2026 £899. 91/£3500, May £154.26 /£250
Decluttering campaign. 2026. 39 /74 storage places, book cases, drawers cupboards and sheds. Also tidying / clearing front and back gardens , giving bathroom and kitchen a bit of a spruce up. Me🏅⭐ ⭐DH🏅
Make £600 in 2026 = £412.59
NSD in May = 5/152 -

A very early call for an 11/20 NSD Monday - Tomorrow will be a spendy day Tuesday - Essential food stock up shop & petrol top up. I'll be back on the NSD train on Wednesday 🤗.
Wishng everyone a Mega NSD Monday xx
@Soontobeoap - NSDs are not easy initially, but as you've said it makes you question all types of spending including online. NSDs is a psychological retraining of the daily self 'feel good factor' which can be achieved in so many ways outside of the need to spend. I now designate a set 3 max; but usually only use 2, monthly spendy days for stock up / top up on all absolute essentials only on a single day, which I note in my diary at the beginning of each month, so unless it's an absolutely unexpected necessary / emergency spend, it greatly reduces my need to browse online or open up email discount deals, as there's nothing I actually need outside of my designated spendy days 🤗.
