    Morning. I'd like to join in but as this is my first month I'm not sure what base figure to use. If it's ok, I'd just like to report NSDs, see where I get to this month then set a challenge for myself next month. Is that ok?

    I won't be spending any money today.

    Spend less now, work less later.

    Not one today. Eye test and paying for reglazing of an old pair of spectacles. Saved over £60 by going online rather than via the local optician. I feel bad but need to save the pennies since I'm scrounging off OH while I'm not working.

    hi @Jazee and welcome to our lovely thread image.png I've added you to the list. It's completely fine to go "target free" and see how you go, so that's why instead of a target I've put that you're "TF". Hope you enjoy the challenge image.png
