    I'm going to claim 8 out of 10 NSDs for April. I'd hoped to make the last two during this week but it just didn't quite work out!

    Quite pleased with that for my first time on this challenge - and I had several very low spend days. Off to sign up for May ...

    Thanks Spoon, love the cake... and I sure did eat a lot of cake (and I shouldn't have as I am trying to lose a stone!) I had a wonderful birthday. Spent much too much money over the past few days but enjoyed it all the same. Thanks for your best wishes.
