    No 4 today.
    Nice to see some sun but I am so tired.
    Cat was very very sick this AM ~ lots of furballs :eek: but he seems just fine now.

    NSD #3 for me today :D

    Was very tempted to pick up some blocks of jelly (after a customer happened to mention that Mr M's value strawberry jelly is currently 2p a block!), but decided it can wait until the next time I'm spending for something else - and will only be picked up then if it's still a really low price ;)

    Not expecting another D/Debit to go out before Monday (due 10th, but that's Sunday so will go on 11th), but am likely to need milk either tomorrow or Saturday.....

    What an amazing sunny day!!! :cheesy:

    I went into town at lunch time to put a cheque in the bank as my branch is closed on saturdays and it's the first chance I've had mid-week! So glad I did, but it was very difficult to avoid popping into all the shops.

    Luckily, my will power help out and I have NSD #4

    Evening all

    Managed NSD#4 today. :dance:

    This month definitely seems to be going quite well for me. Going to avoid the shops tomorrow and aim for #5 and 4 in a row.

    I hope everyone has had a good day?

    Went shopping with DD today, so no NSD for me. I had a planned spend of £15 for a much needed item of clothing, but managed to buy it in Primark, with a couple of other small items for a total of £12!!
    I think taking part in this challenge really makes you question everything you spend.
