    Afternoon all :)
    Hope you are all well?

    I did it yesterday, I managed to have a total NSD!My second of this pay month. I want to try and get at least another 3, make it 5. It won't be today. I had my weekly coffee with the girls, and stocked up my drawer this morning.

    Otherwise though I have/will:
    - keep track of all spends (this is an important one! I keep forgetting!)
    - lunch etc from stores
    - £2 into savings pot (this is going to be my new clothes fund - when I lose a bit more weight)
    - clicks and searches
    - going to sort out my savings pots (20p, coppers and silver) and bank tomorrow - goes to the holiday fund
    - meal plan for next week
    - make brooch to wear for the wedding this weekend
    - track calories
    - check banking

    Have a lovely day all, it really is nearly the weekend! xxxx

    I've been for a haircut, so now need a woolly hat to keep my ears warm.
    Sorted the Mot on the car, that's it for another year.
    Been to Asda for a few odds and ends.
    If the rain stays off i'm off out now to pull some weeds up in the back garden.
