    Morning All, yesterday was a big spend day for me but well worth it......My DS1 won his boxing bout to become the Southern Counties ABA Schoolboy Champion. To say I am proud is an understatement!!
    However, definitely pulling in the reins today and trying for my target of 7 for January.
    Enjoy Monday everyone!

    Good morning All

    Popping in to report NSD #15 for yesterday. With all the snow gone now it was lovely to get out for a walk.

    Nearly a NSD on Saturday but spotted a really pretty Gerbera plant (my sisters favourite flower) and as I was calling in on her for a cuppa I just HAD to buy it ...... I happily give up a NSD for that.

    Won't be a NSD today either as my heating is getting its "full flush" so I will have to try and catch 1 more over the following 3 days.

    Well done everyone who has taken part this month, I'm sure we have all saved money along the way and good luck for February.
