    ..time to fess up - not a NSD here, needed (wait for it...it's wild...) tin foil and cling film, plus got my eyebrows done again. While I was at it I ordered the micellar water I've been using online so it arrives before my other one runs out. It's not cheap cheap, but my skin is much better since I switched from another well known (costly) brand - and I only need take one bottle into the bathroom, not three now :D I last ordered this at the end of Feb so I guess it's lasted about 3mths (more by the time I've finished this bottle) so that's not too bad.

    welcome to the fold, and congrats on 2 NSDs :T


    and me? still trying to figure that one out!!!

    1st - direct debits and Costc0 trip
    2nd -
    3rd -
    4th - petrol and food festival
    5th - handed over my share of my Mum's birthday present to DS2 who organised the purchase
    6th -
    7th -
    8th - spent locally, mostly on bits for the garden but also some groceries (and, on checking bank account, also 2 d/debits)


    need to check receipts (once I dig them all out), but it looks like I've bagged 4 NSDs :) (will adjust my total later if I'm wrong, as I'm sure I've forgotten something!!)

    Can I join?:hello:
    I am off sick at work at the moment so today will be a NSD :T
    I am only counting the coffees, cakes, take-away, vending machine stuff that I blow money on with reckless abandon:o

    I am really going to try and get a minimum of 10 for the rest of the month.
