    Xmas Saver!
    Sadly not a NSD today :( had to purchase puppy pads. On the bright side tho last time I paid £5 for 30. Today £2.99 for 30. Unfortunately I didnt save the £2 I instead bought 3 packs plus a pack for A friend on the principle of saving money long term. Not sure if I need a slap or a pat on the back lol. Aiming for NSD tmw as working silly 1-10 shift so can't imagine fitting in spending.
    Hopefully c u all back on the NSD wagon tmw :beer:
