    Just popping in to report NSD #8 today.


    Yesterday was nearly NSD. We went on a coach trip to visit a cruise ship berthed at Tilbury. We had a free welcome on board glass of wine and free wine throughout lunch, so didn't need to spend anything.... but when I'm on a coach trip I always tip the driver and the tour guide as they work so hard. So I gave my usual tip - at least I didn't just fritter the money!

    one for yesterday, i sneakily passed on getting my partner gloves - town was packed anyway so I wouldn't have got a chance to get him some anyway

    one for today, had a meal at a really posh place for my mum and dad's 20th wedding anniversary and everything was already paid for.
