  • Right, food bought yesterday and I have set money aside for toiletries (£10). So hopefully will manage another few NSDs now as no excuse to spend money.

    Looking forward to the feb challenge as going to try and beat my 8 in a row.

    :T:TThank you very much to those who update the amounts and keep me motivated as well. I am not sure I would have managed as many NSDs as I did without it.:T:T
