    Not a single penny spent on anything today, so that's NSD #5 in the bag :)

    I'm going to have to nip out for fresh veg tomorrow - but that's allowable.
    No spends planned for Sunday.
    Biiiiig spends planned for Monday though :o
    But them no bank payments due until around 26th, so I'll have to see how many of the intervening 15 days I can stay away from the shops (including on-line stores).
