I last reported in on Tuesday with NSD #8
Had palpitations on Wednesday when the window cleaner came around to clean them - but I know I paid for several visits in January and he's not been back for paying this week, so I must have covered at least this one if not (possibly I think) the next one as well. So with no other outgoings either that gave me NSD #9
Thursday was DS1's 25th birthday (which means he's now on my car insurance :eek:), but I'd remembered to get the last of what I needed on Monday so I made it to NSD #10
And today was spent with OH (very unexpectedly and I'm not sure what I did to deserve it!), so enough distractions to remove any spendy temptations when DS1 took my car out for the first time. So I'm now at NSD #11 and 4 in a row for the third time this year (and the best I've managed to date).
I need fresh veg tomorrow, and possibly milk for DS1. But that's allowed without losing an NSD (to minimise waste), so fingers crossed I don't get distracted by anything else.....
DS2 has been in touch this week asking me to pick up easter eggs for my GDs from him, as he doesn't fancy posting 4 eggs from Bristol area to Blackpool area (and I have to go over their way within the next 2 weeks to drop off Mother's Day bits, birthday bits for GD2 and the eggs I've got them from me). He'll then refund me via internet banking, so even if I see some on a good offer on an otherwise NSD I shall feel free to pick them up and not count them as it's not my money I'm spending
