    Thanks Marmite :) I'm hoping to meet my class tomorrow though the school were unsure whether they'd have the children in as some staff are on strike.


    Yesterday I didn't walk into any shops...making a grand total of NSD #2 (and I don't know why bold and colours don't work on school computers :( ) Hoping today will be another if OH pays in Asda but we usually split the stuff up!

    Hi NSD 2 yesterday. Will be a spendy day as me dd1 and my mum will be eating out tonight. Got a busy few weeks in front of me so trying to be organised.

    Being disabled and basically stuck at home means "quick pop to the shop" spends don't tend to happen :p

    I'm sorry to hear that.I can see though how it helps keep impulse spends to a minimum.

    sazzie sounds like you're having a rough time.Sending big hugs.
