    Ok, yippeee I have made it, 10/10 NSDs in November! I had to use the Oyster Card to go to my mystery job but that was prepaid (and pre-budgeted for) so I do not count it as a spend. The money paid for the job is 100% refundable and I even get a small fee.

    Off to the December challenge now, bye bye November!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    Well we went over our £250 budget for November and came in at £263.86. Not ideal, but I'm actually quite pleased with that. We had some friends visiting, so this includes some extra "hospitality" expenses which I'd not factored in (cooked breakfasts and booze).

    Not too bad overall :)
