    Morning everyone. I’m slowly recovering from that large event I organized that was last week. My numbers for April are...

    Final Total:
    €406.12/€400.00
    16/10 NSD

    I had a very large and unusual spend on April 30th that was €98.59. About €26 of it was cleaning/laundry products and OH’s smoothies. I deliberated for the last couple of days about just adding it to May’s tally as a first spend, but I just decided that I’d rather go into May with a clean slate. This was also an emotional spend. I was at the big store, was recovering from the event and just wanted to try a bunch of new things. I was in “treat yourself” mode and was very aware of it the whole time. And...I was okay with it. :)

    A lot of this food should last us the week excepting the fruit. I’ll push myself to not spend until Friday at least.

    I think I’m the last one to declare, but good luck to all the folks searching for the last receipts!
