    Forgot to pop in last week to say Wednesday (17th) and Sunday ( 21st) were NSDs, bringing my current total to 5/10. I hope it's ok but I have been only counting days when nothing leaves my account or purse but I wonder if I could allow diesel spends. It is a necessity due to the rural location and a couple of times no money has been spent during the day but I've ended up having to top up the diesel to collect children/ get to and fro for work.

    An allowed spend as essential?

    Today has been a spend day. £12.95 for afternoon tea but took some cake home with me that the boy can have.

    I need to nip to shops later after taking the boy to new extra curricular activity. I'm picking up some things for work friends.

    So I'm still on 9/15 NSDs. I've no other planned outings for the rest of the week.

    Today shall be a NSD, bringing my total to 10/15 NSDs.

    I am at work and have no planned spends.

    I picked up a couple of extra bits and bobs from supermarket last night, some things were needed, some were wants. The damage wasn't too bad though, only £9.63 spent.

    All online banking has been updated- no further repayments to credit cards as yet. I am leaving it until the end of the month where I can review what money I have left over and decide what to do.

    NSD day 9. I was hoping for 10 today but I had to buy black tea, sugar, milk and biscuits for my builder as I don't use any of those things. Ah well.

    Hope you all had NSDs or LSDs at least :)
