    Not an NSD, I bought a cinnamon bun on the way to work! 
    Ohhhh I love a cinnamon bun, worth breaking a NSD for x

    I so agree Happy Monday, and every day going to work I go past a place with great cinnamon buns, not sure it's such a good thing actually!

    Sixth Anniversary 100 Posts Name Dropper
    I was feeling a bit down about only getting 4 and we're almost half way through the month, but I've realised I'm actually spending less per week than I normally do - just a little bit everyday. I barely pass £3 on my spend days!
    I also remembered that in previous months I wouldn't let my morning cup of tea at work (at only 50p a pop) ruin my NSD's. 
    So if I take that into consideration, I'm now on 7/15. :smile:

    Fifth Anniversary 100 Posts Mortgage-free Glee! Photogenic
    Sunday to Thursday all NSDs. 9/15! Sorry for the lack of posts.
    Mortgage free by 33 - (21/07/22 - 32 years and a bit...)

    Most DIY problems can be solved by a combination of spanner, pliers, screwdriver, Allan key and a blade. (Hold it, twist it, cut it!) Very occasionally industrial language, a hammer and an adhesive may need to be added to the mix. (Curse it, hit it, patch it!)
