    Still on day 7 for me, bought a colleague a coffee and a bun today, she was really down and it cheered her up so well worth breaking my NSD for. Shame it wasn’t a cinnamon bun Cathybird x
    Happy Monday, so glad you love cinnamon buns :):) The bun yesterday did cheer up my whole day. I did feel for a while after I'd eaten it that it was a slight waste of an NSD but it's as you and Delta said, low-spend days are good too. :)

    Hi cathybird - think my score has dropped off the latest list. I am on 10/15 NSDs not 9. Funny how important that hard-earned emoticon is!  :)

    Sorry Optimistic Saver, I've corrected that now. Please bear with me with this new format, it's more complicated keeping up! It doesn't help that the pages are so short now. Everyone, always do let me know if I've made a mistake ... wouldn't want anyone to have an incorrect score displayed in the list. :)

    Thanks cathybird - and for your persistence and work in keeping up this thread! Another NSD for me today, as it's a potting up seedlings day - ready for the propagator. Not planning to venture much further than the garage as it's blowing a hooley out there!!! So 11/15 it is.
