    Hey Cathybird - can't believe you're still updating while you're away - a dedicated MSE'er!  I haven't spend anything yet this month so am on 4/20 :-) 
    PS I made a joke yesterday about this being sad but I love this thread and it keeps me on the straight and narrow. I can't really imagine life without MSE to be honest, it has made so much difference over the years. It is a great thing this website exists. Just wanted to say that in case anyone thought I was being serious! I wasn't, logging in to MSE is one of the good things that happens every day. :)

    I know what you mean Cathybird ... it's made such a huge difference to my spending habits!  So much so that I haven't spent anything at all this month (yet!) - while I'm here I'll update that I'm now on 5/20!  Planned (excluded) little grocery spend on way home tonight but I don't count that (unless I go over budget  o:) ).  I'm at the hairdresser's tomorrow which is my one bit of true extravagance so will dust off the debit card for that in the morning :-) 
    Mortgage: £81,154.58 (03/19) - £54,849 (02/24)

    Delta, just wanted to say sorry, I just went over the list and for some reason hadn't marked your 2 days so far, I could have sworn I did so not sure what happened there, maybe jet lag? :(:( Apologies! Hope you are doing okay? ...

    I'm doing pretty rubbish with NSDs, haven't had any since I've been away but it is travel so I guess that's how it goes. It won't be too long before I am back. :/ I am finding it a bit harder not to make mistakes with the tally just because I have to keep a separate list in Notepad with the html code to get the emojis to work but Notepad is a bit eccentric, if you close the window it doesn't tell you if you've saved or not, among other things. Sorry if I do make an error and please feel free to tell me! I really enjoy this thread, I'm so glad it's still thriving in the wake of the revamp of the site :) I so hope it stays that way!
