    Yes. Counting NSD’s seems so pointless

    I know exactly what you mean, it does seem to pale before life and death and what we are living through, but I still feel taking care of our own little patch of garden is important and being financially careful actually really helps in a time like this, it seems to me - not just for our own sake but our communities - if you know you can survive in straitened circumstances and you're used to planning, you're much less likely to panic and rush out knocking down elderly ladies in a race for the loo roll - don't you reckon? ... I'm really grateful I have learned to handle the day-to-day pennies, I shudder to think how the old me would have coped with these circumstances ... I probably would have maxed out all the credit cards already and had none left over for groceries. But I understand how you see it though. It feels so huge. xx
