    Early call for day 5: the wind is howling and I'm surrounded by unfinished tasks that don't need me to spend money...

    One for me today please. I went through deleting passwords for lots of spending trigger sites…hopefully that will keep me on the straight and narrow!

    Having a very spendy time at the moment. If I'd known about everything in advance I could have arranged my NSD's better. Even today DS told me his car had stopped working and we don't have the batteries for it - another purchase needed 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I will be starting afresh next week. Tomorrow is a food shop day and then I should be back to NSD's 🤞

    At least I haven't spent silly money, is just lots of tiny purchases that have been poorly planned!
