Horribly spendy this month so far… ran out of butter today (needed to make some fairy cakes and a crumble for guests tomorrow), tomorrow we had planned a takeaway (first one for about 3 years!) and Monday is food shopping day 😬. Will be playing catch up after that!2026 decluttering: 72 🤑🥉 ⭐️

Morning all.
It’s been a very spendy few days. School has changed the way pe happens, so new trainers have had to be bought to be left at school.I also bought kids some new tracksuit as I know how fast they sell out in Morrison.
going for a NSD today, will let you know how I get on

After a spendy few days leading up to DD1’s birthday weekend, finally had first NSD of the month yesterday!!
I’m also calling a NSD today as I’m confident I’m not going to spend anything shut inside with the kids whilst DH is at work for the rest of the day.
2 NSDs down, 10 to go!!
