It should be NSD 4. I have spent on taxi fares but I should bill it as an expense to the estate - it's easy to forget about stamps, phone calls (nearly £10 today and lots of people phoned me) and other expenses and next thing you're wondering where all your money's gone.

I'm so sorry for your loss mothernerd, make sure and take some time for yourself when you can xx

Success 1 - Today I went to buy a reduced 2022 diary, couldn't find a decent size one, so I picked up a notebook. Standing in the queue I realised I have a diary at home that covers 2022 and is perfectly serviceable though not perfect. I left the queue and popped the notebook back and left the shop.

Success 2 - I got ready to go to the shop this evening, coat and shoes on, and was waiting for my son to get his stuff on to go with me. I was going to be naughty and buy some chocolate, I rationalised that I'd already had to spend money so wouldn't blow a NSD. Then i remembered I spent 58p earlier on some yellow sticker finest mince pies and some Baileys extra thick cream, coat off and supper was delicious!

Not huge things but for me they're a big change from the usual behaviour.

Hugs to those that are in need.

NSD 2 yesterday. I have put the energy tracker back on as I am aware of the potential price hikes coming our way. It does make me turn things off for sure.

Grateful for, a little bit of yoga yesterday, and some time for 3 rows of knitting, some stuff getting organised at work.
