The hospital parking was only £4.40 and neither of us spent anything on lunch (the whole thing was a time wasting farce but I am firmly brightsiding!) but later I had to go and get my car plugged in for diagnostics on an engine warning light that came up last weekend. No costs associated with that but the garage had good quality concentrated screen wash so I spent £6 on that.Aiming for an NSD tomorrow - breakfast, lunch and snacks all planned for tomorrow 😊

Not one today. Totally unexciting purchases… a PJ top as mine is falling apart, some kitchen cloths as they have fallen apart and a charity donation for the earthquake (collected by the school). Oh - and a book for DS who wanted to know about earthquakes and it seemed quite complicated talking about tectonic plates (and subsequently about Pangaea)… I really needed some pictures!2026 decluttering: 388 🤑🥉 ⭐️🥈🥇 ⭐️ ⭐️💎 ⭐️
