    I’m not doing as well as I’d like. Today was NSD 5. I know it’s not really rubbish but I’ve been in coffee shops and little shops and on buses - all of which I’ve been managing to avoid in the name of being more frugal. 

    I started a new job last week and I genuinely love it but my NSDs have slipped for sure! 
    @MrsCautious you don't need to include bus fares if it helps! Fuel and public transport are two of the things it's fine to exclude xx :)

    Thank you! 
    I always think I should count it as it’s walkable  😇 I might change this! 
    Definitely NSD 6 today as have been working from home and not gone outside.
