Thank you for running the thread again cathybird.
Today was a spend-day (big grocery shop, for a start), so i used the opportunity to spend on a few things that last month cost me an NSD: I topped up children's school lunch accounts (even though they dont go back to school for a fortnight), we stocked up on dog food (partner paid for that), i topped up car with diesel ,even though it was still half-full, and fuel is an allowable spend according to my rules. Hopefully this will make it easier to reach my NSD target this month.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76
