    I forgot to post yesterday to say it wasn't an NSD because my fridge freezer died and though I did contact a local repairman he basically said "it's the X, not an economical repair, it's a lost cause", so I got a new one. I felt really ill-prepared actually because the model I had is no longer available in the UK, which I hadn't realised, and so I don't feel I researched the replacement quite as much as I might have, but that's something to keep in mind for any future appliance breakdown perhaps. Today will be an NSD with any luck but tomorrow, probably not, so won't get to 20 this month. It's been an expensive month between one thing and another but there's a shiny new month on the horizon

    Ugh …. 😑  I hate that when you get a major appliance failing on you - my worst is the washing machine. When that fails, it sends me into a right spin ….
