    Still haven't managed a NSD what with village fetes, emergency cat food and Tesco delivery in the first three days!  I have get my frozen raw dog food tomorrow so it won't happen then either! Gah! 
    Hi DizzyImp,

    I think you could could exclude emergency cat food (an essential to stop the cat gnawing on your leg or leaving home😉) and the groceries delivery (essential, planned, budgeted for etc). 😊 This challenge is more about making you stop and think about unconscious and unplanned spending.

    I agree, think the cat food and groceries should be excluded. x :)
