    Not an NSD today but *SO* worth it! Spent £2.51 on book (with TCB of course! 😉) that I have been trying to identify for YEARS! ❤️🤩

    Oh what was the book - if it's not a rude question? I love books, and have kept some I had when I was a child. x
    I have PM’d you 😊

    After a pretty disastrous attempt in July, aiming for 15 again. 
    Rupacomp, I think "disastrous" is not being fair to yourself, 9 is good, and any NSD is better than none. x :) 
    Hehe very true... I've paid a bit more attention to my diary this time round and worked out what's possible. And got my first NSD in today!
    Savings goal by 31/12/24: £22000
