    Back from holiday last night, so kicking off today with a NSD. Will be doing some food shopping, but I have a list and it’s necessary, so doesn’t count.

     Not an NSD today - been out and online buying bits for my crafting cupboard project ❤️🤩
    (It does feel good to have such a targeted spend, not just fritter as someone else up the thread said 😊).
