  • Thank you @beanielou and @cathybird! The cat is OK, I just had to pay for a spacer for his inhaler.

    I am going to claim one NSD which is a combo of yesterday and today. Yesterday's was only the essential spend - today's were less essential but cash only and much more controlled than usual. So I am giving myself this one :)
