    Haven't bagged one today as had food delivery and filled up car - hopefully for the month but have a 4 hour round trip to deliver DS1 back to Uni next week, so we shall see...

    Our kettle has been on the way out for a few weeks, and in a rare moment of good timing has chosen today to die. While I'm annoyed to have to splash out on a new one so soon into my low / no spend January, I'm also pleased that it coincided with a spend day lol!

    Returned everything ordered in the Next sale as they were wants, not needs, and picked up the last thing ordered - a crochet set that was a bargain in readiness for a niece's birthday - and paid it off account today.

    So today could technically be a no spend day as have brought my cousin and her son to a farm for the day as a late XMAS gift. Was from last year’s budget and even managed a coffee and cake from the last of 2023 gifting budget. 
    Not counting as one of my 12 though!
