    Sunday was NSD 15, Monday definitely won't be an NSD.

    Early call for reaching my target of 20 NSDs today as I have taken soup into work. Really pleased to have controlled my spending so far this month.
  • I am afraid I have already spent today, game playing without even thinking about my NS desires. Ooops.
  • It's one for me today... Not going out as I may get blown away!
