    Spend day for me I'm afraid.
    Tesc@ order was being delivered so as I help at a coffee morning I bought 2 raffle tickets. proceeds go to charity so I don't feel so bad.   Got a birthday card for my friend.  
    still on 2 but hoping for a NSD tomorrow.

    Had to get some groceries yesterday, but today is my second NSD. Plan to try and hang on for diesel until Friday as that's when my next grocery delivery arrives.
