    8th Feb was a no spend day for me so on 7/20. Sadly whilst today planned to be one we have someone coming out to repair the dryer. However pleased that I have arranged a repair as when I wasn’t watching the pennies I would have just bought a new one so doing my bit for the environment too 😉

    Another 2 NSD's for me, so 3/12. Think I'll struggle for next few weeks as I'm away training Mon-Fri and staying in a hotel. Not sure how to go about the food situation without a fridge or cooker! Fear that I may have to buy food daily but trying to think of ways to be creative. Really hate buying packaged /ready foods but might not have much of a choice. I guess I could use my car as a fridge right now :)
