(Much cheaper than a new phone though!)

Another NSD for me today (if I declare early I’m less likely to spend!)

Day 9 of No Unnecessary Spending, and it seems to be going well so far.

Went out to the theatre last night, but these were tickets bought for me as a present weeks ago.
Took the train but I don't count travel expenses as part of this challenge. Like petrol or car maintenance costs, it's a necessary spend. I don't use a car and only use public transport when I it's too far or inconvenient to walk or cycle.
I did get a good deal on the train by booking early and using a Two Together railcard.

It was a great night out and really made me think about how to prioritise my spending.
I'm aiming for less "clutter" and more  experiences.

Just a thought- what is everyone planning for Valentine's Day?

The shops are piled high with Valentine's "gifts", most of it absolute tat,  none of them I want to give or receive.

What not-buying ideas have you come up with?

We've been married 30 years in August, and after the first few years we've never bothered with Valentine's Day cards or gifts. Suspect we're just far too cynical to get caught up in it 😀.

7/12 for me today. 

@Caeraugirl. After years together we don’t do presents. Usually a card though but my little one has loads of crafty bits and bobs at home so he can help me make one instead this year!

NSD number 5 today. 

My partner is away working when it’s Valentine’s Day so he can have a WhatsApp message. 🤣
