Spent Friday but NSD Saturday1

Stuck on 7 NSD. Yesterday was an expensive day - £56 dryer repair call out charge - it couldn’t be fixed so had a new dryer delivered today and glad to say at least im loving the new dryer, best friend has been over today and we normally have a takeaway but we had local supermarket pizzas for £8 total instead so a big saving there. Shopping being delivered tomorrow (I am counting my grocery shopping as spend days, I appreciate many don’t but I’m a chocoholic 😂). Working away next week so as long as I take my snacks and pasta mug shots with me for lunch I shouldn’t have chance to spend any money 🤞. Need to try and not spend much now so I can replenish the emergency fund after emptying it for the dryer 😊 Good luck 🤞 everyone 😉Aim to pay off £13,000 by December 2024

NSD on Friday
Unfortunately an NSD today, I didn't need to pay for my MOT, as the car failed epically. I'm now waiting for a quote for the list of repairs.

still 2/10 I had a difficult day so I bought Snacks. I really shouldn't have and really I don't want to - I did enjoy them mostly, but at what price. (health and finances).1
