NSD today. That’s number 7. (Was hoping for 8 by now to be honest but got nobbled by a snack over the weekend, I blame the stress of train chaos! 🤦🏻♀️)
A tip for anyone looking for birthday freebies (mine was last Wednesday)…
Costa app - got a reward of a free cake for up to six days past my birthday. I’m not a fan of spending here at all but my work colleagues love it. (So much so that one kind soul insisted on paying for a cake so I could keep her money!!)Ego restaurant - got a reward of a whole meal (starter, main and pudding) for up to 3 or 4 weeks past my birthday, so long as had someone else was eating with me. It really was a lovely meal. I think I got this as I’d bought a meal for 2 some weeks ago and they added me to a mailing list. I wasn’t paying for this meal anyway so passed the saving on to my mum who kindly paid.Just going off on a tangent there!Good luck all x1 -
