  • (Very) early call for today, to save me remembering to come back and post again, as I’m only going to the office and then home again. So that’ll be 17 NSDs so far. I have to have no more spends for the month, if I want to hit target.

    Today I have reached 13 NSDs. I bought petrol and there was a Hovis loaf best before tomorrow reduced to 34p next to the till, so those are 2 essential spends I am not counting. Also, I took something back to Sainsbury's last week and got a £6.10 gift card so I bought a little shopping with that and this made me smile, basically I need to get out more - hahahaha!
