    Fell off the wagon so to say this weekend and spent freely - a day in town including drinks, lunch, cake and a fancy meal in the evening. Then Sunday drinks just to celebrate a month of frugality 🤔
    Starting my new pay month with a reset - will try for 18 up until my next pay check!

  • Saturday wasn't a NSD as I went to a yarn festival with a friend. I had set aside some money for it, but I ended up spending quite a bit more than that.

    Yesterday and today I have 2 NSD's, however! 

    For March I think I'm going to aim for 16, as I have a weekend away planned, seeing friends in 2 of the other weekends, and wanted to do a bit of celebration for Easter as Stepson is coming to visit :) so I might struggle to do more than 16, and if I'm not careful I might not even reach 16, but I have to try! Thank you @cathybird
