  • I do have a weekend away and a couple of events planned for March, but will still aim for a target of 20 NSDs in March. Thank you @cathybird for running these challenges, they're really helping me consider my spending habits.

    Number 19 for me today - one more til target! 
  • Apologies for my absences in February - OH had an op which had meant my time wasn't my own as the saying goes. All fine and back to normal from today. So, just took a big gulp and checked bank statement and I have 9 NSD to add from 14th to 27th taking me to 16 I think. Sadly not going to make target of 20 this month and have spent rather a lot too for a short month but I can't change it, I just have to do better next month.

    @cathybird may I try for 20 again please for March.
