I made a couple more sales so £25 for the week, not so bad.
Just made a wee OP of £20 from round ups. Currently doing a crazy amount of overtime but planning to calm down a bit in September!

I think I managed to achieve an NSD today although DDs have been flying out of my account! Today was gym, a run and much house tidying…
