    Not one for me, I bought some materials to redo a bit of floor and two books. :)

    Apologies for my absence in February. Everything went out of the window as I was away for 3 weeks training down south. I had to spend everyday on an evening a meal and on the days that I did go to friends or family to eat I still had to buy my lunch  :s.. hoping to claim back the expenses which in retrospect would give me all my NSD's but we shall see!

    I am aiming to be more accountable this month and know I am late to the party but please could I be added for 10 NSD for March. I am going to claim my first NSD today, as I am refusing to leave the house :) . I've stocked up on food and fuel and have absolutely no reason to buy anything. Gave my self a little pep talk there!

    This is likely to be my third spendy day in a row, and I don't like it lol!

    Spends are all semi-planned, but in the spirit of my NSD rules I'm still classing them as spend days. It was birthday gift and treat spends on Thursday, suits and lunch for both DSs yesterday for an upcoming family event - they're both students so don't really have the cash to cover that - and today we're off to watch DS2 in his Cup game. Tickets have already been bought, but we buy drinks, raffle tickets etc when there, to support the club, so don't begrudge those spends.

    I'm hoping I can get back on the NSD train tomorrow, but will definitely be back onboard from Monday.
