    Kicking off April with an NSD and also I am on a "book-buying fast" for the whole of the month - books are great but I am a bit over budget for the year so far so going to focus on reading some of the ones I have already bought instead. :)

    Thank you for the link @cathybird.  I've so enjoyed being part of this thread, it's really made me think before I spend\order online.  I'm back to keeping a written record of outgoings again, I'd let it slip a few months ago but realised discipline is all!  :)

    April already!
    Day 1, I'm not going out today: am out of town Thursday and Friday so need to clear the contents of the fridge (preferably by eating it...)
