    Not a NSD for me... but I am pleased with what I've spent my money on 😁...

    I went to fill my car up this morning and then I popped into Tesco to get two birthday presents for kids parties. I got both of the kids a top which was in the sale, they were originally £9 each but I paid £8.50 for both. I think they're lovely and better than some cheap plastic tat which will end up in the bin!

    I then checked the reduced section and got some Walkers Sensations crisps, reduced from £1 to 20p each. Slightly cheaper than the crisps I buy from aldi and delicious 😋 

    I got £15 back from a cancelled swimming lesson, then my boy came home with letter for a school trip costing £15 ..easy come easy go 🤣

    Going for lunch tomorrow,  not sure if it's a spend or not because I'm using money I was gifted for Christmas 🤷‍♀️ I can't decide if its a gift or if technically I'm still spending 😅
