    I messed up, first I purchased a extended tour ticket to puffin island to do tomorrow however the money doesn't go out until tomorrow! so I thought I would be able to get my 20 days for the dancing chicken, however I have also made another purchase of beaded necklace! I am excited about tomorrow. so last day is a spendy day, no dancing chicken for me!!

    1 more today, so takes me to 12. Happy with that considering DH had to have new glasses that were more than we had budgeted for and then we've had to pay council today for coming to get rid of a rat in the garden, and last week I had to have a new phone as my screen broke on old one. So onwards and upwards to a less spendy May.

    Final NSD today, to bring me to a total of 15/20.

    I'm still counting this month as a win, as in the past I would have thrown in the towel once I knew I'd be quite a bit off target for the month.
