    Hi, I would like 2/15 please- I have only spent prolific funds today on necessary items, so I don't count that as a spend! Thanks @cathybird.

    No Spend Day #5 today.

    Wanted to head off today to see a May Day parade, only to find the bus we usually get is not running this Sunday- and there's no way I'm paying over £50 on taxis (that's even if we can get one willing to drive into the middle of nowhere!)

    Feeling a bit deflated today, I was quite looking forward to it 😟

    I'm going to plan something nice for tomorrow instead.
