    Thanks for the suggestion @Worlds_Worst_Superhero. I’m never 100% sure what to count and not to count as an NSD so I tend to count everything other than monthly bills, groceries and petrol as spends 🤷‍♀️
    @AuntieL there aren't really any hard and fast rules about donations, and strictly speaking they're not a necessity, but they are helpful and kind, and if it was your only spend all day I think you could probably discount it. xx :)
    Thank you for your advice @Cathybird. I’d classed it as a NSD so decided to order a raised bed for my garden on the same day - so definitely not a NSD n the end!
