    You’ve reminded me I helped organise a clothes swap recently, it’s easy to do, if you ever fancy it x
    They have one at school for uniform. Although they're doing it a little early this year. I have to hand anything I'm donating in next week and I still need it all until the end of the year 🤣

    Most of our clothes are second hand, and I always try and find homes for things we don't use or have outgrown.

    NSD here 😃 which I think puts me half way to target. 

    The lock on my back door has bust. Really frustrating as I only had them fitted 18 months ago. They should be under warranty but typically Everest who fitted them went bust 3 weeks ago 🫣 I can't afford a pricey repair so I'm hoping either my credit card or my house insurance will pay out. That's my priority to chase tomorrow!

    @cathybird, isn’t a laptop charger a necessity? 🤔

    KK
    @KajiKita ha, that's true actually but after I posted that I also bought a couple of new torches, two books and some bird seed, so definitely a spendy day! xx

    Today was another NSD, despite me having to go to the office! I’m quite pleased: I brought lunch from home, I remembered to bring my water bottle so I filled it at the kitchen tap, and I made myself a ginger tea in the morning, using the teabags I bought a while ago and keep in the office drawers. I resisted the urge to buy expensive coffee, snacks, chocolate, lunch, other caffeinated drinks in the afternoon. I travelled by bus yet again, instead of train, so I didn’t spend anything apart from the £3.50 return trip with the bus, cheapest option available! Tomorrow I have to go again, and I am planning to do the same, lunch is readily packed in the fridge. I will report tomorrow evening, though, just in case!
