    same as Tuesday, yesterday was a NSD day (brought lunch to the office and didn't buy anything). Early call for another NSD today, as I'm working from home. In the afternoon I will go to a meeting about my volunteering, but I am not planning to buy anything apart from the bus fare.

    A Spendy day for me today. I booked Lazer Tag and tickets to Flamingo Land for my sons, for half term. I get special rates at Flamingo Land through my hubbys work so I only paid £40 for 4 tickets. :D 

    I also spoke to my bank about my mortgage term coming to an end. I have made an appointment for next month but the bank seem to think we are in a good position because of the equity in the house. Hoping it won't be as bad as I feared! 

    Have a nice rest of the day all xx

    NSD 16 today (Thursday)

    This no spending challenge is certainly paying off!
    I just transferred some of the money I haven't spent this month into my Happy Fund, for holidays, trips away etc.

    By most people's standards it probably wasn't a huge sum but to see the balance go up and up every month is exciting 🤩
