Your spends are always such a pleasure to read, Excellently done.Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:Today (Friday) was not a NSD.
It's my day off, so I headed out in the sun....
I somehow ended up in a riverside beer garden and came home with:
Unnecessary spend ⚠️ new board game. Currently on sale at Amazon for about £40 but I paid £3 in a charity shop. It's brand new, still in it's original wrapping 😁
Some zips, buttons, fabric pieces and cottons to repair some of my clothes. According to my rules, materials and tools are classed as Necessary Spends so are allowed. Total cost- £4.50.
A lovely new shower bar from the Eco Refill Shop. Admittedly, I could have bought some basic soap from the supermarket but this wasn't that much more expensive- and smells like sunshine and holidays.1 -

NSD for Saturday for me.
Beautifully day, sun shining, so did a load of washing.
Four loads drying on the line.....then the idiot neighbour decides to have a massive lunchtime bonfire in his garden 🤬
Rushed around trying to close all the windows and get all the washing in, but wasn't quick enough.
My laundry now smells like smoke and everything will have to be washed again.
I'd talk to him if I thought it would do any good but he has "issues"and I don't feel like getting onto an argument with him.

I think I'm allowed a NSD today. I paid for the repair to my lock 🔐 and I bought myself new underwear as I was desperate but I think they were both necessary.
A walk and a picnic this afternoon before having dinner in the sunshine 🌞
