    Declaring one for yesterday. I did have to part with £2.40, but it was car parking for a trip to A&E, so think thats ok. Luckily my foot which I'd hurt is just bruised & swollen with nothing broken.

    this weekend was not a NSD, I ended up spending at the artisan fair on Saturday after I finished my volunteering, and then went back to some shops yesterday and bought a few things for my Summer wardrobe. I sold lots of stuff lately that doesn't fit me anymore, so I was feeling like I wanted a couple of new pieces. My resolution is that this will be my spend for the Summer wardrobe, so I'll try to stick to this for the next few months!

    On the other hand, today is a NSD day!

    a NSD for me today please. I bought a curry sauce and some breakfast bars from Aldi, but I think this is okay as they are groceries. 

    Submitted all my paperwork for my section 75 claim for my back door repair. 

    Prepaired my shopping list for Wednesday's shop. :D

    Monday is a No Spend Day for me.

    Really busy morning meant I didn't have time to stop for lunch. But got it all done and managed to finish at 2pm.

    Sorted out my linen cupboard and discovered a few bedsheets and duvet sets that we no longer want or need.
    The nicer ones will be donated to a charity, any that are wearing thin, beyond repair or are not good enough to pass on will go in the Rag Bag.
    When I have a free afternoon, I'm planning on putting all the ideas and skills I learned at the Eco event into practice and make something wonderful- A skirt? A rag rug? I don't yet.
