    yesterday was not a NSD day, as, despite bringing lunch to the office, I still was enticed in buying a portion of fries in the canteen. Sometimes you just need it! Today I am again in the office and I, again, brought lunch but I will not be tempted, so I am declaring today now as NSD!

    I got another on Sunday that I forgot to add, taking me up to 10. Since then it's all gone a bit awry... Hopefully will bag a couple more over the bank holiday weekend.

    I spent today on a plasterer to repair damage behind radiator, I feel that this was a necessity, However I will let you decide. Thanks @cathybird. Since I have not spent anything else and I have gone the entire week without snacks, except what I had in, I feel I am improving.

    @HotDog2020 that does sound like a necessity and since it was your only spend I think it is fair to call it an NSD. :) xx
