    Morning all :) 

    I have bought a Too Good To Go bag for tonight, it will come from my grocery budget, so if it doesn't count it's a NSD.

    I moved £20 into my savings yesterday,  and put £35 aside for a deposit on a holiday for next year (I need to have saved 175 by month end) small amounts I know but I'm doing what I can. 

    My child benefit went up slightly so I've put my gas and electric up too, to cover the cold weather we are having.

    Hope everyone has a nice Bank Holiday weekend 😀

    Not an NSD today. Topped up a voucher work gave me at the December holiday time to buy 4 lovely gardening books. Completely indulgent but almost free at a £6 spend - but definitely not an NSD 😉

    @cathybird is the guru of NSDs but I reckon that TGTG does NOT lose you an NSD as it has legitimately come from a planned spend category (groceries). 
    Well done on all the other ££ shufflings, savings and plannings too 😊
