Tuesday was a NSD
Wednesday was a very spendy day:
2 new bras
Renewing Bus Pass
Train tickets to visit daughter.
I categorise travel tickets as Necessary Expenses.
I usually try not to buy new clothes, preferring to repair or repurpose the clothes I already have and only replace them when items are beyond repair. However, I've recently lost some weight and needed a couple of properly-fitting, maximum support bras (women over 40, or anyone blessed with ample feminine assets will know what I mean!)
Again, these I would class as essential!
Thursday was another NSD.
According to my records, that makes 9 NSDs so far this month, or 10 if you class underwear as an essential purchase.
Friday (today) looks like being a rather spendy day. I have to sort out an outfit for the graduation party, cards and presents for two graduates and two family birthdays next week.
I'll let you know how I get on later.1 -
